Maxxis Minion DHR II 29x2.40 WT Tubeless Folding Tyre 60 TPI 3C MaxxGrip EXO+

The Maxxis Minion DHR II 29x2.40 WT 60 TPI Folding 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ Tubeless Tyre is engineered to elevate your trail riding experience with unmatched cornering and braking performance. This tyre carries the aggressive tread pattern of its downhill counterpart yet features a lighter casing optimized for trail conditions. Its wider, redesigned shoulder knobs—borrowed and enhanced from the legendary Minion DHF—deliver exceptional support and grip, allowing you to corner with confidence on diverse terrain.

Equipped with paddle-like center knobs that enhance braking power and a ramped, sipped tread designed for smooth rolling and precise tracking under braking, this tyre seamlessly combines control and efficiency. The Tubeless Ready design paired with the Wide Trail (WT) construction ensures optimal compatibility with modern wider rims, providing a balanced profile that maximizes traction and stability. Reinforced with EXO+ puncture protection, the tyre offers increased durability and resistance against flats, making it a reliable choice for challenging rides.

Built with Maxxis’s proprietary 3C MaxxGrip compound, this tyre uses the softest rubber blends to achieve superior grip and slow rebound, essential for maintaining traction on loose, wet, or variable surfaces. The 60 TPI casing balances durability and weight, while the folding bead enhances packability and ease of installation. Whether you’re tackling technical descents or fast-flowing trails, the Minion DHR II is crafted to perform at the highest level without compromise.
