Maxxis Minion DHR II Tire – 29 × 2.4 | 3C MaxxGrip · 2-Ply · Tubeless Ready · Wide Trail
The Maxxis Minion DHR II 29 × 2.4 is a rear-specific gravity tire engineered for downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail riding, where braking traction, cornering control, and casing stability are critical.
The tread features a ramped, dual-block center pattern that improves rolling efficiency while maintaining exceptional braking traction. Wide, reinforced side knobs provide strong cornering support and predictable grip when pushing hard through berms, rock gardens, and steep terrain.
This version uses 3C MaxxGrip rubber, Maxxis’ softest compound, delivering maximum traction and slow rebound characteristics for unparalleled control in technical and high-speed downhill conditions. The tire is built on a 2-Ply downhill casing, using two full 60 TPI layers with reinforced sidewalls for superior impact resistance, stability, and pinch-flat protection.
Designed around modern wide rims, the Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for rims with 35 mm internal width or greater, ensuring proper tire shape, consistent contact patch, and confident handling at lower pressures. The tire is tubeless ready, requiring sealant for use.
