i went with the assegai because it had transition knobs and i thought it was going to be awesome, but my first 5 rides have been quite meh. feeling sketchy and what not. on yesterdays ride, i washed out my front wheel really bad 3 different times on a local trail that i ride 2-3 times a week. it is loose and dry right now, but still, im surprised im not getting along well with the tire. i really wanted to like it.
i came from a 27.5 2.5 dhf exo maxxgrip and now on an 2.5 assegai exo maxxterra.
all last night i beat myself up about "it's probably me and i messed up body position in those corners, how can i fix my body position? why am i not weighting the front tire enough? whats wrong with me?"
but after reading your review, maybe it's not me.
i didn't expect maxxgrip versus maxxterra to be THAT huge of a difference.
i hope there's an assegai exo maxxgrip version coming soon
