The trail version of the Maxxis Minion DHR II features the same tread
pattern as its downhill counterpart, but uses a single-ply casing to
reduce weight. With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF,
but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other.
Refined and redesigned; ready to shred any line. Redesigned, wider
shoulder knobs for better cornering, Paddle-like centre knobs for
improved braking, ramped and siped tread to roll fast and track straight
under braking- EXCELLENT BRAKING AND CORNERING TRACTION
- TUBELESS READY (TR)
- EXO PROTECTION AVAILABLE
RUBBER COMPOUNDS
The
most important part of a tire is arguably the rubber compound within
the tread. By changing the amounts of various components of the rubber
formula, engineers can make two identical looking tires perform
completely differently.
This tyre uses Dual Compound - Two compounds
used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance
and increased cornering grip.
FOLDABLE BEAD
Foldable beads also
keep the tire secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily
transported. The bead is made of spun aramid or Kevlar® fibres
TUBLESS READY
Tubeless
tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower
air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when
compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is
no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST
tubeless tire without the weight penalty.
Liquid sealants should
only be used in the following types of tires: Tubeless Road, Tubular,
and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire
will void the warranty.
