An ancient shredder once said “Going fast isn’t the main thing, it’s the only thing.” Wise words, and Maxxis took them to heart when it designed the (slightly) new Minion DHF Wide Trail 3C/EXO/TR 27. 5in Tire. The Minion DHF Wide tire is made to rally with an updated tread pattern that serves up more grip when mounted on wider rims without making you lay your rig on its side. It goes without saying that the Minion DHF can be run tubeless, which means lower PSI and more grip, and that it’s EXO casing can hammer down the fastest, sharpest trails without taking a killer hit. Finally, note that the Maxx Grip compound is softer and mores responsive to braking than the harder, fast-rolling Maxx Terra.
