Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C MaxxGrip DH MTB Tire

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo! The Minion DHF is available in trail, enduro, and downhill specs.

3C MaxxGrip

Maxxis' 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

• 3C MaxxGrip + EXO casing = Light duty trail riding in wet/slick conditions
• 3C MaxxGrip + EXO+ casing = All-around trail riding in wet/slick conditions
• 3C MaxxGrip + DoubleDown casing = Enduro racing and e-bikes
• 3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes

Downhill (DH)

As the name implies, Maxxis' Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications from downhill racing to bike park riding to free riding to long travel e-bikes. A Maxxis Downhill tire is made with two layers of our durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall. The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.
