Maxxis tyre MINION DHR II 27.5x2.4 WT 3CG DD TR folding (black)

Increased acceleration, cornering support and improved braking performance. The side knobs are similar to those on the legendary Minion DHF, but their characteristics are improved for use on the rear tyre. The centre tread has many edges and angled knobs to roll quickly yet provide maximum braking performance. Pair the Minion DHR II with a DHF at the front and you get the ideal pair for aggressive trail riding. The trail version of the downhill tyre is built on a lighter single-ply casing

TR (Tubeless Ready) – tubeless is the law!

Todays world is extremely favourable to tubeless systems using sealant. Maxxis TR tyres fully match this trend. On the one hand they are considerably lighter than the previously used LUST (Light UST) variants, yet their construction and bead shape perfectly meet the needs of tubeless setups. Tubeless tyres can be run at lower pressure, which increases the contact patch and the treads ability to follow the terrain, while removing the risk of a pinch puncture, i.e. damage to the tube. Last but not least, weight is saved, and without a separate tube the friction inside the wheel is reduced too.

EXO Protection

In the world of trail and all-mountain fun, riders often move over rocks and among other sharp obstacles, so appropriate sidewall protection must be kept in mind. The EXO Protection solution uses an additional layer of extra-durable material that protects the tyre around its entire circumference, especially against abrasion and cuts. This material is also highly flexible, so ride characteristics are not affected – only the weight increases slightly.

Dual, Single and 3C compounds

It all starts with the basic variant labelled Single, meaning one compound for the whole tread, which however does not occur on Maxxis sport tyres. The starting point is the more advanced Dual compound, which uses rubber of two hardnesses. Specifically a firmer centre and inner structure of the tyre guaranteeing stability and low rolling resistance, plus softer sides and a surface layer for maximum grip when biting and in corners.
