The Maxxis Minion DHR II Tyre represents a refined solution for mountain bikers seeking a balance between aggressive performance and versatile trail capability. Engineered with a trail-optimised design, this tyre merges the robust tread pattern of its downhill counterpart with a lighter casing, delivering reliable traction and control without sacrificing agility. Its design incorporates widened side knobs inspired by the renowned Minion DHF, enhancing cornering stability and confidence on demanding terrain.

Constructed with dual compound technology, the Minion DHR II offers an optimal blend of low rolling resistance and superior grip, making it suitable for a variety of trail surfaces including loose, medium, and mixed conditions. The tyre’s paddle-like centre knobs and ramped, siped tread pattern improve braking efficiency and maintain speed consistency. Additionally, the EXO puncture protection layer reinforces durability by guarding against sidewall cuts and abrasions, ensuring resilience on rocky or technical paths.

Designed to be tubeless ready, this tyre supports lower air pressures which enhance traction and reduce the likelihood of flats, making it a dependable choice for serious trail riders.
