Braking grip and cornering support for demanding trails.
The Maxxis Minion DHR II is a rear-focused mountain bike tyre designed for trail, enduro and downhill riding. Paddle-shaped centre knobs dig in under braking, while ramped leading edges help the tyre roll between corners.
Widened side knobs provide support when leaning into a turn. Choose from an EXO version for trail riding or the BikePark version with a downhill casing for harder use. Both have a wire bead and Tubeless Ready construction.

Who Is It For?
The DHR II suits riders looking for a grippy rear tyre for steep trails, rough descents and bike park riding. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for an aggressive trail setup.
Our Thoughts
If you want more braking grip and cornering support than a fast-rolling XC tyre can offer, the DHR II is a solid choice. Choose EXO for everyday trail riding or the BikePark version if your bike spends more time on rough descents and lift-assisted laps.
