The DHR II is is the gold standard for riders wanting maximum traction and cornering grip when trail conditions get loose and muddy.

      • Ramped paddle shaped center knobs roll efficiently and provide excellent traction for climbing and braking
      • Minion signature channel cut side knobs provide excellent cornering traction
      • Intended use: loose, loose over hard, medium
      • 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber offered by Maxxis to provide lots of traction on the trail
      • DoubleDown (DD) casing features two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire
      • Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims, optimized around a 35mm inner width
      • Flat Protection: Tread and Sidewall

      BASIC TIRE CONSTRUCTION

      BEAD

      The function of the bead is to keep the tire in contact with the rim while the tire is inflated.

      WIRE BEAD: A rigid metal wire is utilized as bead material in applications where ultimate strength is needed and transportability is not a factor.

      FOLDABLE BEAD: Foldable beads also keep the tire secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily transported. The bead is made of spun aramid fibers.

      CARBON FIBER BEAD: A flexible material with greater strength to withstand the forces exerted by a high-pressure road tire.

      CASING

      SINGLE-PLY CASING: One layer of nylon wrapped from bead-to-bead. A single-ply casing conforms well to the terrain and is lighter weight.

      DUAL-PLY CASING: Two layers of casing material are used from bead-to-bead, providing additional protection and sidewall stiffness for enduro  and downhill applications (DoubleDown and Downhill casing tires).


      Types of Rubber Compounds

      The most important part of a tire is arguably the rubber compound within the tread. By changing the amounts of various components of the rubber formula, engineers can make two identical looking tires perform completely differently. A list of Maxxis compounds and their distinct characteristics is below.

      SINGLE COMPOUND

      One compound throughout the tread optimized for longevity and performance.

      DUAL COMPOUND

      Two compounds used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.

      TRIPLE COMPOUND

      Three compounds arranged in the tire for the ultimate in no-compromise racing performance.


      Tubeless Ready

      Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires offer better traction, lower rolling resistance, and fewer flats by eliminating the inner tube. Run lower pressures for improved grip and control. Look for the “TR” marking on the sidewall.

      Installation Note: Must be used with tubeless-compatible rims and liquid sealant to maintain air pressure and seal small punctures. Check and refresh sealant regularly as it dries over time.

      Important: Use sealant only in tubeless road, tubular, or tubeless ready tires. Using it in other Maxxis models voids the warranty.
