Minion DHR II Tire - 29 x 2.40, MaxxTerra, EXO

Maxxis Minion DHR II Tire in 29 x 2.40 with MaxxTerra compound and EXO sidewall protection is a rear-focused mountain bike tire built for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding where braking traction and cornering support matter most. Borrowing the proven side knob shape from the Minion DHF (with added width for support), the DHR II delivers confident lean-in grip with a predictable transition from center tread to shoulder knobs.

On the center tread, ramped leading edges help keep acceleration and rolling speed more efficient for a tire in this category, while the paddle-style knobs bite hard under braking to keep speed controlled on steep or loose descents. For a classic aggressive setup, it pairs naturally with a Minion DHF up front.

• Rear-specific traction focus - paddle-shaped center knobs dig in under hard braking to help keep the bike composed on steep, loose, or blown-out descents
• Supported cornering knobs - widened Minion-style side knobs deliver a more stable feel when pushing into berms and off-camber turns
• Ramped center tread - improves acceleration feel and helps reduce drag compared to square-edged knobs, without giving up climbing and braking bite
• Siped tread blocks - promotes a smoother, more controlled transition as the bike is leaned over
• EXO sidewall protection - adds cut and abrasion resistance on the sidewalls while staying lightweight and flexible for trail and enduro use
• MaxxTerra triple compound - balances grip with durability for strong tread life and controlled rolling resistance across mixed trail conditions
