Maxxis Minion DHR 2 WT DL Tubeless-Ready Mountain Bike Tyre for Trail Riding

Experience unparalleled control and confidence on every trail with the Maxxis Minion DHR 2 WT DL Tyre. Designed as a lighter yet equally aggressive version of its downhill counterpart, this tyre features a tread pattern that excels in cornering and braking performance. Borrowing the widened side knobs from the iconic Minion DHF, it offers exceptional support that lets you carve corners like never before. The refined and redesigned ramped and siped tread ensures fast rolling and precise tracking even under heavy braking, making it an outstanding choice for riders who demand both speed and control.

Built with the advanced 3C MaxxTerra compound, the Minion DHR 2 WT balances grip and durability, delivering superior traction on loose and hardpack terrain without sacrificing tread life. The EXO+ breaker technology enhances puncture resistance and sidewall durability, allowing you to tackle rugged trails with confidence. Its Wide Trail construction optimizes the tyre profile for wider rims, enhancing cornering stability and overall performance. Plus, the tubeless-ready design means you can run lower pressures for improved traction and reduced rolling resistance, all while minimizing the risk of flats.

Whether you're descending technical sections or powering through loose corners, the Maxxis Minion DHR 2 WT DL Tyre is engineered to keep you in control and pushing harder. Its folding bead and 120 TPI casing keep the tyre lightweight yet robust, weighing just 940g, making it a versatile component that combines durability with performance for serious trail riders.
