The Maxxis Minion DHR II Downhill is built for riders pushing hard on the toughest descents. Featuring the proven DHR II tread pattern combined with a robust downhill casing, it delivers exceptional braking traction, confident cornering, and precise control across loose, rocky, and technical terrain. It is 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, providing increased cornering support and predictable grip. Paddle-shaped centre knobs maximise braking traction and climbing control, while ramped and siped tread blocks improve rolling efficiency without sacrificing stability under heavy braking.
The premium 3C MaxxTerra compound provides an ideal balance of grip, durability, and rolling speed, while the Downhill (DH) casing incorporates butyl inserts to increase pinch-flat resistance, protect the rim from hard impacts, and improve sidewall stability. Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tread profile for modern wide rims, and Tubeless Ready compatibility allows lower tyre pressures for maximum traction and control. The E-50 rating also makes it suitable for compatible electric mountain bikes.
