Maxxis Minion DHR II MTB Tire

This tire is specifically engineered as a rear-wheel tire. Its tread pattern is optimized for braking traction and acceleration, which complements the steering-focused design of front-specific tires like the Minion DHF.

Yes, this tire is Tubeless Ready. You can set it up with sealant for better puncture protection and the ability to run lower tire pressures for increased grip.

The dual-compound rubber uses a harder base layer for rolling efficiency and durability, combined with a softer compound on the knobs for better grip. This balance ensures the tire doesn't drag on climbs while still providing confidence in corners.

Yes, the DHR II is designed to handle a wide range of terrain, including wet and loose conditions. The paddle-like center knobs are spaced to clear mud effectively while providing consistent braking bite.

The butyl insert provides extra structural support to the sidewall. This helps prevent pinch flats, protects your rim from impacts, and keeps the tire stable when cornering hard at lower pressures.

This tire is designed for standard 29-inch rims. However, because it uses a wire bead, it is heavier and less flexible than folding-bead tires, making it best suited for aggressive trail or downhill bikes where weight is less of a concern than durability.
