Maxxis Minion DHR II 29x2.50 3C MaxxGrip DD TR Folding MTB Tyre

The Benchmark Rear MTB Tyre — 3C MaxxGrip, Double Down

The Maxxis Minion DHR II needs little introduction — it's one of the most trusted rear tyres in mountain biking, with aggressive braking knobs, Minion-signature channel-cut side knobs, and confidence-inspiring cornering grip. This build pairs the DoubleDown casing with 3C MaxxGrip, the stickiest compound Maxxis make, for maximum traction on demanding downhill and enduro runs where grip matters more than rolling speed.

DoubleDown (DD) casing — two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing reinforced with a butyl sidewall insert, giving downhill-level protection in a more trail-compliant package than a full DH casing.

Key Features

• 3C MaxxGrip compound — the stickiest, slowest-rebounding rubber Maxxis make; used by World Cup DH and EWS athletes
• DoubleDown (DD) casing — dual 120 TPI 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
• Ramped, paddle-shaped centre knobs for strong braking traction
• Redesigned wider shoulder knobs (borrowed from the Minion DHF) for exceptional cornering grip
• Channel-cut side knobs for consistent cornering feel across lean angles
• Folding bead — lightweight and packable
