Minion DHX Tire - 29 x 2.5, 3C MaxxGrip, DD

Maxxis Minion DHX in 29 x 2.5 with 3C MaxxGrip and DoubleDown (DD) casing is built for riders who need a more supported, more controlled tire when speeds rise and impacts get bigger. The DHX tread bridges the gap between predictable rolling and hard braking traction, with a smoother, more confidence-inspiring transition into the cornering knobs than many full-on braking-focused rear tires.

Dialed advantages for aggressive trail, enduro, and DH use

1. 3C MaxxGrip compound - prioritizes traction and damping for secure cornering and braking on steep, high-speed tracks where grip matters more than low rolling resistance
2. 3C triple-compound construction - uses a firmer base layer with progressively softer top layers to help maintain knob stability while still delivering bite where the tire meets the ground
3. Minion DHX tread layout - delivers comparable rolling speed and braking power to a DHR II-style feel, with increased stability and a smoother transition into the side knobs for more intuitive lean-angle control
4. DoubleDown casing (dual-layer 120 TPI + butyl insert) - adds sidewall protection and support to reduce squirm in berms and compressions while improving reliability in rock-heavy terrain
5. Front or rear versatility - a strong choice for riders who want one aggressive 29er tire spec that can be tuned by position and pressure, without unpredictable handling traits
