Maxxis Minion DHR II Tire

While it is primarily designed as a rear tire to provide excellent braking and acceleration traction, many riders pair it with a Minion DHF on the front for a balanced, aggressive setup. It can be used on the front, but it is optimized for rear-wheel performance.

WT stands for Wide Trail. This means the tire casing is optimized for modern rims with an inner width between 30mm and 35mm, ensuring the tread profile sits correctly for predictable cornering and stability.

The DoubleDown casing uses two layers of 120 TPI material, providing significantly more sidewall support and puncture protection than a standard trail tire. It is essentially a downhill-rated casing that is lighter than a full-blown DH tire, making it ideal for enduro racing or aggressive trail riding.

Yes, this tire is e-bike compatible. The robust DoubleDown casing and the 3C MaxxGrip compound are well-suited to handle the extra weight and torque of an electric mountain bike.

3C MaxxGrip is Maxxis' stickiest, slowest-rebounding rubber compound. It provides maximum traction and grip in technical, loose, or wet conditions, though it will wear out faster than harder compounds designed for longevity.

No, this is a Tubeless Ready tire, meaning it is designed to seat easily on compatible rims with sealant. Ensure your rim tape and valves are properly installed to take full advantage of the lower pressures and reduced rolling resistance this setup offers.
