Maxxis Minion DHR II 29×2.6 – rear tire for trail, enduro, and downhill riding

Summary:
The Maxxis Minion DHR II 29×2.6 is an iconic rear tire that provides unbeatable grip and predictable control on all surfaces. Its wide center knobs provide a slightly more floaty feel compared to the DHF, and the transition from the center to the side knobs in corners is extremely smooth. EXO+ sidewall protection and the 3C MaxxTerra rubber compound make the tire durable yet flexible, suitable for both e-bikes and traditional enduro bikes. The Tubeless Ready construction and 60 TPI folding casing allow for lower air pressures, better grip, and a more comfortable ride. The DHR II performs excellently as both a rear tire and as a capable front tire on trail, enduro, and downhill bikes.

Materials and Technology:

• Rubber compound: 3C MaxxTerra combines optimal grip, durability, and rolling efficiency. It performs in all conditions, especially on wet and slippery surfaces.

• Protection: EXO+ combines a SilkShield layer with EXO sidewall protection. SilkShield runs from bead to bead, while EXO adds cut resistance to the sidewalls. It improves puncture protection by 27%, sidewall durability by 51%, and pinch-flat resistance by 28% without adding stiffness.

• Casing: The 60 TPI folding casing makes the tire lightweight and easy to mount, while remaining durable for demanding riding.

• TR – Tubeless Ready: allows for lower air pressures, better grip and comfort, and reduces the risk of punctures.

• WT – Wide Trail: a profile optimized for wider rims ensures the best contact patch and control.

Conditions and Ride Feel:
The DHR II 29×2.6 is designed as a rear tire but works well on the front too, especially in varied and demanding conditions. The width of the center tread and the shape of the side knobs offer controlled cornering and effective braking. The tire rolls surprisingly fast while maintaining high control on technical and wet sections. Pair it with a Minion DHF or Assegai up front for an aggressive and versatile trail or enduro tire combination.

Compatibility:

• Recommended as a rear tire; also works as a front tire on trail and enduro bikes.

• Excellent pair with Maxxis Minion DHF or Assegai tires.

• Suitable for XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH bikes, including e-bikes.

User Benefits:
