Over the years, the Maxxis Minion DH tire has earned a reputation as one of the best DH/freeride tires on the market, and the new Minion DHR II EXO/TR Tire retains the original's aggressive tread pattern but with a few tweaks. The center tread features ramped leading edges for improved acceleration and smooth transition into any corner. Also on the center tread are paddle-like knobs designed to dig in hard while braking for total control.
