He was just feeling the Assegai for that race. It’s a pretty natural track that doesn’t have the top speed of many World Cup tracks so the benefits of the stability weren’t huge, so it came down to very fine points deciding which tread pattern was going to be best for the track on that day. Both tires would have been fine but there’s something to be said for almost 10 years of experience on a tire vs 1 year if the track neutralizes some of the DHX’s advantages. When I say it does everything the Assegai does that is...

I've seen it thrown around that the DHX can be used anywhere the Assegai is used. I thought Jackson had been swapping between the DHX and HR3 but then I noticed he just won (destroyed) the crankworx race on a Assegai. What about that course made him choose the Assegai over the DHX?

Thanks @notseanday. 1. Are any pros running DHX front and rear vs. DHX F / DHRII R? 2. When are folks deciding to run an Assegai vs. DHX? 3. Any indication if the casing technology will filter down to EXO+/DD?

I did some digging and found a nice summary Maxxis Minion DHX — new gravity/DH tread aimed at dry, hardpack conditions: Bigger, blockier lugs than before for support and braking power at speed Tighter-spaced center tread for faster rolling on hardpack; bigger shoulder lugs for off-camber grip New L-shaped center-to-shoulder transition Positioned as a fast, dry/hardpack-focused tire — sits alongside...

Is it meant to replace the Assegai or is it meant for drier conditions? I'm in central BC, so dry and dusty most of the time. Assegai works great until the dust gets deep, then the High Roller is my go-to. The DHX looks like the perfect tire for my use.

There are two downhill versions on the site right now. The one labeled TLR isn't available for purchase. I'm just guessing here, maybe they are just rebranding their 2bliss (tubeless) to TLR

I think soon. There is a TLR (tubeless radial?) version on the site and a 2bliss version (old version) When you look at the new demo specs it puts the TLR version as the factory tire as well. Before you try, no, there is no stock and doesn't say when it will be available

I think the "dhf2" will be more of a comparable tire to the assegai than the hr3. I just ordered my DH tires for the summer but I'm also hoping the new dhf2 gets released

Americans are funny, you can have the Nascar Freedom Jesus 500 sponsored by NRA , big pharma and like Busch light and people will say that this is acceptable and more than ok for kids/role models, while "porn" or weed (remember when JD Swanguen got a ban from racing due to having weed in his system?) are still seen as big bad evil and will corrupt the mind of your young teens.
