Bicycle tyre Maxxis 27.5 x 2.40 WT Minion DHR II TR

Wider shoulder knobs give more support, which makes the tyre handle exceptionally well. Ramped knobs down the centre help acceleration, and the sipes in them build confidence when the bike is leaned over. Paddle shaped knobs bite hard under heavy braking, which keeps the bike in hand. It pairs well with a Minion DHF at the rear for an aggressive combination on the trail.

Technologies
3C MAXXTERRA
Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra is a three layer compound used across the Maxxis mountain bike range. It grips better than 3C MaxxSpeed, and wears more slowly and rolls faster than 3C MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal on trails in a range of conditions.

DOWNHILL (DH)
As the name says, Maxxis tyres with the downhill casing are made for the extremes: downhill racing, the bike park, freeride, and long e-bike journeys. The casing is two layers of a durable 60 TPI material plus a large rubber insert that runs from each bead into the sidewall. That insert guards against punctures from sharp objects, makes rim damage less likely and stiffens the sidewall.

TUBELESS READY
Tubeless tyres bring the rider several advantages: you can run lower pressures, which improves grip, and rolling resistance is lower than with a tube. And if the tyre is punctured, pressure drops far more slowly, since there is no tube. Tubeless tyres are marked TR on the sidewall.

WIDE TRAIL (WT)
The Wide Trail (WT) construction gets the tread layout and profile right on today’s wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims, and the profile can distort, which costs performance. WT tyres are optimised for a 35 mm internal rim width, though they have proved to suit rims of 30 to 35 mm.
Maxxis Wide Trail XC tyres are optimised for rims with a 30 mm internal width, though they work well on rims down to 25 mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30 mm or narrower than 25 mm.
