Maxxis Minion DHR

Would recommend

Pros
Great gripping. Makes turning and readjustment easier

Cons
Slightly heavier than what I was used. Did teach me to not break to try to maintain speed and momentum.

great all around tire

Pros
excellent grip

Cons
a little slow on hard pack

This Maxxis Minion DHR 27.5x2.4" EXO, WT, TLR came stock on my new bike. Have no real complaints about this tire, except maybe weight but you really can't have toughness and light weight together. Tough tire with great grip.

Pros
Traction
Easy tubeless setup
Tough sidewalls

Cons
HEAVY
Slower rolling

This front tire excels in Co Springs where the terrain is loose granite gravel over hardpack dirt trail. It is a heavy tire and can feel like pushing a plow uphill, but downhill the confidence lets you rip!ProsIdeal for loose over hard,

Because of the tire's grip I run th DHF in the front paired with a HR II in the rear.

Pros
Great traction
Excellent grip

I like the High Roller II a little better, good tire.

Pros
Aggressive
Size choices

Cons
Slow rolling
cost

This is a great tire, I replaced a XKing which was faster but didn't hold up.

Pros
Great grip, running it on the front, durable

Cons
Price and weight

Not sure the grip on downhill outweighs the sluggishness on climbs.

Pros
- Terrific grip
- Durable

Cons
- Rolls like mud
- Heavy on the climb

I have the 29 / 2.35 on the front and rear
Great tire for the descents over wet sketchy rock gardens.
I have them on my hardtail and they really allow you to get into the more technical terrain

Pros
Excellent grip
tubeless
goes well in any conditions
Never had a puncture
All mountain do it all tire

Cons
They aren't the fastest rolling tire but its probably made up for by the extra grip you get out of them.

i run 2.5" on rear and front and they are noticeably slower but would trade the benefits of braapability any day

Pros
Great grip. Soft but durable compound. Burly AM tire.

Cons
weight and resistance. It's an AM tire tho so pick your poison

A nice round-edge tire for all mountain that really holds up well despite having tall-ish knobs. Really an any-condition tire for me.

Pros
Sturdy, durable, quality tire. Ran it on the front and rear - prefer it on the front.

Cons
Not the grippiest tire I've owned. Washes out easier than the DHF and HRII

Yes, without hesitation. It's a great tire to throw up front on your favorite trail ripper.

Pros
- shreds all-mountain trails
- builds confidence regardless of conditions
- durable

Cons
- price and weight
- not your fastest roller

I recommend this tire in the front.

Pros
Awesome tire! Shreds hard and precise. Fair amount of rolling resistance. Sets up tubeless very easy no flats or burps.

Cons
Not light or fast.

Highly recommend this tire in the rear.

Pros
Surprisingly low rolling resistance for a knobby DH inspired tire. Grips all surfaces well and really shreds through the loose stuff. Well supported side knobs that dig in with minimal squirm. Sets up tubeless super easy have not had a flat or any burps.

Cons
Not the lightest nor the fastest tire.

Going from stock Bontragers to these was like getting a new bike. Love these tires.

Pros
Grips like crazy!

Cons
Price

I put this tire and the DHF on my 2016 Trek Xcaliber 9 today to replace the stock Bontrager XR 1's which I hated. It was like owning a new bike. I rode faster because I never felt out of control and tackled several downhill sections I have always walked before. If you are having stability problems, try some Minions.

Pros
Grips like crazy.

Cons
Price

I switched from Kenda Nevegals to Maxxis Minions on my 29er and have never been happier. Riding the CO Frontrange can put a hammering on tires if you ride hard and I'm not looking back. Defintiely worth the added weight on the climbs.

Pros
By far the best grip I have experienced yet. This tire chews and naws while begging for more. Don't be afraid to lean it over hard.

Cons
Heavier than most tires...but worth it.

I only have these tires below to compare to.
This tire replaced my High Roller 2.35, the 2.5 is a bit wider than the High Roller and the same size as my 2.25 Maxxis Crossmark
Corner grip destroys the high roller, I've gone much faster and still have yet to reach the limit.

Pros
Grip

Pros
Great Dh tire, grip like crazy, durable with big hits.

Cons
Wear out fast depending on what ply you get

This is the most used tire in the DH community for one simple reason. It's the best. Has won many World cups and many hearts of riders alike.

Pros
Grip
Predictability
Rolling resistance

Cons
price
