maxxis assegai vs dhr2

by Wil Barrett 2 years ago 2. You could definitely use the Assegai as a rear tire. Both the Exo+ casing construction and the 3C MaxxTerra compound sit in the middle of Maxxis’ offerings. As of this writing, I have 46 miles on them, and I learned something interesting: The open block tread pattern feels weird on roots and solid rocks.

The Dissector is the newest addition to Maxxis' mountain bike tire lineup, the result of a collaboration with Troy Brosnan that began in early 2018. The knobs on the Assegai are tall, falling right between the height of the DHR II and the Shorty.

In terms of the actual tread, the biggest differences come down to the Assegai’s intermediate knobs, and it’s slightly smaller side knobs. The Assegai is a burly tire made for both front and rear use.

A number of brands have released tread patterns that have intermediate knobs for the reasons we outlined in the review and in your comment. The Assegai is a new downhill tire from Maxxis designed with input from South African DH legend, Greg Minaar. As I’ll get into below, the Assegai’s additional intermediate knobs and more widely spaced centerline knobs make for the most notable difference on trail, in my opinion.I’d like to point out that these tires both measure at or slightly larger than their stated width (something that wasn’t true with some past Maxxis tires). The Maxxis Assegai was created as a blend of several of their most popular tires. I wanted to see how much battery the bike used up for each tire.The test was successful. Before picking the right tire to fit your needs, first think about the different terrains you may be riding on and wh… Das lässt ihn derzeit aus Verschleißgründen nur als Vorderreifen zu. Details: Maxxis Minion DHR II. The casing of both tires measure to within tenths of a millimeter of one another, 59.3 mm for the Assegai versus 59.6 mm for the DHF.

It has been the front tire (and sparingly, a rear — more on that later) of choice for my riding for some time.But for my style, there was always something missing. This is the reason the Assegai caught my attention. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tire ready to do battle on the mountain.

The pronunciation belies what the Assegai actually is: a traditional Zulu warrior spear from the KawZulu Natal region of Minnaar’s native South Africa. Lots of grip. I’ve been on a few tires on modern wider rims where I did notice that the square-ish profile seemed to engage all the knobs at once in some situations. The Aggressor is a far faster-rolling tire than the DHF, and the DHR II is a much stronger braking one. And the same time, that large open tread has got to help on mud and sand – perhaps making them great winter tires. So, good job Maxxis with that tire that is also plenty grippy. The Assegai took about 1.5 years to develop, starting with Mr. Minnaar convincing Maxxis about the relevance of another tread layout. Maxxis Minion DHF vs Maxxis Minion DHR II, which tire is best?
