Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown Wide Trail Tire

The Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown Wide Trail Tire is built for riders demanding maximum braking traction, control, and durability in aggressive trail and enduro riding conditions.

Engineered with Maxxis’s stickiest 3C MaxxGrip compound and reinforced DoubleDown (DD) casing, this WT (Wide Trail) model delivers confidence-inspiring grip and strength—especially when descending rough, loose, or muddy terrain.
