Product Description
The Maxxis Minion DHR II Downhill Tyre is built for hard braking, high cornering loads and demanding downhill terrain. Its new downhill casing improves compliance over rough ground while adding support around the tyre and rim. The 3C MaxxGrip compound provides strong traction, while the revised tread controls braking and cornering on steep, technical trails.Key Features and Benefits:New downhill casing: The progressive casing changes stiffness across the tyre to balance ground compliance with sidewall support. It absorbs repeated impacts from rocks and roots while holding its shape under hard cornering forces. This gives the tyre a more settled feel, reduces rider fatigue and improves protection against punctures and rim damage.Lower pressure capability: The new casing allows pressures around 2-3psi lower than the previous Maxxis downhill casing without losing sidewall stability. The larger contact patch helps the tread follow uneven ground instead of bouncing across it. This improves traction, slows tyre rebound and gives the bike a more controlled feel through rough sections.3C MaxxGrip compound: Three rubber compounds are placed in key areas of the tread to balance support, grip and wear. The soft outer rubber conforms to the trail and rebounds slowly after an impact. This helps the tyre maintain contact on loose soil, wet roots and exposed rock when braking or changing direction.Wider shoulder knobs: The side knobs are based on the Maxxis Minion DHF pattern but use a wider shape for added support. Their larger base limits tread movement when the bike is leaned into a turn. This provides a stable edge, clearer feedback and more dependable cornering grip under heavy loads.Paddle-shaped centre tread: The centre knobs use broad braking edges that press into loose or soft ground when the rear brake is applied. Their shape increases resistance against forward movement without making the tyre feel vague. This gives greater speed control on steep descents and helps the rear wheel track more predictably under braking.Tubeless Ready construction: The tyre can be fitted to a compatible tubeless rim with an approved liquid sealant. Removing the inner tube lowers the risk of pinch flats and allows lower pressures to be used. This improves traction and comfort while reducing rolling resistance compared with a standard tube setup.The Minion DHR II is designed to keep the rear wheel controlled when the trail places heavy demands on the tyre. Its supportive casing helps prevent tyre roll, while the slow-rebound compound keeps the tread in contact with broken ground. The braking tread then provides the grip needed to manage speed without sacrificing a stable line.Choose the Maxxis Minion DHR II Downhill Tyre for a rear tyre that combines strong braking control, supported cornering and dependable impact protection. It is a practical option for downhill bikes used on steep, rough and technical trails.
