Thorts on the assegia any 1

Soft compound. Grippy as hell. But the trade off is they don't roll well.

?? Ive got buchers on and to be fair carnt fault them just not sure what to do theres so mich choice

 

[lumpy]

I had a Minion on front but replaced it when the side knobs started to tear off. Have the Assegai now and it grips better and is lasting better too

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

was planning on putting the assegai on my levo, front and rear but, I just saw that vittoria came out with the mazza which looks pretty nice so now im undecided again.

[Rosemount]

Had Arse guys on the front for 12 months .
Hard to fault . Does what it says on the can .

 

[HORSPWR]

[Ripping g]

I have one on the front for Winter - I prefer it over the dhf. I'm not aggressive enough when leaning the dhf and it's caught me out a couple of times. I like the assegai, but I just wish it had more volume like the dhf. I might try the 2.6 next, currently running 2.5.

 

[Slowroller]

Super grippy, easy to ride. Probably overkill for most places.

I took them off my E-Sommet pretty promptly (they are standard fit). Incredibly grippy, in fact the grippiest tyre I've used and very predictable etc BUT they roll like a snail and will hammer your battery range. Great for wet downhill runs I imagine.

This is bang on.

Amazing tire for wet roots / rocks. (MaxGrip)
It slow rolling enough to make me work for it to clear jumps that my previous High Roller II made with ease.
Don’t get me wrong, the Assegai is so worth it, if grip and stability is what you’re after.

I just rode 45 miles on mine. Depends what your used too.

Same here, there's a spot in the DHF tread where you lean it over and there's not much bite. Seems to be grippy in the centre and grippy right out on the edges but there's a less confidence inspiring section between the two.

My first thought is that when I read it the name looks like Ass-Guy, but after some time I start to read it MaxAss. Never ridden it, so my thoughts are super unhelpful here.

I bought a package of 10 Maxxis tyres for 50 Chuffs, one was an Assegai 2.5 which I put on the front of my 18 Levo. I didn't really notice the drag but that is probably just me! Grip is great so I am now running a mullet setup and ordered a 2.6 x 29. I would not use it on the back. I tried a few different rear tyres and none stood out so I put the old Butcher from the front on and the combination was surprisingly good but it will lose a bit of performance long before it is worn out.

I have them on the front and rear. Great tyre although I went the maxterra instead of the Max grip to get a few extra klms out of them. The rear is just about shot after 2400ks. The front still has a bit of meat left in it and should be good for another 500-1000k it's currently done 3600ks.

Once gone I'll replace the rear with something faster rolling. I got a forekaster for $25 so I'll see how it goes. I've got another assegai lined up for the front.

I like dhf on rear; I think it's an awesome roller, and high volume. I prefer it on the rear because that "no man's land" (vacant space between centre knobs and side knobs) has no effect back there

I tried that and it wasn't as good as as a worn out Butcher but it could also be different riding conditions so we might both be correct! ???

Minion DHF? I've got one on the front of my Whyte E150RS and it doesn't seem as grippy as the High Roller 2 I've got on the front of my old Heckler. Already had one berm washout. Maybe I just need to lean it more.

Too slow and heavy,massive grip though, personally the Schwalbe Eddie Current is the tyre I replaced my Assegai with, superb tyre.

Innerleithen is steep enough and I get similar grip but more speed than I experienced with the Assagai and theyre better in the wet.
