• Lightweight construction: Reduces rolling resistance, helping you achieve faster speeds and greater efficiency on climbs and descents.
• Reinforced sidewalls: Provides added durability, resisting cuts and abrasions to ensure the tyre lasts longer, even on rough trails.

Maxxis Technologies (Compounds & Casings):

3C MaxxTerra - Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tyre line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

3C MaxxGrip - Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tyre. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

3C MaxxGrip + EXO casing = Light duty trail riding in wet/slick conditions

3C MaxxGrip + EXO+ casing = All-around trail riding in wet/slick conditions

3C MaxxGrip + DoubleDown casing = Enduro racing and e-bikes

3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes

Super Tacky (ST) - Super Tacky (ST) is a special low-rebound, high-traction compound used in select mountain tyres.

EXO - EXO is a cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

EXO+ - EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tyre from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Double Down (DD) - DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tyre with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tyre. DoubleDown tyres are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tyre.

Downhill (DH) - As the name implies, Maxxis’ Downhill casing tyres are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications from downhill racing to bike park riding to free riding to long travel e-bikes. A Maxxis Downhill tyre is made with two layers of our durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall. The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.

Wide Trail (WT) - Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Historically, tyres were designed around older, narrower rims which can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to suboptimal performance. Our Wide Trail (2.40-2.50″ width) tyres are optimised for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.

For those seeking control and speed, the Maxxis Minion DHF delivers on both fronts. Its grip in loose and muddy terrain keeps you steady, while its lightweight design ensures top speeds. Whether you're tackling mixed, hard, or wet trails, this tyre offers a compound to match your ride needs.

Upgrade your ride with the Maxxis Minion DHF and experience improved performance on every trail. The grip, durability, and speed make it a must-have for any serious rider.
