Maxxis Minion DHX - MTB Tyre

Over the last decade, World Cup Downhill racing has seen an evolution to steeper, faster, and gnarlier tracks and highly dedicated athletes pushing the boundaries of their bodies and their equipment more than ever before. With those higher demands, tyres have been pushed to their limits…until now.

The all new Minion DHX was born specifically from the demands of Maxxis’ top athletes to provide more support, more control, and more confidence on these next level modern DH race tracks. Maxxis engineers have been hard at work taking feedback from athletes, improving casing structure, improving compound compositions, and improving tread layout and stability to accomplish one goal; Give the worlds fastest athletes a tyre that goes as hard as they do.

Features:

• Next generation dry tyre providing unparalleled combination grip and support in fast and / or high load conditions.
• More side knob support to keep knobs from folding at the base, with low depth sipes to allow for surface conformation.
• Front and rear versatility
• Intuitive handling characteristics with smooth transition from center to side knobs.
• Comparable rolling speed and braking power as DHR II but with increased stability and a smoother transition to cornering knobs.
• Dual ply 120 TPI casing
• MaxxGrip rubber compound
• Tubeless Ready
• E50 Rated

Featuring the all-new DH Casing:

• Progressive casing stiffness that allows pressure to be set for performance versus sidewall stability or rim strike prevention.
• Allows lower pressures (2-3 psi less than previous gen DH casing) which results in slower tyre rebound and more planted, damped feel.
• Improved puncture protection.
• Comparable weight to previous DH casing.
• Dual ply 120 TPI casing
• MaxxGrip rubber compound
• Tubeless Ready
