Maxxis Minion DHR II: Dominate Slippery Trails with Unshakable Grip

When loose dirt turns to mud soup and hardpack hides beneath shifting terrain, confidence is everything. The Minion DHR II is engineered for riders who demand unwavering traction and aggressive cornering control precisely when trail conditions deteriorate. This isn’t just a tire; it’s your anchor point for conquering steep, technical downhill runs and challenging mountain terrain where others falter.

Engineered for Mud & Loose Over Hard Chaos:
* Centerline Dominance: Strategically ramped, paddle-shaped center knobs bite deep into loose soil and mud, delivering exceptional climbing traction and powerful, predictable braking force to keep you in command on steep inclines and sketchy descents.
* Cornering Confidence Redefined: Minion’s signature channel-cut side knobs act like interlocking cornering blocks. They dig in aggressively during hard leans, providing unparalleled sideways grip that prevents washouts on off-camber roots, wet rocks, and loose berms – essential for downhill racing and aggressive enduro riding.
* Optimized Aggression: Specifically designed to excel in loose conditions, loose-over-hardpack, and medium terrain, offering downhill and freeride mountain bikers the ultimate performance edge where maximum traction is non-negotiable.

Built Tough for Demanding Rides:
* Tubeless Ready (TR) Design: Achieve lower pressures for enhanced grip without pinch flat worries. Experience a smoother ride and superior puncture resistance inherent in the robust tread and reinforced sidewall construction.
* Lightweight & Responsive: At just 969g (for the 27.5×2.6″ folding bead), it delivers aggressive capability without excessive rotational weight, aiding acceleration and handling precision.
* High-Performance Construction: 120 TPI casing balances suppleness for grip with durability for rugged downhill abuse.
