I ordered that exact tyre and they sent a 2.5 Maxx Terra ?‍♂️ Contacted them and they told me it was a listing error.

If you order it you’ll get something else ?

Oh thanks for the heads up and loving the forum and your youtube channel your living the dream my friend ?????
 
Yeap, same for me. I ordered the 29×2.6 Maxxgripp DD from two different shops and both sent me a different tire, but not what was listed and what I ordered.

So long I'm happy with the 29x2.5 Maxxgripp DD.

You can get the 2.6 with maxxterra grip from this website apparently bikeimport.ch.

I have been riding one here in California for a few months now. The 2.6 is REALLY quite large. I wish I had gone 2.5 for my Turbo Levo Comp. It grips for days!!! Stickiest tire I have ever ridden.

Do you have the maxxterra or the maxxgrip version ? Thanks
 
I rode the Thok TK01 with Assegai 2.6" Maxxterra 3C Eco+. Didn't measure them, but they seemed comparable to the Minion DHF/DHR 2.6". They seemed wider than the Assegai 2.5".
 
Still no 2.6 option. Of the 2.5 options I believe the TB00097400 to be preferable. Anyone have a different experience?

Can't see this tyre on Maxxis site. Is it really coming for next season? That would be perfect as the the 29x2.50 Assegai is a bit on the narrow side. Maxxgrip is perfect for front tyre on an emtb.
 
I rode an Assegai 29 x 2.6 on the front on a Trek Rail 9.8. It was rocky and loose terrain. It hooked up well and went where I wanted it to go. Really good at 15-20 mph. I do not know what version (compound & tech) of the 2.6 was on the bike. No problem fitting between the forks.

Based on the customer comment there, that product listing has an error in that it's really the EXO+ version of the tire, and not the brand new MaxxGrip DD one.
