Maxxis Minion Dhf 29" Tyre

The Maxxis Minion DHF is a benchmark tyre for aggressive trail and downhill riding, offering exceptional grip, stability, and reliability in loose, steep, and challenge-rich conditions. Its iconic tread design and range of construction options make it a top choice for demanding off-road riders.

Why It Excels

• Dedicated Trail Design
  Engineered for loose and muddy terrain, the DHF incorporates ramped knobs for efficient straight-line speed and channel-cut knobs to enhance braking and corner grip.
• Confidence in Corners
  Side knobs are shaped to provide bite and control through turns, minimizing slipping and boosting rider confidence.
• Robust and Reliable Construction
  Available in 60 TPI dual-compound and heavy-duty DoubleDown (2×120 TPI) casings, including EXO sidewall protection. Tubeless Ready (TR) bead options ensure durability with lower pressures and fewer flats.
