The minion DHR has always been a bit of a reference rear tire, the Wide Trail (WT) version fits my rims and is true to size so fits in my frame as well - result.It was surprisingly easy to fit and air up tubeless, maxxis beads are not as reassuringly tight as some other brands but on wide rims I'm not so concerned.Despite my purchasing frustrations I still have to give 5* for a great product but guys at maxxis get your heads straight on technical info and have someone competent edit your online information so it is correct and consistent.

Great tire, its been top of the game for over 20 years for a reason.However, be warned with relying on Tweeks Cycles description of the version of DHR II you are wanting to purchase! Product knowledge and up to date to current Maxxis catalogue is not accurate.I purchased Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5 x 2.4 Folding 3C Maxx Terra EXO+ TR after asking Tweeks what TPI they had. Tweeks replied that it was 120TPI (bit strange because Maxiss stopped doing 120TPI in 2021 & now only do 60TPI in that config). This can easily be confirmed and cross checked by internet search of Maxxis Product code ETB00112300 in their latest catalogue.My invoice even said 120TPI, but the tire is 60TPI.

This review is for the EXO casing, not EXO+.I am an aggressive rider and I mistakenly bought the EXO casing over the tougher ones available. On one hand, it was incredibly grippy because the light casing made the tire feel very lively and springy. On the other hand though, I punctured twice within the first 3 rides. 33.3% of my rides on this tire did not end up with me patching them mid ride. Maybe this is because my riding style has become more demanding recently, or maybe a I got a bad batch of tires, but even the lightest duty tires I've had in the past have survived longer than that before I've had to start plugging holes.Bottom line: If you are looking for a very grippy tire for light to medium duty trail rides, this will probably work fine.

If you're taking bigger hits, you need to go with a heavier duty casing for sure. I'm leaving a 4 star review despite the fact that I would review my experience with them as a 1 because they are extremely good from a performance perspective and my experience is likely a result of having the wrong casing for my needs.

These tires are not for the meek and quiet types, these are amazing tires for running down ski slopes in the summer. They hook up well on corners and are tough. I have yet to puncture one beyond a pinhole. On the downside they are tubeless and tough to install on rims, they just fit a gnats butt too tight, or maybe it is I am installing liners and then trying to get them on the tire. My wife avoids the garage when I change tires. Really says something about the tires when the $8000-10000 MTBs are equipped with these from the factory. Great tires.
Switched from double 2.5 DHF, to 2.5 DHF front and 2.3 DHR rear on 30 mm rims and I love it. Fixed the rear rolling over while maintaining climbing traction and improving braking traction all at the same time. Better climbing, braking and cornering. That's called a win.On top of that it was a lower price than the iffy off brand tires I was also considering. With faster delivery than I've had in a long time.
First time on Maxxis tires, DHR II Exo+ - they came on my new bike. A few rides in, using proper PSI and set-up tubeless, I get a puncture from a rock (my nearest trail is a quarry, so it's rocky). $110 a to get a quick replacement and Maxxis will not warranty a tire that has the Exo+ that (supposed to be puncture resistant). I'll be switching to another brand when it's replacement time. Too expensive to last for 10 or less rides. Otherwise, I find the tire just ok. Slow and easily slides out in a corner, esp in very dry conditions.
Running it as a rear for the perfect amount of grip and rolling resistance. This is a MaxxTerra so it's the perfectly medium for maintaining traction without being extremely sluggish for climbing or maintaining speed on flatter trails. The only difference between OEM and a regular tire is the color of the logo; OEM is white and regular consumer Maxxis tires are yellow. Save some money on a solid tire and pick one of these up!
I like using this tire on my E-Bike it has a mullet setup and I run the Assegai up front. The DHR in DD protection has been my favorite choice. Most bikes come with EXO or EXO+ and in some trail near me the sharp shale rocks above the Luge trail ripped off some lugs and tore thru the base of the tire when a sharp edge rock put a 1/4" size hole in the carcass. Had to use a tube to get home, since then on my ebike I will only buy the DD version, Maxx Terra still only gets me 6 months or use out of it before the tire goes bald. I'm pretty easy on tires but the ebike is heavy and I ride it pretty hard. Great stopping grip and the cornering is stable, Just learn to lean your bike under you, to get the corner lugs to bite hard and they do. Its my go to rear tire now.
The DHR II is just about everything I'd want for the dry, rocky trails I frequent. Tons of grip prevent loss of traction on punchy climbs and loose corners. The tread pattern is great for getting back under control when braking. Plus, the casing is super durable shrugging of pointy rocks and sidewall abrasions better than most.
