MAXXIS Minion DHR II 27.5 | 650B x 2.40 WT 3C MaxxTerra TR Double Down tires
Are you ready for the next descent...
Contrary to the sounding name, it's not a ride on a cannonball - with its completely new tread design, the Minion DHR II is the ideal tire for aggressive gravity rides. With the side lugs of the legendary DHF, which have been slightly widened for even more cornering grip, it has super traction. The center lugs are beveled for better acceleration and braking. Thanks to the cut profile in the longitudinal direction, turning into high-speed corners is child's play.
Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have too angular a shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 40 mm.
Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. The bead of our TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless mounting is successful on all rims with standard dimensions right from the first inflation and with little liquid. Like tires from other manufacturers, "normal" MAXXIS MTB tires can also be mounted tubeless with sealant, as the carcass fabric is very tight. However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless mounting and guaranteed by MAXXIS. Tubeless mounting of other models is at your own risk.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of sealant containing ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months, depending on the amount used.
Double Down
Doubledown tires are constructed like downhill tires: two carcass plies reinforced with a butyl insert in the sidewall. However, thanks to two 120 TPI (instead of 60 TPI) carcass plies and aramid bead, they are lighter than downhill tires, significantly more stable and robust than TR + EXO tires and therefore ideal for tough enduro courses.
3C MaxxTerra
3C MaxxTerra is the optimum three-ply rubber compound for our Enduro and Freeride tires. This compound is characterized by smooth uphill performance and excellent downhill grip as well as a long service life.
