![]() No better or worse than other tyres I have used (eg. The tyre is set up on Giant XC-1 rim with Giant sealant, and it was a bit tight, but all Maxxis tyres seem the same in my experience. Have you run the tyre as tubeless? If so, how was tubeless installation? It’s slightly narrower than the 2.4 High Roller II I run on the rear. How is the sizing of the tyre – ie accurate, bit narrow, bit big etc? The Minion FBR features well-known, proven side knobs for cornering traction and ramped, paddle-like knobs down the middle, minimizing rolling resistance and maximizing traction in all conditions. It shares the look of the Minion DHR II, but is optimized for fat biking. Ideally though, trail centres or summer use… Excellent. The Minion FBR is a rear-specific fat bike tire designed for trail riding. Okay, it’s no mud tyre, but it’s passable if you’re an occasional mud-plugger and don’t want to swap tyres all the time. Wet or dry hardpack, loose over hard, dry dusty – it seems to excel in all. What sort of conditions does this tyre work best in? Dry, mud, rock, loose, firm etcĪs said earlier, this tyre works well in most UK conditions. I’m running 28mm inner-width rims so not exactly wide, but the all round grip for a 2.4in tyre is fantastic. Maxxis Cubierta Tubeless Ready Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C MaxxTerra WT 27. For hardpack, dry or wet (and my local trails are the infamous ‘Cannock Cobbles’, which when wet are slippier than a penguin coated in jelly) the grip is consistent, biting really well under braking and when leant over in hard cornering. However, I think I’ve stumbled on a new favourite! Front end traction is fantastic in most UK conditions, even passable in off-piste mud. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.TBH, my standard front tyre is the 3C Max Terra Minion DHF, but that was out of stock, so a DHR II was chanced. UST certified tubeless tyres, 15% lighter, better air retention, and increased sidewall puncture resistance.ģC MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.Īn intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. Proprietary woven material based sidewall, increased abrasion and cut resistance, integrated exterior design. The nylon of the casing is folded over to provide two layers of protection for extra puncture resistance. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert. The next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. ![]() Great traction yet minimal impact on tread life, Maxxis standard compound.Įxtra layer of butyl rubber wrapped around the bead of a Downhill tire, helps prevent pinch flats and protects the rim. Provides awesome grip yet stable knobs prevent squirm on hard pack. Hard compound base layer for lug support, high traction middle and optimized side lug compounds providing excellent control. Pair the DHR II with the Minion DHF for the ultimate aggressive riding combo! Redesigned, wider shoulder knobs for better cornering Paddle-like centre knobs for improved braking Ramped and siped tread to roll fast and track straight under braking. The centre tread has been heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Cornering traction is similar, I didnt find the Dissector lacking so if the DHR2 has more cornering grip its not noticable for me. ![]() Im hoping the Minion style cornering knobs and dual compound will hold up better. ![]() The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tire. After almost 50 miles Ive got a decent comparison. Acceleration, cornering and braking have all been improved. The Minion DHR II is a complete redesign. ![]()
