Minion DHR II Wide Trail 3C/TR Tire - 29in

MaxxTerra is a specialized rubber compound used in Maxxis tires that strikes a balance between grip, durability, and low rolling resistance. This means that tires made with MaxxTerra will stick to the ground well, providing excellent traction, while also lasting longer and allowing for smoother rides without slowing you down. If you want a tire that performs well in various conditions, MaxxTerra is a great choice.

EXO and EXO+ are two levels of puncture protection in Maxxis tires. EXO offers lightweight, medium-duty protection against cuts and abrasions, making it suitable for casual riding. EXO+, on the other hand, provides enhanced protection for more aggressive riding conditions, ensuring your tires can withstand rough terrain and potential damage. If you ride in tougher environments, consider opting for EXO+ for added peace of mind.

TPI measures the density of the threads in a tire's casing. A higher TPI, like 120, means the tire is more flexible and can provide a smoother ride, which is great for comfort and handling. Conversely, a lower TPI, such as 60, typically results in a sturdier and more durable tire, ideal for rougher terrains. Choosing the right TPI based on your riding style and the surfaces you encounter can significantly enhance your biking experience.

Wide Trail refers to a tire design optimized for modern rims with a wider internal width (30-35mm). This design allows for a better contact patch with the ground, improving traction and handling. If you have a bike with wider rims, selecting Wide Trail tires will ensure better performance and stability, especially on challenging terrains.

Ramped knobs are designed with sloped edges that help the tire roll more easily and accelerate quickly. This feature is particularly beneficial for riders who need to gain speed rapidly, such as when starting from a stop or climbing hills. If you’re looking for tires that enhance your ability to accelerate and maintain speed, choosing tires with ramped knobs can make a noticeable difference.

Maxxis tires are engineered with advanced technologies like MaxxTerra, EXO protection, and specialized tread designs, making them suitable for a wide range of riding styles and conditions. Whether you prioritize grip, durability, or speed, Maxxis offers options tailored to your needs. Investing in Maxxis tires means you’re choosing quality and performance, which can significantly enhance your overall biking experience.
