The Maxxis Minion DHR II is one of the most trusted rear tires in enduro and downhill riding, purpose-built to deliver exceptional braking traction, cornering control, and stability on steep and technical terrain. Redesigned from the ground up, the DHR II combines a heavily reinforced center tread with aggressive side knobs to provide confident handling in loose, rough, and high-speed conditions. Its center tread features ramped leading edges for improved rolling efficiency, while the wide, supportive side knobs enhance cornering grip when leaning into turns at speed. This combination makes the DHR II especially effective as a rear tire, where controlled braking and predictable drift are critical for aggressive riding.

Available in 3C MaxxTerra or 3C MaxxGrip compounds, riders can choose between a balance of durability and rolling efficiency or maximum grip for the most demanding conditions. The 3C MaxxGrip option is widely favored in downhill applications for its superior traction on wet, loose, or technical terrain. A wide range of casing options—including EXO, EXO+, DoubleDown (DD), and full DH casing—allows riders to tailor puncture resistance and support to their riding style and terrain demands. The DH casing offers maximum durability for race-level downhill use, while lighter options provide improved efficiency for enduro and trail setups.

Tubeless Ready construction enables lower tire pressures for increased grip, comfort, and control while reducing the risk of pinch flats. Available in multiple widths including 2.40”, 2.50”, and 2.60”, the DHR II can be fine-tuned for different bike setups and terrain preferences. The Maxxis Minion DHR II remains a benchmark rear tire for riders who demand predictable traction, strong braking performance, and confidence-inspiring control on the most demanding trails and race tracks.
