About the Minion DHF

The DHF's tread balances rolling speed with braking and cornering grip so well that it's one of the most imitated designs in mountain biking. Maxxis designs it for the front wheel and offers a DHF spec for everything from local trails and backcountry epics to enduro racing and World Cup downhill.

Dual compound rubber

A dual compound tread uses two rubbers to balance rolling resistance and grip. Its 60 TPI casing favours puncture and cut resistance over suppleness. A steel wire bead adds strength, though it won't fold for carrying.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 20-inch rims (ETRTO 61-406); Maxxis lists a 21–35 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 65 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 2.40-inch tyre. It isn't tubeless ready, so run a tube (Maxxis says sealant in a non-TR tyre voids the warranty). Fitting isn't included; our workshop can fit it for you.

Covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal tread wear, punctures, cuts and damage from incorrect fitting or inflation, or from using sealant in a tyre that isn't tubeless ready, are not manufacturing defects. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with KWT Imports, Maxxis's Australian distributor.
