Maxxis Minion DHF DC Exo Tyre
For aggressive trail and all-mountain riders adopting the wider is better philosophy to their rims and tires, the Maxxis Minion DHF Wide Trail 3C/EXO/TR 29in Tire provides unparalleled cornering grip and precise control without adding excessive low rolling resistance on long climbs. It's equally adept as a front or rear tire, seeing it's using a 3C Maxx Terra compound that's softer and more grippy than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet offers better treadwear and less rolling resistance than the ultra-soft and tacky 3C MaxxGrip. Not only that, but EXO sidewall protection gives it robust reinforcement from slits and punctures as you smash into sharp rocks at high speeds. Seeing it uses the newest Wide Trail casing from Maxxis, this particular version of the Minion DHF is suited for those riders using wider rims with an internal width of 30 to 35 millimeters. This Wide Trail Casing pairs with the wider internal width of modern mountain bike rims, which are seemingly getting wider every year, seeing the numerous benefits in tire support and traction afforded by a wider set of hoops. By pairing this 2. 5-inch tire with a 30 to 35-millimeter wide rim, you'll find it lays down a proper footprint on the trail and doesn't squirm while cornering hard, even when you're running it at a lower pressure to gain benefits in traction and compliance.

The tire I installed seems to be defective. What I thought was a pinch flat was actually the sidewall separating from the bead. There was no apparent impact in the area of the split, just fraying at the bead. The tire never really ran true. This being the first time running a 2.6, I played it off as more deviation in the production of a wider tire. However, a 2.6 on a 27.5 felt sloppy in aggressive turns. I like MAXXIS in general and swapped for a 2.5 DD ASSEGAI. The stiffer sidewall of the DD AAEGAI provides much better feedback. I've had better luck running the MINION DHR II 2.4 in the back.

Great all mountain tire. Casing is heavy duty and tread pattern is great for multiple conditions. Installed as tubeless, no issues seating or sealing. Would recommend this tire for almost all applications. It doesn't get too muddy where we live so unknown how it would perform in those conditions. It's kind of expensive compared to other similar tires but you can see and feel the quality when you're riding.

The grip of the DHF is undisputed, so I'm not even going to address that here.If you're ordering the 29 x 2.5 dual compound tire, know that while the tire is foldable, the casing is the DH casing, which means it is HEAVY. Two 60 TPI plies. That fact is not clear on EVO's webpage at all, but that is not unique to EVO. I've seen other sellers doing the same.I have it mounted on a 29mm inner width rim and at it's widest, it measures out as a 2.5 from knob to knob. The carcass measures around 58mm at a normal riding pressure. You can get the carcass to measure 63mm by pumping it up to the max pressure of 50 psi. It might stretch out a bit if you leave it there for 48 hours. Based on my (somewhat limited) experience with Maxxis, narrower than advertised is fairly ...

I purchased my tire on 6/20/24, installed it on my rim on 6/25/24, and rode this tire only three times. I thought these tires were rugged and never had problems with their tires until this time. I was incredibly odd to get three separate punctures in a week. This occurred on Pipeline trail in Toro Park Salinas, CA where the terrain is currently loose on top with hard compaction at the bottom.I got punctures on the following dates:7/2/247/7/247/9/24Today, 7/14/24, I came here to voice my discontent on the quality of these tires. After reading the warranty language, it seems I have no recourse. For an expensive tire, it did not hold up.
In an effort to give the most honest review of these tires that I can it would probably be best to rundown the events leading to the installation of these Maxxis Minion DHF tires. The bike originally came equipped with WTB Trail Boss 29 x 2.6 tires which were incredibly heavy and I found that I had an incredibly difficult time riding the bike. I tend to lean towards narrower tires. I purchased a set of CST Jack Rabbit 29 x 2.1 tires which immediately brought the bike to life and suited my riding style very well. We purchased these Maxxis Minion DHF tires for another bike and that is how I inherited them. With that said I installed the Maxxis tires on my bike and in my opinion it was a step backwards. These tires for me fall somewhere in between the WTB’s and CST’s. ...

We purchased these Maxxis Minion DHF tires for another bike and that is how I inherited them. With that said I installed the Maxxis tires on my bike and in my opinion it was a step backwards. These tires for me fall somewhere in between the WTB’s and CST’s. They do have a lot of grip, maybe too much for me. I also felt every single thing on the trail and these tires reacted to it which for me made for an unstable ride. Although these are good tires and somewhat pricey I gave them 3 stars because the bottom line is the quality of the ride right? These tires may very well be what the doctor ordered for other riders. If they were the only tires I had I would continue to use them. However given the choice the CST’s are the better option for me. I’ll keep the Maxxis Minions for spares.
Swapped my Aggressor at the rear for one of these bad boys and I'm so glad I did.This is a much better tread pattern and profile than the Aggressor.With it being a front tyre, the side knobs really dig in whilst cornering, so I feel far more confident leaning the bike right over at high speeds, you can almost feel the back end gripping as you're pushing it through corners.The climbs are a breeze too due to the sticky compound and the centre tread and I've found the usual struggle to find grip on roots and rocks with loose dirt on has almost disappeared entirely
I got these at an amazing price, and put them on my 27+ bike that has 40mm rims and came stock with 2.8" big ol balloons. The tire recommends a max rim of 35mm for the WT version, so I am pushing it, but with the quality of this tire and how the overall fit/profile looks, I feel confident riding them hard. It might be slightly squared off on my wide rims but they perform much better in the wet, mud, and tech terrain than the wide tires which were also maxxis and amazing for dry hardpack. If you've got a 27.5 bike with 30-35mm rims, these are GREAT tires, and if you've got a 27.5+ with 40mm or less rims, these tires are a night and day difference compared to big volume tires and will stick you right back down to the dirt and give the feedback the big tires absorb.
Here in central Oregon I would say that this Maxxis Minion is THE most popular tire, so I decided to order a pair from Jenson. Great service, fast deliver, competitive price -- as always. The rubber is fairly soft for good traction, and they mounted up on my rim with a bit of give, making it a pretty painless process. Knobby design will be great for wet/winter riding. Definitely high quality tires, recommended!
Great grip and predictable handling.Riding Industry Nine rims with 30mm internal width rim. Installation was great, no levers needed and seating the bead was a breeze.I weigh in just over 200 lbs and ride with 23psi which lets the tire roll over little roots with ease and provides good speed on the Georgia clay single track trails. The grip is wonderful and the handling is very predictable.I was very happy with the accuracy of the tire - 2.50 showed up as 2.4990. So yeah...it is accurate.I am running this front and back and would recommend this tire to anyone who wants a do it all set up.
I have been mtbing for nearly twenty years. I've ridden a host of different brands of tires. I don't know if it was the way my front suspension was set up or perhaps other reasons. But for dry, loose Arizona single track, the was the worst performing front tire I've ever used. Had two nasty washout crashes when cornering at high speed. I swapped the DHR II for the front and put the DHF on the back--a noticeable improvement. I found the best setup for my bike and the Arizona conditions I ride is a DHR II in the rear and a Rekon or a Forekaster in the front. But I notice that so many reviewers speak highly of this tire, so please take this review with a grain of salt.
