Minion DHR II Tire - 27.5 x 2.8, MaxxTerra, EXO+

Maxxis Minion DHR II in 27.5 x 2.8 is a rear-focused aggressive trail tire built for riders who prioritize confident cornering and controlled braking on real-world terrain. Drawing its supported side-knob shape from the Minion DHF family, the DHR II delivers predictable lean-in behavior, while its paddle-style center tread bites hard under braking and on punchy climbs. The MaxxTerra triple-compound rubber balances grip with durability for high-mileage trail and enduro use, and the EXO+ casing adds practical puncture protection without the bulk of full downhill casings.

• Rear-specific tread design - Paddle-like center knobs dig in for strong braking traction and better control when speeds rise
• Ramped center knobs with siping - Smoother rolling and improved acceleration feel, with more consistent transitions as the bike is leaned over
• Minion-derived side knobs - Supported cornering edges deliver trustworthy bite through berms, off-cambers, and loose-over-hard conditions
• MaxxTerra triple compound - Tuned for grip while maintaining solid tread wear and rolling resistance for aggressive trail and enduro riding
• EXO+ puncture protection - Medium-duty sidewall and casing reinforcement suited to all-around trail riding and light-weight e-bikes
• 27.5 x 2.8 volume - Added footprint and compliance for traction and stability on mixed trail surfaces

Pairing this tire on the rear with a Maxxis Minion DHF up front is a common setup for riders looking for a predictable, hard-charging trail/enduro combination.
