Maxxis Minion DHR II Tire

While it is primarily designed as a rear tire to provide excellent braking traction and climbing grip, many riders also use it as a front tire in loose or muddy conditions for its aggressive cornering bite.

This is a triple-compound rubber blend that balances grip and durability. It offers a softer, grippier rubber on the side knobs for cornering and a harder, faster-rolling base compound in the center to help the tire last longer.

The DHR II is optimized for loose-over-hard and medium terrain. While it rolls reasonably well, you might find it feels a bit sluggish on pure hardpack compared to a dedicated semi-slick or cross-country tire.

Wide Trail (WT) tires are optimized for rims with an inner width between 30mm and 35mm. This ensures the tire profile sits correctly, providing the intended cornering stability and sidewall support without the tire feeling squirmy.

Yes, this is a Tubeless Ready tire. When paired with sealant, you can run lower tire pressures, which significantly improves traction and comfort while reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The EXO casing adds a layer of cut-resistant material to the sidewalls. It is effective for general trail riding and protecting against typical trail debris, though it is not as heavy-duty as Maxxis's DoubleDown or DH casings.
