Maxxis Minion DHF Downhill MTB Tire 29×2.5 Tubeless Folding WT

Minion DHF 29×2.5 Tubeless Ready Clincher Tire: Dominating Loose and Muddy Terrain

When it comes to conquering steep descents and technical trails, the Minion DHF Tire sets the standard for downhill and aggressive mountain biking. Engineered for riders who demand precision in sloppy conditions, this tire excels where others slip—whether navigating loose scree, wet mud, or unpredictable “loose-over-hard” surfaces. Its design balances speed and grip seamlessly, making it a go-to choice for enduro racers and gravity-focused riders tackling rugged terrains.

Key Features:
– Directional Tread Pattern: Ramped center lugs slice through loose debris while maintaining low rolling resistance, ensuring swift acceleration and sustained momentum on long descents.
– Channel-Cut Side Knobs: The iconic Minion side tread digs deep into corners, providing unmatched traction on slick roots or wet rocks—ideal for carving through tight switchbacks with confidence.
– Reinforced Sidewall Protection: Built-in flat resistance guards against sharp rocks and rough impacts without adding bulk, keeping the tire lightweight at 1030g yet durable enough for high-speed abuse.

Why Choose the Minion DHF?
Compared to competitors like the Maxxis Minion DHR II or Schwalbe Magic Mary, the DHF prioritizes cornering grip over outright durability, making it perfect for riders who prioritize handling in loose conditions. Its 60 TPI casing offers a supple ride while remaining tubeless-ready for enhanced sealing and lower PSI (50 recommended), which improves traction on uneven surfaces.
