With a generous 2.6-inch width, the Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C/EXO/TR tire offers excellent traction and a plush, bump-smooth feel when ripping down descents at high speeds, traversing boulder-strewn trail sections, or pedaling over uneven forest routes. This particular DHR II retains the bar-rear side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but they're specifically designed for better support when leaning into corners at high speeds under heavy braking. They're not as bulky as proper plus-size tires—namely, 2.8- and 3.0-inch tires. The 3C MaxxTerra compound features soft shoulder knobs and a medium-density center that's relatively quick to rip down trails while also gripping like crazy when leaning into corners and hitting berms at higher speeds. The medium-density center section features a slightly firmer rubber, meaning you'll get a long ride out of the upper layer of rubber. This triple-density rubber compound offers more grip than the 3C MaxxSpeed used on cross-country bikes, and is slightly faster and longer-lasting than the softest 3C MaxxGrip compound, primarily used for downhill applications. With EXO sidewall protection, you won't have to worry about sidewall tears or slits when blasting through slabs or riding over sharp rocks and rough terrain. Maxxis tires are tubeless-ready, so you can seal the tire and get the many benefits of traction, bump compliance, and support at lower tire pressures.
