Maxxis Assegai vs Maxxis Minion DHF

Who’s It For?If you’ve ridden a Minion DHF, like its versatile grip, but found yourself longing for a more consistent transition from the center knobs to the side knobs while cornering, the Assegai is worth considering — especially as a front tire, and particularly if you’re not looking to use it predominantly in very wet conditions.The Assegai doesn’t offer quite as solid of a bite with the side knobs fully engaged as the DHF, but the Assegai also doesn’t require the same commitment to leaning the bike over through the open channel between the center and side knobs to get there. This can make for more accessible grip if you’re not someone who’s always committed to really leaning your bike over through every turn.Bottom LineFor many riders, having predictable grip at the range of lean angles is of supreme importance

My god. The difference from standard tyres the bike comes with (WTB) to Maxxis Minion DHF even in the dry is ASTOUNDING. I think the pressure gauge has also helped because I know I'm running a good pressure but my god, the grip I now seem to have going into corners is insane. Why did I not upgrade the tyres sooner!?!?
