MAXXIS Minion DHF - Dual Compound - 20, 24, 26, 27.5, 29 - EXO - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Gold Standard of Gravity Focused Tread

Just changed my rear tire after 5 years.I was running a specialized tire my bike came with and just changed to this Maxxis DHR11 and what a difference. I had been getting a lot of flats on the back tire, read up a bit and found new tires @ the right tire pressure make a huge difference.

Great all around tire. Tire mounted easy. great tire for a decent price.

Good tire and even better seller! Everyone knows this tire is good. I purchased 2 tires and received 1. I messaged the seller, and within 30 minutes, they had another on the way with overnight shipping.

These were great, but at my local trails you have to climb to get to the fun, which unfortunately made these less fun. I ended up switching to something lighter, but if I didn’t have to climb so much I would switch back to these for sure, super grippy

Awesome tires

Good price; great fit for mountain bike

Not so good first. Was planning on running a DHF and DHR combo so I ordered them separately from one another. I had to wait about three days extra for the DHF to come in and it ended up being a DHR with a sticky tab that said DHF on it.However, for them being the same price and it being in stock in my size I wasn’t gonna complain cause I just wanted new shoes and wanted them ASAP.Boy howdy I tell you what Maxxis makes one hell of a tire!!! The DHR’s work amazing!!! As for install I just took them to the shop. Not gonna go much more into it since these aren’t DHFs. Won’t give five stars because it wasn’t exactly what I ordered.Trek X-caliber 8 2021 29” 2.3

Love this tire! Was originally running a 2.3 high roller II and was not pleased with the way it handled unless you aggressively leaned the bike. There were really no "transition" knobs on the high roller II, so mid turn on anything other than super tacky and the high roller would feel like it was squirming under me. Rode a new tallboy 3 for fun, which came with the 2.3 dhf and was super impressed. Knowing that I had just picked up some 30mm wide carbon rims, I decided to try the 2.5 for a front. I was not disappointed.When you buy these tires, make sure to read the part number and ensure you're getting the exact tire you need/want. They come in a lot of variations. I actually purchased one from another seller first, and they mis-listed the item as an exo dual compound - when I actually received a double down exo tire (literally 1500 gram heaviest tire they make). Now, i'm not a weight weenie or anything, but when you order a tire you want to make sure the compound and sidewall are going to work for the riding type you do.Dual compound is great for middle of the road tread softness. Not too hard to be super focused on rolling resistance, but not too soft to be a detriment to keeping speed. Typically, the dual compound is what comes on the stock DHF tallboy 3, so that's the way I went. I can say, after riding the double down casing, the standard exo casing is much grippier on hard pack. The harder the sidewall, the less compliant it will be to form around the terrain and obstacles you are riding. The exo protection on my old high roller was awesome for well over 2 seasons of riding, so I stuck with that and nothing more. Not to mention that the standard exo single ply is much lighter. Again, not a weight weenie, but I really noticed the difference putting this one on compared to the double down. the front just feels super nimble compared the the heavy double down - and thats saying a lot for a 2.5 front.Also note, this tire in the 2.5 29er form, though not always listed this way, is the "WT" tire - meaning wide trail sidewall design. Both DHF's had this, so I'm unsure if I can tell the difference this WT creates. They say it's a better rolling profile for 30-35mm - I've heard of lots of guys with 28mm internal going with WT as well.Overall, the single ply exo dhf is an amazing trail tire. If you're looking for something on the aggressive side of trail for a front, this tire has gobs and gobs of grip and really doesn't roll any worse than my high roller II 2.3. It doesn't roll quite as easy as a nobby nic, but it gives a ton more confidence and seems way more surefooted in any terrain you can throw at it.I paired this up with a 2.35 ikon exo rear, which I feel really balances the bike out for rolling speed & grip. was really surprised how well they worked together, even on dry dusty hardpack.
