Higher Volume Tyre Casing, Better Grip, Faster Rolling The iconic Minion DHF design is now available in PLUS sizing for even more grip, rolling performance and volume than ever before. The higher volume tyre casing provides a larger footprint on the train, which grips to the dirt and rolls over terrain unlike any Front Wheel specific tyre before it. Technologies: 3C MaxxTerra: 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip. The perfect compound if you like to ride exceptionally fast and tackle every obstacle with confidence. EXO Protection: Maxxis EXO tyres feature an exceptional cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the tyre sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is very lightweight and is very flexible, which guarantees that the performance of the tyre is unaffected. The EXO Protection is a superb choice for rocky, aggressive and technical trails where the chance of sidewall cuts is high. Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres provide many benefits: they offer the ability to run lower air pressures, which dramatically improves traction; it provides a lower rolling resistance compared to when using tubes and a drastic reduction in the change of getting a flat tyre since there is no tube.
