The Maxxis Minion DHR II in 27.5 x 2.50 is a purpose-built rear MTB tire for riders who want confident braking control and predictable cornering on aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill terrain. With side knobs inspired by the Minion DHF (widened for added support) and a braking-focused center tread, the DHR II stays composed when speeds rise and trail surfaces get loose.
DHF-derived, widened side knobs - Delivers strong cornering support and traction when the bike is leaned over
Ramped center tread with sipes - Improves acceleration and creates a smoother, more controllable transition as the tire is rolled onto edge
Paddle-style center knobs - Bites under hard braking for better speed control on steep or choppy descents
DoubleDown (DD) casing - Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing plus a butyl sidewall insert for a durable build with more trail feedback than a full Downhill casing
MaxxTerra triple compound - Balances grip with durability while maintaining solid tread wear and rolling resistance characteristics
Rear-specific performance focus - Designed for Trail/Enduro/Downhill use and optimized for rear-wheel drive and braking traction
For a proven aggressive setup, the Minion DHR II is commonly paired with a Maxxis Minion DHF up front for complementary front/rear traction across a wide range of trail conditions.
