With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, its no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tyres in mountain biking. Whether riding local trails, a backcountry epic, racing enduro or World Cup downhill, theres a Minion DHF spec to meet your needs.

Category: Trail, Enduro, Downhill

Recommended use: All trail conditions

Recommended installation: Front

Wide Trail

Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyres tread layout and profile on todays modern, wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimised for a 35 mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35 mm inner rim widths, depending on the riders preference.

Maxxis Wide Trail XC tyres are optimised for use with rims of 30 mm internal width, but they will perform well on rims as narrow as 25 mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30 mm or narrower than 25 mm

3C MaxxTerra

Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple-compound configuration used across our mountain tyre line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

EXO+

EXO+ is Maxxis medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tyre from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless ready tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction, lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre, and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tyres are denoted by the letters "TR" on the sidewall.

Tubeless ready tyres must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.

Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.
