Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5x2.60 : a versatile mountain bike tire for technical terrain

A tubeless-ready rear mountain bike tire designed for trail and enduro riding.

The Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5x2.60 3C MaxxTerra EXO Tubeless Ready mountain bike tire is designed for rear mounting in Trail and Enduro riding. Its side knobs, derived from those of the Minion DHF and widened to provide more support, assist with cornering on technical terrain.

The central tread combines ramped leading edges to facilitate acceleration, sipes ensuring a gradual transition to the lateral studs, and paddle-shaped blocks that compress under heavy braking stress.

This version combines the 3C MaxxTerra compound, a 120 TPI casing, EXO sidewall protection, and Tubeless Ready mounting. Its 2.60-inch width provides ample volume for compatible bikes and rims.

Minion DHR II rear profile

The Minion DHR II's design is primarily focused on traction, braking control, and cornering support. Maxxis recommends pairing it with a Minion DHF on the front for a setup designed for aggressive trail and enduro riding.

3C MaxxTerra Compound

The 3C MaxxTerra uses an intermediate compound. It is softer and offers more traction than the 3C MaxxSpeed, while maintaining better wear resistance and lower rolling resistance than the 3C MaxxGrip.

EXO Protection

The EXO protection is made of a dense, flexible fabric that is cut and abrasion resistant. Positioned on the sides, it is suitable for rocky trails where lateral contact with obstacles is frequent.

120 TPI Carcass

The 120 threads per inch casing uses numerous thin threads to accommodate the tire's deformations over uneven terrain.

Tubeless Ready

The tire can be used tubeless with a compatible rim, rim tape, valve, and sealant. This setup allows you to adjust the pressure to the terrain within the maximum indicated limit.
