Tread

Designed as the perfect partner in crime to the DHF, the DHRII was built from the ground up to be a rear specific tyre. With big, ramped centre lugs the DHRII will slow you down in a hurry. DHF derived side knobs give excellent cornering traction, allowing the DHRII to be used on the front as well as the rear. 

Casings

  • EXO 

    EXO is the lightweight Trail sidewall from Maxxis and uses a cut and tear resistant fabric insert along the bead to reinforce the tyre to give good puncture protection without adding too much weight. This makes EXO an excellent choice for Trail riding or lighter Enduro riders.

  • EXO+ 

    The EXO+ sidewall is a step-up in puncture protection from the EXO, but not as protective as the heavier DoubleDown casing. Giving a good balance between weight and rigidity it’s a popular choice for Trail and Enduro Riders.

  • Double Down 

    DoubleDown is Maxxis’ heavy duty sidewall for heavy duty Enduro and DH application. The only casing tougher is the wire bead DH casing. DoubleDown is a 2 ply construction with a bead insert giving incredible stability and support, allowing riders to run lower pressures without risking puncture. 

Compound

  • MaxxTerra 

    Maxxis’ MaxxTerra compound set gives a good blend between longevity and traction. While not as soft as the full traction but fast wearing MaxxGrip, a MaxxTerra tyre will last longer and roll slightly faster while still providing good levels of traction.

  • Dual Compound Dual Compound Maxxis tyres use a harder rubber than is found on their 3C offerings (MaxxTerra and MaxxGrip). This translates as a longer usable lifespan for the tyre as well as faster rolling speed. However, a harder rubber compound also means less available traction meaning Dual Compound tyres are most commonly seen on the rear wheel.
