Maxxis Minion DHR II Folding Tire - 3C MaxxGrip | DH TR | WT - 29x2.40"

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 DownHill (DH) puncture protection
• Wide Trail (WT) construction adapted to wide rims

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 | Among Maxxis' Triple Compounds (3C), MaxxGrip is the reference for Downhill sports. The combination of excellent damping and grip properties guarantees top performance on the descent and provides traction that is second to none.

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) | 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.

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.

Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
