The trail version of the Maxxis Minion DHR II features the same tread pattern as its downhill counterpart, but uses a single-ply casing to reduce weight.
With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. Redesigned, wider shoulder knobs for better cornering, paddle-like centre knobs for improved braking, ramped and siped tread to roll fast and track straight under braking.
DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tyre casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tyre, but in a lighter package.
Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. 3C Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration that is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than 3C Maxx Grip.
Foldable beads keep the tyre secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily transported. The bead is made of spun aramid or Kevlar® fibres.
Tubeless 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 since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty.
