According to the product specialist
Pros
Great downhill tyre for varying conditions on dry and wet sand to forest surfaces. |
The tall knobs on the sides of the tyre are reinforced, giving extra support and grip when cornering. |
DoubleDown for a two-layer 120 tpi carcass with a butyl insert. This keeps the weight down for enduro, but offers the protection of a downhill tyre. |
Triple compound MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds for ultimate grip and shock absorption. |
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
The Rocket Ron's open studded tread is well suited to wet and muddy conditions. |
The Addix Speed rubber compound gives you the lowest rolling resistance while still providing sufficient grip and durability. |
The Super Ground carcass features a SnakeSkin weave from bead to bead for good puncture resistance. |
Only a small speed penalty thanks to the smooth compound despite the semi-high studs. |
TLE (TubeLess Easy) technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
The wide knobs ensure optimum grip and high traction. |
The ProTection protective layer offers extra puncture protection. |
Tubeless compatibility allows riding with lower tyre pressure for the best grip. |
The knobs have enough clearance so that mud does not clump as quickly grip is maintained. |
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
Cons
As the Assegai 3C MaxxGrip DD TR tyres are specifically made for downhill racing, they are on the heavy side and may be slightly more difficult to mount than more flexible tyres. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
The weight of the Super Ground carcass is higher than the faster Super Race carcass, but it offers more puncture protection. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
This tyre is less suitable for extremely muddy conditions. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
