Maxxis Minion DHR II in 27.5 x 2.60 is a proven aggressive rear tire choice for riders who want confident cornering and controlled braking on modern trail, enduro, and downhill terrain. Borrowing the Minion’s signature cornering shape, the Minion DHR II uses supported side knobs for a planted feel when pushed hard, while the ramped center tread helps keep rolling speed up without giving away climbing or braking traction. With MaxxTerra compound and an EXO casing, this version balances grip, durability, and sidewall protection for demanding riding conditions.
27.5 x 2.60 footprint - extra volume for added support and traction on rough, fast trails
DHF-derived, widened side knobs - strong cornering support and predictable bite when loading the tire in turns
Channel-cut side knobs - improved edge engagement for consistent cornering traction
Ramped center tread - faster rolling feel and improved acceleration compared to square-edged blocks
Paddle-style braking knobs - digs in under hard braking to keep the rear wheel controlled on steep or loose descents
MaxxTerra triple compound - tuned for durability while maintaining grip, with solid tread wear and rolling resistance characteristics
EXO casing - added sidewall cut and abrasion resistance while staying lightweight and compliant
Often paired with a Maxxis Minion DHF up front for a balanced, aggressive trail tire setup with confident front-end steering and rear-wheel braking control.
