The Maxxis Minion DHF 27.5x2.5 DH Wire is one of the most iconic aggressive MTB tyres ever made, built specifically for downhill, enduro, and bike park riding. Known as the benchmark for front tyres, it delivers exceptional grip, braking control, and cornering confidence on loose and technical terrain.

The tread features ramped centre knobs for rolling speed and large, channel-cut side knobs for precise cornering and traction. This version uses a Downhill (DH) dual-ply casing with a wire bead, offering maximum strength, sidewall support, and resistance to pinch flats—ideal for hard hits and rough lines.

Many DH variants also include Super Tacky or 3C MaxxGrip compounds, providing ultra-soft rubber for maximum traction, especially in wet or loose conditions.

Wire Bead Strength: Reliable and robust for heavy-duty use.
