The Maxxis Minion DHR II is a rear-focused 29er mountain bike tire built for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding where braking control and cornering support matter most. In 29 x 2.50 with MaxxTerra compound and DoubleDown (DD) casing, it’s a go-to choice for riders who push hard on steeps, brake late, and want a tire that holds a line without feeling vague.
The tread design blends fast-rolling ramped center knobs with paddle-shaped braking edges that bite under load, while the widened Minion-style side knobs deliver a predictable transition as the bike is leaned over. For a proven aggressive setup, it pairs naturally with a Maxxis Minion DHF on the front for balanced cornering grip and braking traction.
Rear-specific traction profile - Paddle-shaped center knobs dig in under hard braking and stay composed on steep, loose, or rough descents
Confident cornering support - Widened Minion side knobs and signature channel-cut shaping improve edge hold and stability when pushing turns
Faster rolling under power - Ramped leading edges help acceleration and reduce drag without giving up climbing and braking bite
MaxxTerra triple compound - Balanced grip, tread life, and rolling resistance for aggressive trail and enduro use
DoubleDown (DD) casing - Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing material plus a butyl sidewall insert for added durability and support with more trail feedback than full DH casing
All-conditions versatility - Tuned for trail, enduro, and downhill use across a wide range of trail conditions
