The Minion DHR 2 is a complete redesign with acceleration cornering and braking all improved. The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tyre. They are also packed a bit closer together than on the Minion DHF. This helps to disperse the load whilst braking over more knobs and improve longevity. The centre tread has been heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. The big paddle-shaped centre knobs also last remarkably well under hard braking. Whilst the Minion DHR2 was designed as a rear specific tyre it works very well on the front too particularly on harder terrain. For a great trail tyre combo run a Minion DHR 2 on the front with an Ardent or a 2.35' version of the Ikon or Ignitor on the back. For a more heavy duty enduro set up your can run Minion DHR 2's front and rear. If you want to just run the DHR 2 on the front then you can team it up with either an Aggressor Minion Semi Slick or the Tomahawk on the back. If you want to run the DHR 2 on the back then look to pair it up with either a Maxxis Highroller 2 or a Minion DHF up front. Please note: 'WT' stands for Wide Trail. These tyres were designed around use with 35mm internal rims. However riders utilising narrower rims (ourselves included) have still found them to perform exceptionally. If your rims are narrower than 24mm internal you may find them to roll and squirm under hard cornering. Minion DHF 2.6' tyres don't have the WT designation as they are designed to run on 35mm internal rims at a minimum. Also note: Wire bead tyres are sent rolled up to minimise shipping costs. The wires in the beads shouldn't get bent during this process however if they arrive with a bend just bend them back til they are straight.
