Tread

The benchmark that all other descending focused tyres are measured against, the Minion DHF celebrated its 20th birthday in 2021 and is still the go to front tyre for countless riders. Providing fantastic cornering traction and predictable handling in mixed terrain, the DHF really shines when the trails are dry/damp and a touch loose. Pair with the Minion DHRII on the back for easy, confidence inspiring traction.

 

Casing

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.

 

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.
