Minion DHR II Dual Compound/EXO/TR 29in Tire

Over the years, the Maxxis Minion DH tire has eared a reputation as one of the best DH/freeride tires on the market. This is mostly due to its extremely aggressive tread pattern. The new Minion DHR II retains the original’s aggressive tread pattern, but with a few tweaks.

The new DHR borrows shoulder lugs from the DHF, which gives it a slightly wider stance than the original DHR. The center lugs, which were once completely separated, are now nearly joined for a bit of a paddle effect. Together these improvements mean better cornering and better braking, especially in loose conditions.

The tires super-tough construction remains the same, with a 60TPI casing and EXO sidewall protection technology to prevent both abrasion and pinch-flats.
