Minion DHX 27.5" Tire - 3C MaxxGrip, New DH, E-50

Maxxis Minion DHX 27.5" is a modern downhill race tire built for high speeds, heavy cornering loads, and hard braking on today’s steeper, rougher tracks. With the sticky 3C MaxxGrip rubber and the updated New DH Casing, it targets riders who want a more planted feel, more support at low pressures, and predictable handling when the trail is moving fast.

• 3C MaxxGrip compound - Maxxis’ slow-rebound, high-traction rubber for maximizing grip on roots, rocks, and loose-over-hard surfaces
• New DH Casing (dual-ply) - Increased puncture protection and durability with improved compliance to track chattery rocks and roots while staying supported in high-load corners
• Progressive casing stiffness - Tuned to feel more damped and controlled under impacts; supports running lower pressures (2–3 psi less than the previous-gen DH casing) for added traction and stability
• Stability-focused tread layout - Comparable rolling speed and braking power to the DHR II, with a smoother, more intuitive transition into the cornering knobs
• Reinforced side knob support + low-depth sipes - Helps reduce knob fold in aggressive cornering while still conforming to irregular trail surfaces for consistent bite
• Front/rear versatility - Predictable handling characteristics make it a practical choice for DH setups where riders want one tread that can be run either end
• E-50 rated - Spec’d for e-bike use while keeping the support and control the Minion DHX is known for
