Maxxis Minion DHR II 29x2.40 3C MaxxTerra DD TR E25 Folding MTB Tyre

The Benchmark Rear MTB Tyre — Built for Enduro & E-Bikes

The Maxxis Minion DHR II is one of the most trusted rear tyres in mountain biking. With its aggressive braking knobs, Minion-signature channel-cut side knobs, and now the protection of a DoubleDown (DD) casing, the DHR II delivers unrivalled braking and cornering confidence across the full range of Scottish trail conditions — from steep, rooty chutes to loose-over-hard moorland descents.

This version features the DoubleDown (DD) casing — two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing reinforced with a butyl sidewall insert, providing downhill-level protection in a more trail-compliant package. It also carries E25 certification, making it suitable for e-bikes with assistance up to 25 km/h.

Key Features

• 3C MaxxTerra compound — intermediate triple compound balancing grip, treadwear and rolling efficiency; ideal for enduro and all-mountain trail use
• DoubleDown (DD) casing — dual 120 TPI casing layers plus butyl sidewall insert for maximum flat protection and rim strike resistance
• Tubeless Ready (TR) — run lower pressures for better traction, reduced puncture risk, and improved comfort
• E25 certified — approved for e-bike use up to 25 km/h assistance
• Folding bead — lightweight and packable
• Ramped, paddle-shaped centre knobs for efficient climbing and strong braking traction
• Redesigned wider shoulder knobs (borrowed from the Minion DHF) for exceptional cornering grip
