The Maxxis Minion DHR II is the gravity-focused rear tire chosen by elite riders to attack the world's most demanding trails. Side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF have been widened for extra support, giving the DHR II cornering bite and predictability that no other tire can match. The center tread features ramped leading edges that roll efficiently and improve acceleration, with sipes that create a smooth transition as the bike leans into turns. Paddle-like center knobs dig in under hard braking to keep the bike under control on steep, loose descents. Built with 3C MaxxTerra, an updated triple compound formulation that increases durability while maintaining grip, tread wear, and rolling resistance, the DHR II delivers race-day traction that holds up ride after ride. EXO casing adds sidewall protection with extreme cut and abrasion resistance while staying lightweight and highly flexible, so puncture defense comes without dulling the feel of the tire. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail combination across trail, enduro, and downhill use. Recommended for all trail conditions and intended for rear installation.
