Maxxis Tyre Minion Dhr Ii 27.5 X 2.50 3cg New Dh Tr (new 2026) Fold 120x2tpi E-25

MINION DHR II

The Maxxis Minion DHR II is designed as the perfect rear tire complement to the Minion DHF / DHX, optimized for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding. Engineered to deliver outstanding braking performance and traction, the DHR II features an innovative tread pattern with closely spaced ramped center knobs for fast rolling and improved braking bite.

Large, square-profile shoulder knobs provide excellent cornering stability and grip, allowing riders to maintain confidence on loose and technical terrain. Available in multiple compounds and casing options—such as 3C MaxxTerra, MaxxGrip, and DoubleDown—the tire offers a balance of durability, traction, and performance tailored to different riding styles and conditions.

Tubeless-ready and Wide Trail (WT) optimized, the Minion DHR II supports modern rim widths, enabling lower pressures for improved traction and reduced risk of flats. Its versatile design makes it a go-to choice for riders seeking reliable control on technical descents and challenging trails.

Key Features

• Innovative tread pattern with ramped, closely spaced center knobs for fast rolling and strong braking bite
• Large, square shoulder knobs for enhanced cornering traction and stability
• Multiple compound options (MaxxTerra, MaxxGrip) to tailor grip and durability

NEW DH Casing:

• This New DH Casing achieves improved compliance over chattery rocks and roots, better support under high cornering loads & impacts, and more durability… because flat tyres are never fast.
• For the rest of us, this all translates to increased confidence bombing through technical sections of trail, less risk of a tyre or rim failure, and getting to the bottom of the mountain feeling less beat up and ready do it all over again.

Key Features:

• 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

• E25 & E50 Rated

New DH Casing Features:
