Maxxis Assegai 3C MaxxTerra EXO+ TR

If you are looking for incredible grip and are willing to pay the price of extra rolling resistance for it, this is the tyre for you. Even especially if you're a not-so-advanced biker like me who doesn't flatten his bike in corners. Still, you quickly get the grip you need here, unlike, say, the Minion DHF which really only comes into its own if you dare to lay the bike flat in corners (which I don't and can't do) The grip is unseen in different conditions: rock, forest, road, wet, mud (while this is not a mud tyre). Rolling resistance is a lot higher than race tyres, though. So for XC cycling, I definitely wouldn't buy this. I would take this for downhill and enduro, or if, as in my case, you also ride xc, but have an electric mountain bike, then you will only feel that rolling resistance from a slightly faster draining battery.
