The Maxxis Minion DHF is one of the most copied mountain bike tires ever made, with a tread pattern that balances fast rolling with confident braking and cornering grip. From local trail rides and backcountry epics to enduro racing and World Cup downhill, the DHF has a place on almost any bike. These DHF models use the new generation MaxxTerra compound, an all-new rubber formula that Maxxis says delivers 30% more durability and 15% more traction with no loss in rolling efficiency. Available in EXO or EXO+ casing.

Our thoughts:
There is a reason the DHF has been copied so many times: it simply works, with predictable cornering and solid braking in almost any conditions. Paired with the new generation MaxxTerra compound, it is an easy front tire recommendation for trail and enduro riders, and it matches perfectly with a DHR II out back.
