Escapa presents the Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5 3C Maxx Grip 3G/DH/TR tire, featuring side knobs inspired by the legendary Minion DHF but widened to provide greater support; the DHR II offers unmatched cornering grip.
The center tread features angled leading edges to improve acceleration and grooves that create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. The shovel-style knobs in the center tread dig into the ground during hard braking and help maintain control of the bike. Pair it with a Minion DHF on the front wheel for the ultimate tire combination for aggressive Trail riding! The Minion DHF is available in Trail, Enduro, and Downhill versions.
Tread Compound: 3C MaxxGrip (ideal for mixed conditions)
Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the grippiest, slowest-rebounding rubber we offer in mountain bike tires. This high-traction compound is the same one used by our top athletes in the Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series, and it’s now available in a variety of casing configurations to suit every rider.
Downhill (DH): As the name suggests, Maxxis Downhill tires are designed for extreme use on all types of terrain, from downhill racing to bike park riding, freeride, and long-distance E-Bikes. A Maxxis Downhill tire is constructed with two layers of our durable 60 TPI casing, along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each Talon to the sidewall. This butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides greater sidewall stability.
Casing: 60 TPI + EXO (general Sendero use)
