The Maxxis Minion DHR II is the rear-specific half of Maxxis's DHF/DHR II directional pairing, with wider shoulder knobs for cornering support and paddle-shaped centre knobs for braking traction. This 29 x 2.4in tyre is built in Maxxis's EXO casing and MaxxTerra compound, giving a lighter-weight trail build than the EXO+, DoubleDown and Downhill-casing versions in the range. MaxxTerra Compound Maxxis's updated MaxxTerra rubber formulation, balancing grip, durability and rolling efficiency for trail use Maxxis states a 30% increase in durability and a 15% increase in traction over the previous-generation MaxxTerra compound, with no loss in rolling efficiency EXO Puncture Protection Cut- and abrasion-resistant fabric layer added to the sidewalls Lightweight and flexible, so it doesn't affect the tyre's on-trail performance Suited to rocky, technical trails where sidewall cuts and abrasions are a risk Tubeless Ready Folding bead, tubeless-ready construction runs without an inner tube on a tubeless-compatible rim, tape and valve Use tubeless-ready, tubeless road or tubular sealant only Maxxis states sealant used in any other tyre type will void the warranty Specification Detail Size 29 x 2.4in Discipline Trail Tread Directional rear-specific (paired with the Minion DHF up front) Compound MaxxTerra Casing EXO TPI 60 Bead Type Folding Tubeless Tubeless Ready Max Pressure 60 PSI Weight 1067g (single tyre) Sold as a single tyre.
