Maxxis Minion DHF Tire – 27.5″

   3C MaxxTerra [Select Tires]–        Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.

   3C MaxxGrip [Select Tires]–        Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.

   EXO Protection [Select Tires]–        An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.

   Tubeless Ready [Select Tires]–        Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty. TR tires use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tires are the only Maxxis tires approved for use with liquid sealants. Using a liquid sealant in any non-TR Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

   Folding Bead [Select Tires]–        Foldable beads keep the tire secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily transported. The bead is made of spun aramid or Kevlar® fibers.

   Wire Bead [Select Tires]–        The function of the bead is to keep the tire in contact with the rim while the tire is inflated. A rigid metal wire is utilized as bead material in applications where ultimate strength is needed and transportability is not a factor.

   2-Ply DH Casing [Select Tires]–        With butyl-protected sidewalls for durability.

   Super Tacky [Select Tires]–        A special low rebound, high traction compound used in mountain tires.

   Ramped Knobs for Low Rolling Resistance

   Channel-Cut Knobs–        To increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
