MAXXIS MINION DHX
NEXT-GENERATION DOWNHILL CONTROL
A next-generation downhill tire engineered for greater support, control, and confidence on fast, demanding modern race tracks.
MAXXIS MINION DHX
The all-new Minion DHX is a next-generation downhill tire developed to meet the demands of steeper, faster, and more challenging modern race tracks. Created with direct input from MAXXIS’ top athletes, it delivers the support, control, and confidence needed for fast and high-load riding conditions.
Its updated casing structure, refined rubber compounds, and improved tread layout provide stable and intuitive handling. Reinforced side knobs resist folding under load, while shallow sipes help the tread conform to the riding surface. The Minion DHX offers rolling speed and braking performance comparable to the Minion DHR II, with increased stability and a smoother transition from the center tread to the cornering knobs.
