Maxxis Minion DHR II Folding Tire - MaxxTerra | DH TR | WT - 27.5x2.50"

Minion DHR II - Do It All & Everywhere

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.

Features of the Maxxis Minion DHR II folding tire

• MaxxTerra rubber compound
• Tubeless Ready carcass with DownHill (DH) puncture protection
• Wide Trail (WT) construction adapted to wide rims

MaxxTerra Compound

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.  

DownHill Casing (DH)

This is what winners look like! Maxxis tires with DH Casing are successfully used by professional Downhill racers with exactly the same construction. The basis for this is formed by double carcass plies with 60 TPI each and butyl inserts in the sidewall above the tire bead.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

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. 

Wide Trail (WT)

Traditional tires were developed for narrow rims, which is why they are too angular on wide rims and can therefore no longer offer optimum performance. In contrast, the Wide Trail design from Maxxis relies on a tread layout and a tire shape that is tailored to modern rims. WT tires are optimized for 30 mm rims, but also demonstrate their advantages perfectly with an inner rim width of up to 39 mm.
