Ride bolder, stay in the line
Push harder into a berm. Brake later and still steer out clean. The Maxxis Minion DHR II trail tyre gives you that planted, confident feel. It hooks up where it counts and rolls true when you ask it to. For riders who want grip without a heavy penalty, this tyre lets you explore steeper, looser lines with more control.
Why it helps on the trail
Cornering feels firm and predictable. Wider shoulder knobs lock the tyre into the turn. Paddle-like centre knobs bite under braking so you stop where you expect. The tread still rolls smoothly thanks to ramped, siped lugs. The result: you ride faster, safer, and with more confidence.
How it performs
Short, sharp feedback under your feet. A tyre that corners like a downhill tyre but weighs less. It tracks straight under hard braking and resists deflection in loose rock and dirt. You’ll hear the subtle chatter when pushing hard, and you’ll feel how it holds through the exit.
Construction and protection
3C MaxxTerra gives a balance of traction and tread life. EXO+ combines SilkShield and EXO for tougher tread and sidewalls. That means fewer punctures and better resistance to pinch flats so you can stay on the trail longer.
Tubeless notes
This tyre is Tubeless Ready. Running lower pressures boosts traction and lowers rolling resistance. Use liquid sealant only in Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready tyres. Using sealant in other Maxxis tyres will void the warranty.
