Highlights
- Next generation dry tire providing unparalleled combination grip and support in fast and / or high load conditions.
- More side knob support to keep knobs from folding at the base, with low depth sipes to allow for surface conformation.
- Front and rear versatility thanks to that x factor.
- Intuitive handling characteristics with smooth transition from center to side knobs.
- Comparable rolling speed and braking power as DHR II but with increased stability and a smoother transition to cornering knobs.
- Progressive casing stiffness allows tire pressure to be optimized for performance without sacrificing sidewall support or rim protection.
- Supports lower tire pressures (2–3 PSI less than the previous-generation DH Casing) for enhanced traction, slower tire rebound, and a more planted, damped ride feel.
Description
The all-new Minion DHX is Maxxis' next-generation dry-condition gravity tread, engineered for riders demanding maximum grip and support in fast, high-load conditions.
Purpose-built for the speed and intensity of modern downhill racing, the DHX features a new tread architecture with reinforced shoulder knobs that resist folding under extreme cornering loads while shallow siping allows the tread surface to conform to the trail for exceptional mechanical grip.
The result is greater stability through high-speed corners, a smooth and intuitive transition from center tread to shoulder knobs, and the confidence to commit when the fastest line leaves no room for hesitation.
Comparable rolling speed and braking performance to the proven DHR II ensure riders sacrifice nothing in efficiency while gaining increased support and cornering precision.
Designed for use as either a front or rear tire, the Minion DHX is equally at home between the tape, in the bike park, or on aggressive eMTBs where higher speeds and increased loads demand more from every tire.
Introducing the Minion DHX.
At the heart of the New DH Casing construction is progressive casing stiffness, allowing the tire to remain supple over small impacts while providing increasing sidewall support as cornering and impact forces build. Rather than forcing riders to choose between grip and stability, the New DH Casing delivers both.
The increased support allows riders to reduce tire pressure by approximately 2-3 psi compared to the previous-generation DH casing. Lower pressures improve terrain conformity while creating a slower tire rebound, giving the bike a calmer, more planted feel and increasing traction through rough terrain.
Improved puncture protection and a weight comparable to the previous DH casing complete a construction designed to meet the demands of modern gravity riding head-on.
The result is a tire casing that allows riders to tune pressure for maximum performance, and not simply to prevent sidewall rollover or rim strikes.
