Maxxis Minion DHR II Folding Tire - 3C MaxxGrip | DH2 TR - 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

• 3C MaxxGrip rubber compound
• Tubeless Ready carcass with DH2 (2x120 TPI)  puncture protection
• DHR II TR casing with 2× 120 TPI

Triple Compound (3C) | The most important component of the tire is the rubber compound on the tread. Maxxis' 3C mixtures designed for mountain bikes use a harder base compound and two progressively softer compounds on top for optimum handling in the respective application areas. The side lugs are always softer than the center lugs. Different, individually optimized compounds are used for each area of application.

3C MaxxGrip | The rubber compound that has made MAXXIS tires the gold standard in MTB downhill racing.  3C MAXXGRIP offers ultimate grip and superior shock absorption for unmatched traction and performance in downhill races.

Downhill Casing DH2 | A consistent evolution of the previous downhill casing. Tailored to today’s demands on DH tires, the new DH Casing offers a sturdier sidewall with extra sidewall protection, while also providing a more supple tread thanks to a double 120 tpi casing instead of the previous double 60 tpi casing. The new DH casing stands out from the previous version with better rolling performance, enhanced puncture protection, and the same weight.

Tubeless Ready (TR) | Tires without tube have many advantages. Riding with less air pressure improves traction and rolling resistance is also lower than with inner tubes. In addition, the risk of punctures is significantly reduced by using a sealant instead of an inner tube, as small holes are immediately sealed again.
