Product Description (Unique Rewrite)
The Maxxis Minion DHR II in its trail configuration brings the same proven tread design as the downhill version, but with a lighter single-ply casing. Using enlarged side knobs inspired by the iconic Minion DHF, this tyre delivers outstanding cornering stability and confident handling on aggressive terrain. The centre tread combines ramped blocks for quicker acceleration with siped edges that create a predictable, controlled feel when leaning the bike over. Under braking, the paddle-shaped centre knobs bite into the ground to maximise stopping power and keep the bike planted. Pair it with a Minion DHF on the front wheel for a hard-hitting trail setup that excels on steep and technical riding.
EXO Protection
Selected Maxxis tyres use EXO sidewall protection – a tough, abrasion-resistant fabric that guards against cuts without adding unnecessary weight. This flexible layer keeps the tyre performing naturally while giving extra confidence on rocky, unpredictable tracks where sidewall damage is common.
3C MaxxTerra Compound
3C MaxxTerra is Maxxis’ intermediate rubber compound blend. It offers more grip than 3C MaxxSpeed while maintaining better durability and lower rolling resistance than the softer 3C MaxxGrip. Ideal for riders who want strong traction without excessive tyre wear.
TR – Tubeless Ready
Designed for modern tubeless systems, this tyre uses a sealant-friendly rubber compound along with Maxxis’ durable dual-ply 60 TPI downhill-style construction and butyl sidewall insert for added support and protection. The Tubeless Ready bead ensures a secure fit on the rim, while the folding bead helps reduce overall weight.
