Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.50WT Folding Tubeless Tyre 60 TPI 3C MaxxGrip EXO MTB Tire

The Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.50WT 60 TPI Folding 3C Maxx Grip EXO Tubeless Tyre is the ultimate choice for aggressive mountain biking enthusiasts seeking superior traction and control. Designed as the benchmark for aggressive mountain tyres, the Minion DHF combines innovative tread patterns with advanced compounds to deliver unmatched performance on diverse terrains. Its ramped knobs reduce rolling resistance while channel-cut knobs enhance gripping edges, ensuring precise cornering and stable straight-line control.

Equipped with the 3C MaxxGrip compound, this tyre offers exceptional grip thanks to its soft rubber formulation that maintains traction even in downhill scenarios. The EXO protection layer reinforces the sidewalls, providing excellent resistance against punctures and abrasions on rocky, challenging trails. Moreover, its Wide Trail (WT) design optimizes the tyre profile for modern wider rims, enhancing ride quality and handling. Tubeless-ready technology allows for lower air pressures, improving traction and reducing the risk of flats, making it a versatile tyre for serious mountain bikers.

Whether you're tackling loose, medium, or wet terrain, the Maxxis Minion DHF is engineered to excel. Its folding bead makes it easy to transport and install, while the 60 TPI casing balances durability with weight. This tyre is designed to meet the demands of riders who require aggressive performance without compromising reliability.
