Assegai Wide Trail 3C/EXO+/TR 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend the Assegai EXO+ to riders who want near-DH confidence without committing to a full DoubleDown casing. I’ve mounted the 3C MaxxTerra version for everyday enduro laps where rolling efficiency matters, and the 3C MaxxGrip for race days and park riding. It sets up tubeless easily, holds pressure well, and the transition knobs make cornering feel incredibly predictable."

When we build out a modern trail or enduro bike, the Assegai EXO+ Tubeless Ready Tire is often our first choice for front-wheel duty. Its tread pattern delivers consistent traction across the full profile, maintaining predictable grip at varying lean angles on loose-over-hardpack, blown-out berms, and slick roots.

The EXO+ construction combines a robust 60 TPI casing with added sidewall protection to resist cuts and abrasions on rocky descents, striking a balance between lightweight trail feel and enduro-ready durability. Tubeless Ready compatibility allows us to run lower pressures for increased contact patch and reduced rolling resistance while using sealant to guard against small punctures. Compound choice further refines performance: 3C MaxxTerra offers a versatile blend of rolling efficiency and braking traction for daily trail riding, while 3C MaxxGrip uses a softer rubber formulation to maximize damping, cornering control, and braking bite in wet, loose, or race-focused conditions.

Wide Trail sizing is optimized for modern rims around 35mm internal width, ensuring proper tread profile and consistent knob engagement. We recommend pairing the Assegai EXO+ up front with a faster-rolling rear tire for balanced speed and control, or running it front and rear for maximum traction on aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill terrain.
