Maxxis Minion DHX DH Folding 3C MaxxGrip Tyre

Maxxis Minion DHX DH Folding 3C MaxxGrip Tyre

Over the last decade, World Cup Downhill racing has seen an evolution to steeper, faster, and gnarlier tracks. Highly dedicated athletes are pushing the boundaries of their bodies and their equipment more than ever before. With those higher demands, tyres have been pushed to their limits…until now.

The all new Minion DHX was born specifically from the demands of Maxxis’ top athletes to provide more support, more control, and more confidence on these next level modern DH race tracks.

Our engineers have been hard at work taking feedback from our athletes, improving casing structure, improving compound compositions, and improving tread layout and stability to accomplish one goal. Give the world’s fastest athletes a tyre that goes as hard as they do.

With a long list of podiums in 2025/26 already, and wins by Jackson Goldstone at both 2025 Champery World Champs & Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup. Also by Luca Shaw at 2026 Loudenvielle World Cup, success aboard the Minion DHX is off to a ripping start!

Available technologies:

3C MaxxGrip:

• 3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer generally the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.

New Downhill (DH) Casing:

• This New DH Casing achieves improved compliance over chattery rocks and roots, better support under high cornering loads & impacts, and more durability…because flat tyres are never fast. For the rest of us, this all translates to increased confidence bombing through technical sections of trail, less risk of a tyre or rim failure. Getting to the bottom of the mountain feeling less beat up and ready do it all over again.
• Progressive casing stiffness that allows pressure to be set for performance versus sidewall stability or rim strike prevention, allowing for lower pressures (2-3 psi less than previous gen DH casing) which results in slower tyre rebound and more planted, damped feel and improved puncture protection

Tubeless Ready:

• Tubeless tyre provide the rider with many benefits. The ability to run lower air pressures, which generally improves traction. Lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyre: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready.
