The Maxxis Minion DHR II Downhill is built for riders who demand maximum braking traction, cornering confidence, and durability on the toughest descents. Combining the proven DHR II tread pattern with a robust downhill casing, it delivers exceptional control across loose, rocky, and technical terrain, making it the ideal rear tyre for downhill racing, bike park laps, and aggressive gravity riding.
Its redesigned tread features wider shoulder knobs inspired by the legendary Minion DHF for increased cornering support, while paddle-shaped centre knobs maximise braking traction and climbing grip. Ramped and siped tread blocks improve rolling efficiency while maintaining precise handling under heavy braking.
The premium 3C MaxxTerra compound balances grip, durability, and rolling efficiency, while the Downhill (DH) casing incorporates butyl sidewall inserts to improve pinch-flat resistance, protect the rim from heavy impacts, and increase sidewall stability. Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tread profile for modern wide rims, while Tubeless Ready compatibility allows lower tyre pressures for maximum grip and control. The E-50 rating also makes it suitable for compatible electric mountain bikes.
