Maxxis DHR 2 Double Down Maxx Grip

With a completely new profile design, the Minion DHR II is the ideal tyre for aggressive gravity driving. With the side lugs of the legendary DHF, which have been slightly widened for even better cornering support, it has extreme cornering support. The center lugs have beveled lugs for better acceleration. Notches on the lugs improve the transition when turning into corners. Part of the center knobs have a paddle shape, they dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.

Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tyres are developed for narrow rims and get a too square shape on wide rims and thus a less than optimal performance. WT tiyes are optimized for an internal rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an internal dimension between 30 and 40 mm.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
tube tyres have many advantages: You can drive with less air pressure. This gives better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no tube , the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tyres are better prepared for mounting with sealant than other tubeless ready tyres. The bead of the TR tyres is completely covered with a rubber layer like a real UST tube. As a result, tube installation is successful for all rims with standard dimensions the first time you pump it up and with little liquid. Normal MAXXIS MTB tyres can also be mounted tubeless with sealant like tyres from other manufacturers, as the carcass fabric is very dense.
However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless assembly and guaranteed by MAXXIS. The tubeless assembly of other models is at your own risk.

Note: We strongly advise against the use of sealant containing ammonia. Ammonia has been shown to attack the carcass and, depending on the amount used, can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months.

double down
Doubledown tyres are constructed like downhill tyres: two carcass layers reinforced with a butyl insert in the sidewall. However, thanks to two 120 TPI (instead of 60 TPI) carcass layers and an aramid bead, they are lighter than downhill tires, significantly more stable and robust than TR + EXO tires and therefore ideal for hard enduro courses.

3C MaxxGrip
The well-known 3C downhill compound, which many of the best downhillers have trusted for years, is now called 3C MaxxGrip. 3C MaxxGrip offers the ultimate grip and the best damping properties for incomparable traction on downhills thanks to three different rubber compounds. The base layer ensures low rolling resistance and stability of the profile lugs. The compound in the center of the tread provides the best grip on any surface, while the extremely dampened compound on the shoulder lugs provides the best possible cornering grip.
