Whether your local ribbon of singletrack winds through the loamy forest soils along the Pacific Northwest or treads over slickrock mesas in the Southwest, the Maxxis Minion DHF 3C/Double Down/TR 29in Tire offers aggressive traction and heightened levels of control for a wide variety of trail surfaces and terrain types. This particular version of the Minion DHF features 3C Maxx Terra compound, which is a triple-compound rubber that's harder along the base layer, getting progressively softer along the top layers for heightened traction and control. Since it's a bit softer than traditional dual-compound tires, you'll notice an increase in overall grip, albeit with a minor compromise in rolling resistance and tread longevity. Overall, it's a great choice if you're seeking the best in traction and control, especially as a burly front tire for tracking across the rough stuff. The Maxxis Minion DHF 3C/Double Down/TR 29in Tire excels over a wide variety of trail conditions, from loose-over-hard to medium-packed dirt and loose, drifty surfaces. Its directional ramped knobs facilitate straight-line control at high speeds, with channel-cut knobs for aggressive cornering traction along the shoulder edges. This version is beefed-up with the Double Down Casing for peace of mind when you're dropping into the roughest of descents with sharp rocks, rock rolls, and bigger hits. This casing is reinforced with a butyl layer, which gives it robust toughness without the hefty weight penalty of a dedicated downhill tire.
