Minion DHR II Tire - 27.5 x 2.50, MaxxTerra, DH

Maxxis Minion DHR II in 27.5 x 2.50 with MaxxTerra compound and Downhill (DH) casing is a rear-focused gravity tire built for riders who prioritize cornering support and controlled braking on aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill terrain.

Borrowing the proven side knob shape from the Minion DHF and widening it for added support, the DHR II delivers a predictable edge when the bike is leaned over. A ramped, siped center tread helps it pick up speed efficiently while keeping transitions smooth, and the paddle-style braking knobs bite hard when it’s time to scrub speed and stay composed in steep, rough sections.

Trail-to-DH advantages that matter on the ride

• Widened Minion side knobs - Stronger cornering support and confidence when pushing the bike into berms and off-camber turns
• Ramped, siped center tread - Faster rolling feel with a smoother, more controllable transition as the tire is leaned
• Paddle-style braking knobs - Increased braking traction for better speed control on steep and loose descents
• MaxxTerra triple-compound rubber - Balanced grip and durability with dependable tread wear and controlled rolling resistance
• Downhill casing construction - Dual-layer 60 TPI casing plus a large butyl insert from bead into the sidewall for added stability and protection in high-impact gravity use
• Rear-optimized pairing - Designed for rear installation; pairs naturally with a Minion DHF up front for a proven aggressive trail/enduro/DH setup
