Maxxis Minion DHR II EXO TR 29x2.3in tyre


AS YOU'D EXPECT from the chunky centre tread blocks and aggressive shoulders, the Minion DHR II is most at home being ridden aggressively and particularly shines on steep, loose tracks. Scream into a dusty chute at speed and you'll be surprised by just how much you can get the DHR II to bite in when you pull on the brakes.

It's not the fastest rolling rear tyre or the lightest at 880g, but any sluggishness on the flat is soon forgotten thanks to the predictable grip on tap when you start descending. The EXO sidewall protection takes rough rock sections in its stride, and we had no issues with getting the Minion inflated tubeless or burping air when really riding hard at low pressures.

PRICE 60$
