Got a pair of DHF/DHR for riding pack dirt, roots, rocks and creek crossings. Great for cornering and still works great in wet conditions. I was wondering if it would be too much for the trails around DC (Schaeffer/patapsco) but it worked great!Only downside: Very hard to find a pair with dark tan sidewalls, not sure why they aren't coming as a pair! I ordered from different websites. Funny enough, ordering from Maxxis meant 15$ extra and they charged me 9$ for shipping for the same tire. Not sure I'll come back directly to their website in the future without looking around a bit more.

Did a lot of research on these Minion DHF vs DHR's and it came down to basically ones personal preference. I chose these tires for the durability, gripping capability especial for downhill sharp turns and technical trails. Great rollover on rocks and great tractions on those steep climbs.Plus I love the overall look of the tan wall...put them on my Cannondale Habit (29r) and have just been having a blast on the trails with confidence. Maxxis has not let me down! Thanks EVO for your help in choosing the right tires for my liking.-Roger

I'm a trail/XC rider and always opted for lighter faster rolling tires with their smaller closely spaced knobs, which have been good riding in damp woods. However, I've been riding a lot of very dry 'loose over hard' lately and losing the front end so figured I'd get something much more aggressive with big widely spaced knobs, like the well respected Minion DHF. It definitely does dig in better, and I don't notice the weight or increased rolling resistance in any consequential way. When I go back to riding in damp woods with slippery rocks, roots and moist soil, I'll very likely go back to my previous tires, but for what I'm doing now, these are better than I expected. BTW, Maxxis measures tire width across the knobs.

The carcass of this nominally 2.5" width tire measures 2.3" on a my 30mm inner width rim.

Bought this tire as my current ones were old and tired. Noticed improved traction right away! Highly recommended. Day 2 on the tires was a MTB class. Out of 13 bikes 10 had Maxxis tires! I said to someone that with so many folks riding MAXXIS the price should be lower but even with the price as it is a great product.
I actually do not like the DHF for a front tire since installing it the beginning of 2021 riding season.I remember reading that in order to really gain the benefits of this tire is leaning the bike far enough to engage the outside row of knobbies. Maybe I do not lean enough; but I find the front tire slipping when cornering in any kind of dusty terrain and ended up on the ground twice last year because the tire slipped out. I am considering an Assegai or Reckon or Aspen so eliminate that gap between the knob rows.I welcome feedback because I am fully aware that half the world loves this tire. I am 5' 10", 205 pounds (but not fat), run 25-26 psi in the front and 26-28 psi on the rear DHR II tire. Tires are 2.75 x 2.4. The trails I ride are fast, smooth, hardpack ... MoreI actually do not like the DHF for a front tire since installing it the beginning of 2021 riding season.I remember reading that in order to really gain the benefits of this tire is leaning the bike far enough to engage the outside row of knobbies.

This tire is really great. I live in an area with sharp rocks, these evil rocks protrude into the trail and slash and tear the sidewalls of every tire except Maxxis. For some reason Maxxis tires like the minion are impenetrable by these sharp doom rocks. I recommend Maxxis because I don't like walking back to the car. Also it does the whole tubeless thing really well.
The Maxxis Minion DHF is a great tire. I have had this tire on by bike front and rear for a couple of months now and they look great. I ride a lot of down hill and these tires have never folded under pressure or lost grip. For example, this tire has been jumped into a rock garden then immediately into a corner and I felt in control the whole time. I would recommend getting a little faster rolling tire in the rear, but this tire is a great all around tire. Overall this tire has never failed me and will let me corner fast with ease. Great tire Maxxis.
I gave this tire 5 stars because it's better than 4. I'd actually give it 4.5 if that was available. I do love this tire and it's saved my bacon on more than 1 ocassion from front wheel slide outs. The only possible negative on the tire is the tread gap between the outermost knobs and the closest set of inner knobs. There's a little slip point if you don't lean the bike just so. You'll adjust to it but it'll take a few rides.
Really disappointed, tyre about 6 months old been to 8 bike parks in that time. Son complained of a rear wheel buckle when after closer inspection the rim is true but the tyre has twisted. You can actually feel it when riding along. The beading line is perfectly equal both sides but I still removed it and put it back on the rim in a different place but it makes no difference. The actual rubber has sort of distorted which causes the rear wheel to look like it has a huge buckle.Emailed UK contact but no reply.
Recently purchased a new bike and it came with 2.4's. The bike I'm replacing it with has a 2.8 in the front and 2.6 rear. Definitely not a fan of the narrower tires the new bike has so went up to 2.6 in the front. It does make a difference and just don't understand this trend back to the 90's with narrow tires. I ride mostly technical, rocky, rooty New England trails and the 2.4's just don't track like wider tires. At least I found this and it's working well.
