Maxxis Minion DHR II Tire

This tire is specifically designed as a rear-wheel option. Its tread pattern is optimized for braking traction and acceleration, making it the perfect partner for a front-specific tire like the Maxxis Minion DHF.

The Minion DHR II is optimized for modern, wider rims. It performs best on rims with an internal width between 30 mm and 35 mm, which helps support the casing and improves stability during hard cornering.

Yes, it features Maxxis's EXO protection. This is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls, providing extra durability for aggressive trail and enduro riding without adding excessive weight.

Absolutely. This tire is Tubeless Ready (TLR), meaning it is designed to be set up without an inner tube when paired with tubeless-compatible rims and sealant. This allows you to run lower tire pressures for better grip and comfort on rough terrain.

The 3C Maxx Terra compound uses three different rubber compounds in the tread. It is softer and offers more traction than standard dual-compound tires, but it is more durable and rolls faster than the ultra-soft MaxxGrip compound, making it a versatile choice for trail and enduro riding.

While you can technically mount it on any compatible bike, the Minion DHR II is built for aggressive trail and enduro riding. It is heavier and has more rolling resistance than a dedicated cross-country tire, so it is best suited for technical descents rather than pure speed on smooth trails.
