Maxxis Minion DHRII 27.5x2.40 WT 60 TPI Folding Tubeless Tyre 3C MaxxGrip EXO

The Maxxis Minion DHRII 27.5x2.40 WT 60 TPI Folding 3C MaxxGrip EXO Tubeless Tyre is designed to deliver exceptional performance on demanding trails. Combining the aggressive tread pattern of its downhill counterpart with a lighter casing, this tyre offers enhanced agility without compromising durability. The widened shoulder knobs, inspired by the renowned Minion DHF, ensure superior cornering control, while the paddle-like center knobs improve braking power. Its ramped and siped tread design promotes fast rolling and straight tracking under braking, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking precision and confidence on varied terrain.

Built with the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, this tyre excels in grip and traction, particularly in downhill applications where slow rebound properties are crucial. The EXO sidewall protection adds a layer of cut and abrasion resistance, making it reliable in rocky and challenging environments. Additionally, the Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tread layout for modern wider rims, enhancing the profile and overall tyre performance. Tubeless ready, it allows for lower air pressures to improve traction and reduce rolling resistance, while minimizing the risk of flats, offering a smooth and efficient riding experience.

Whether you are tackling loose, hard, or medium trail conditions, the Maxxis Minion DHRII is engineered to provide a perfect balance of grip, control, and speed. Its folding bead design contributes to easier installation and portability, making it an ideal upgrade for any mountain biker looking to push their limits with confidence and reliability.
