What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I've been running the Minion DHF 27. 5 Dual Compound with EXO on my trail bike for over a year now. It’s fast-rolling on hardpack, and the cornering support is unbeatable. The EXO sidewalls have held up through rocky descents and rooty climbs—this is my go-to front tire for all-around trail riding."The Maxxis Minion DHF in 27. 5-inch with Dual Compound rubber and a 60 TPI + EXO casing is our tire of choice for all-around trail riding. Engineered for predictable traction across a wide range of conditions, the DHF’s aggressive tread pattern bites confidently into everything from packed flow trails to rocky switchbacks. It's one of the most imitated designs in mountain biking for a reason—when the terrain gets rowdy, this tire delivers. With a Dual Compound construction, the tire balances durability and grip for long trail days where varied conditions are the norm. The 60 TPI casing is supple enough to conform to terrain while staying tough, and the EXO sidewall protection adds confidence on sharp rocks and root-strewn descents. It’s tubeless-ready for lower pressure traction and comes optimized for front wheel use, where precise control and braking matter most.
