High grip and immense braking power characterize the second generation Minion DHR and make it the ideal tire for aggressive Gravity riding. The versatile folding tire owes these properties not least to its optimized tread design.
While supported side lugs ensure optimum lateral grip, the transverse center lugs, some of which are paddle-shaped, guarantee maximum control and traction when braking. To improve acceleration, the center lugs are also beveled. Strategically placed indentations in turn benefit the steering behavior. In addition, the Minion DHR II cuts an excellent figure not only as a rear tire but also as a front tire.
As a single-compound tire, the MaxxTerra rubber compound is the logical evolution of the previous 3C MaxxTerra, which featured a triple-compound design. Developed in the lab and perfected by team and test riders on trails around the world, it delivers more grip and longer durability while maintaining consistently low rolling resistance. In terms of numbers, tread life has been increased by 30% and grip by 15%. That means better performance and more riding enjoyment, and less time spent changing tires.
Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty. Maxxis TR tires use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tires are the only Maxxis tires approved for use with liquid sealants.
The EXO+ carcass is based on a 60 TPI carcass coated with abrasion-resistant rubber. The tire sidewalls feature a reinforced, rubberized EXO puncture protection layer, and a short butyl insert is positioned over the tire bead. This makes tires with EXO+ Protection ideal for aggressive trail riding and lighter enduro races, and particularly well-suited for the higher torque and weight of e-MTBs.
Wide Trail (WT) tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work perfectly on all rims with an inner rim width of 30-40 mm.
