With huge air volume and UST compatibility, the Minion DH from Maxxis sucks up bumps like nobodys business. It was engineered to meet the demands of UCI world cup downhill racers. 42A super tacky compound offers enhanced surface traction (thanks to a softer rubber compound) and is recommended for race use only. It excels on hardpack, loose-over-hardpack, and medium soil conditions.

Foldable Aramid bead lightens the load without sacrificing strength. Choose front or rear specific tread.

Type: Front or Rear
Weight: 1125 grams

        from Phoenix, AZ

        Verified Buyer

        Pros

        • Nice tread pattern

        Cons

        • Super soft compound
        • UST bead sucks
        • UST didnt work on my rims

        • Who knows Didn't use it

        Comments about Maxxis Minion DH UST Tire:

        Tried to mount the UST minion on some tubeless rims and the bead did not want to seat and ended up blowing apart. Now the tire is useless and I didn't even get to ride it!
        Manufacturer defect or poor quality?

        Just Hooks Up Every Time

        By Joe Dirt

        from GJ, CO

        Pros

        • Great traction
        • Solid Side Walls

        Cons

          Best Uses

            Comments about Maxxis Minion DH UST Tire:

            This is my favorite tire. A totaly worn out super tacky Minion on the front will rail better than most tires that are brand new. The side walls are good enough to take all kinds of rock garden abuse. I quit shopping and only buy this tire now.

                If you downhill you will bank. On a bank the more tire you have on the ground the better your handling. Downhill you need less gears but more brakes and rubber.

                    Comments about Maxxis Minion DH UST Tire:

                    I've had this tire on the front of my 575 for the few years. While it's a legit DH tire, I think it's a perfect all-mountain / XC tire for longer travel bikes. Never had it wash out, so far, and it seems to excel in dry or wet conditions.

                    Comments about Maxxis Minion DH UST Tire:

                    These tires are the only tires I run because of two reasons. 1) They are the only UST tire I can find in the size I run that doesn't weigh a metric ton. 2) The dry weather traction is exceptional.
