Maxxis Minion DHF Tire – 29 × 2.5 | 3C MaxxGrip · DoubleDown · Tubeless Ready · Wide Trail
The Maxxis Minion DHF 29 × 2.5 is one of the most widely trusted front tires for aggressive trail, enduro, and gravity riding, known for its predictable handling, braking control, and cornering confidence.
The DHF tread uses ramped center knobs to reduce rolling resistance while maintaining strong straight-line control. Channel-cut knobs increase the number of biting edges, improving traction during hard braking and precise cornering on loose, rocky, or high-speed terrain.
This version features 3C MaxxGrip (3CG) rubber, Maxxis’ softest compound, delivering exceptional traction and slow rebound characteristics for maximum control on technical descents and wet or slippery surfaces.
Casing durability comes from DoubleDown (DD) construction, which uses two full 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert. This creates a structure that sits between EXO+ and full downhill casings—offering excellent impact resistance, stability at lower pressures, and reduced risk of pinch flats without the full weight of a DH casing.
The Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for rims with 35 mm internal width or greater, ensuring proper tire shape and consistent grip. The tire is tubeless ready and requires sealant for use.
