Tyre: Maxxis MINION DHF

The Minion DHF combines tried-and-tested features such as bevelled knobs for low rolling resistance and smooth running with longitudinally slotted knobs for grippier edges. This gives it excellent directional stability and precise cornering. It is the benchmark for fast trails, from light freeride to hard downhill. The Minion DHF is constantly updated and supplemented with new versions. New additions include Enduro versions in all three MTB tyre sizes and the Maxxis TR, Tubeless-Ready, versions.

Maxxis WITE TRAIL CASING, WT

The Wide Trail construction optimises the tread pattern and tyre shape for today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed for narrow rims and take on an overly angular shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimised for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but perform excellently on all rims with an inner width between 30 and 39 mm.
The following MTB tyre widths are available in WT construction:
2.40WT,
2.50WT and
2.60WT wide tyres generally have a WT construction, but no WT marking on the tyre sidewall.

3C MAXX TERRA

The right 3C compound for enduro and freeride tyres. Smooth rolling uphill and excellent grip downhill characterise this compound, as does a long service life.

Maxxis EXO Protection

This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewalls of various MTB tyres. It is very densely woven, lightweight and highly flexible. As a result, the tyres’ performance remains consistently impressive.

Maxxis Tubeless Ready, TR

Tubeless tyres offer many advantages: you can ride with lower air pressure. This provides better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And with no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tyres are better prepared for fitting with sealant than other Tubeless Ready tyres. The bead of TR tyres is completely covered with a rubber layer, just like a genuine UST tubeless tyre. This means that tubeless fitting on all rims of standard dimensions is successful from the very first inflation and with very little sealant.
