📖 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Maxxis Minion DHR II tire is the ultimate standard for riders demanding total rear-wheel control on aggressive gravity and trail rides.

Tread Pattern and Braking Control

Featuring wide, ramped center knobs, the Minion DHR II bites into terrain under heavy braking, helping you hold your line across rocks, roots, and loose soil. The shoulder knobs—borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF—provide progressive cornering and solid lateral support that instills total confidence.

2.60" WT (Wide Trail) Profile

The generous 2.60-inch width provides high air volume to absorb trail chatter and increase the tire's contact patch. The WT (Wide Trail) casing construction optimizes the tire's tread layout for modern wide rims (30 mm to 35 mm inner rim width), preventing the tire from rounding out or squaring off unnaturally.

🔬 COMPOUND & TECHNOLOGIES (MaxxTerra, EXO+, TR, 60 TPI)

• MaxxTerra Compound: An intermediate compound configuration engineered to deliver exceptional grip and traction in turns and under braking, while maintaining excellent rolling efficiency and tread durability for Trail and Enduro use.

• Updated EXO+ Protection: The redesigned EXO+ casing incorporates a SilkShield layer from bead to bead, combined with the classic cut-resistant EXO sidewall layer and a rubber insert above the bead. This provides outstanding pinch-flat and sidewall slash resistance, making it perfect for demanding E-MTB and Enduro riding.

• Tubeless Ready (TR): Allows for a tubeless setup using liquid sealant. Reduces rolling resistance, improves puncture protection, and enables lower operating tire pressures.

• 60 TPI Casing: A robust, durable casing that provides the structural stiffness needed to support aggressive riding styles and the extra weight of electric mountain bikes.

🌲 RIDING & FITMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Recommended Position: Designed as the ultimate rear tire, paired with a Minion DHF or Assegai up front. It can also be run up front for riders seeking extreme braking performance in loose or wet conditions.

• Ideal Terrain: Loose over hard, light mud, rocky trails, wet/dry roots, and bike park tracks.

• Bike Compatibility: Enduro, All-Mountain, Trail bikes, and especially E-MTBs (E-Bikes) requiring high traction and rear pinch-flat protection.
