Maxxis Minion DHX Tubeless Mountain Tire Description:
The Maxxis Minion DHX Tubeless Mountain Tire is an all-conditions downhill style tire that will inspire a rider to push their limits. Unique tread block shapes with chamfered leading edges will roll very efficiently over straight sections of the trail, and there is enough spacing between the blocks to eject mud and debris from the blocks. The tread shapes also produce excellent grip as the rider transitions their weight into corners, and once leaned over, aggressive shoulder blocks take over to keep the bike and the rider flowing through the optimal line. Maxxis’s advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound and incredibly stable, yet supple, new DH casing combine to conform to irregular terrain and ensure the rider stays glued to the trail, while added sidewall protection and tough butyl inserts near the bead prevent cuts and rim damage from high speed impacts. Last but certainly not least, the construction of the Maxxis Minion DHX Tubeless Mountain Tire is optimized for lower tire pressures which ensures the rider will have a smoother and more controlled ride that is ready to send the rider down any course.
Features:
- Versatile all-condition tire born specifically for athletes taking on rugged and technical downhill and enduro courses, with performance that has been proven with podiums at multiple World Cup DH races
- MaxxGrip compound uses a combination of Maxxis’s softest rubber with slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction for high speed downhill and other gravity fueled riding styles
- 3C tread construction uses 3 different durometers throughout the tread block:
- Hard compound at the base of all tread blocks ensure the block digs into the ground and won’t flex, delivering confident cornering and braking traction
- Medium compound is used on top of the central knobs to deliver low rolling resistance and excellent durability
- Soft compound located on top of the shoulder knobs delivers tenacious grip through the corners
- New DH casing features a high tech casing material woven into two 120TPI plies which have a wide overlap that extends all of the way under the tread (shoulder to shoulder) for effective puncture prevention that maintains respectible tire weights
- Progressive casing stiffness supports lower tire pressures (up to 3 PSI less than previous DH casing) for enhanced traction and a smoother ride while retaining excellent sidewall stability and impact protection for the rim
- Sidewall protection delivers excellent cut and puncture resistance while retaining a supple tire that provides a more planted ride quality and enhanced traction
- High hardness butyl inserts near the beads of the tire prevents tire damage from a rough rim surface and enhances sidewall support especially when running lower tire pressures
- Tubeless Ready which allows lower tire pressures to be run for increased traction and lower rolling resistance
- Can be used front or rear
- E50 speed rating so these tires are suitable for enduro style e-bikes
