Maxxis Minion DHR II WT MaxxTerra TR Downhill Casing E50

Contrary to the catchy name, it's not a ride on a cannonball - with its completely new tread design, the Minion DHR II is the ideal tyre for aggressive gravity rides.
With the side lugs of the legendary DHF, which have been slightly widened for even more cornering hold, it has great traction there. The center knobs are beveled to allow better acceleration and braking. The cut profile in the longitudinal direction makes turning into high-speed curves child's play.


Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tyre 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 tyres are optimized for an internal rim width 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 installation with sealant than other "tubeless ready" tyres. The bead of the Maxxis TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, just like a real UST tubeless 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.

Dual ply casing
Two gathered layers of fabric are wrapped around bead cores. This results in an extremely stable and safe carcass, which is particularly important when going downhill. There are four layers on the side walls and even six layers on the treads.

3C MaxxTerra
3C MaxxTerra is the optimal three-layer rubber compound for our enduro and freeride tires. Ease of movement uphill and the best grip downhill characterize this mixture as well as a long service life.

E-Bike Ready | E50
Maxxis tyres with the e-bike logo meet and exceed the requirements of the ECE-R75 standard and are ideally suited for use on fast e-bikes.
