Maxxis Minion DHX is a modern gravity-focused MTB tire built for riders who want the predictable braking of a Minion-style tread with added support and a calmer, more controlled transition into cornering. In this 29 x 2.5 configuration with 3C MaxxTerra rubber and EXO+ protection, it targets aggressive trail and enduro riding—including lighter-duty e-MTB use—where speed stays high and loads stay heavy.
Key reasons riders choose the DHX for fast trail, enduro, and e-MTB setups
3C MaxxTerra compound - Balances dependable grip with improved wear and rolling characteristics for everyday aggressive riding, not just race-day softness
Stable braking with a smoother cornering transition - Delivers comparable rolling speed and braking power to a DHR II-style feel, while reducing the “step” as the tire loads into the side knobs
EXO+ puncture protection - Adds a meaningful layer of cut and pinch resistance for rock and root impacts without the weight and dead feel of full downhill-only casings
E-50 e-bike rated - Approved for the higher loads and speeds associated with e-MTB use up to the E-50 category
Front or rear versatility - A practical choice for riders who want one tread that can be tuned by placement: predictable steering feel up front or supportive braking traction out back
