Maxxis Minion DHX Downhill 120X2 TPI 3C Maxxgrip Tubeless Tyre - 27.5 x 2.5 inch

The Maxxis Minion DHX is Maxxis's dedicated downhill race tread, developed directly from feedback from its World Cup Downhill athletes and campaigned to wins at the 2025 Champéry World Champs, Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup and 2026 Loudenvielle World Cup. It uses a single tread pattern designed to work on both the front and rear wheel, rather than the directional, position-specific tread of the Minion DHF and DHR II. This 27.5 x 2.5in tyre is built in Maxxis's new DH/Downhill race casing with a 2x120 TPI dual-ply construction and 3C MaxxGrip compound — the full-weight race casing at the top of the DHX range, the same specification campaigned at World Cup level, for riders who want maximum support and protection for downhill racing and bike park use.

3C MaxxGrip Compound

• Triple-compound construction using Maxxis's softest, stickiest rubber formulation for maximum traction
• Slow-rebound properties improve grip on hard, wet and technical downhill terrain
• Aimed at riders prioritising outright grip over rolling speed or tread longevity

New DH/Downhill Casing

• Progressive casing stiffness lets pressure be set for performance rather than purely for sidewall stability or rim-strike prevention — Maxxis states this supports running 2-3 PSI less than the previous-generation DH casing
• Improves compliance over chattery rocks and roots and support under high cornering loads and impacts compared with a standard casing
• Slower tyre rebound gives a more planted, damped feel and improved puncture protection

Tubeless Ready

• Folding bead, tubeless-ready construction — runs without an inner tube when paired with a tubeless-compatible rim, tape and valve
• Supports lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance than a tube-type tyre, and less chance of flatting
• Use tubeless-ready, tubeless road or tubular sealant only — Maxxis states that sealant used in any other tyre type will void the warranty

Sold as a single tyre. The Minion DHX in DH casing is Maxxis's full race-day specification, built for World Cup-level downhill racing and sustained bike park use.
