Maxxis Minion DHR II

4.7

Best high performance rear tire for aggressive mountain bike trail riders.

This is the gold standard for riders who prioritize aggressive braking and cornering control over pure rolling speed. While the heavy tread pattern creates noticeable drag on climbs, the trade-off is unmatched confidence when you point your bike down steep, loose, or technical terrain.
