The Maxxis Minion DHR II is a rear tire with wide side knobs for cornering support and paddle shaped center knobs for braking. This version is 29 x 2.4 with MaxxTerra rubber and the EXO+ casing.

What it's for

Maxxis took the side knobs from the Minion DHF and widened them for more support in corners. The center tread has ramped leading edges to help acceleration and sipes that smooth the move from upright to leaned over. Paddle shaped center knobs dig in under hard braking. Maxxis lists it for trail, enduro and downhill in all trail conditions, on the rear wheel.

How it works

MaxxTerra: Maxxis's intermediate compound. It gives more traction than MaxxSpeed, with longer tread wear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, for all conditions trail riding.

EXO+: Medium duty protection. It combines a 60 TPI casing, the EXO layer in the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the bead to guard against rock damage and pinch flats.

Tubeless Ready (TR): Runs without a tube on a tubeless compatible rim with liquid sealant. That lets you use lower pressure for grip and reduces flats.
