## Description

The Maxxis Minion DHF features a legendary tread design that perfectly balances rolling speed, braking, and cornering traction, making it one of the most trusted and imitated tires in mountain biking. Recognized as the gold standard for gravity and enduro riders, it delivers outstanding control on technical terrain and is ideal for long-travel e-bikes. Designed for front wheel use and E50-rated for e-MTB performance.

Review: Awesome front tire - I normally run Maxxis on my bike and wanted to get something more aggressive for my son's bike at 20 inches. His current bike is the Rei rev coop 20 inch mtb with 2.6 tires. So the change over was super easy, currently running tubes, but plan on going tubeless so I did get some smaller tubes. Installation was super easy. Compared to the previous tires the DHR 2 and DHF are a huge improvement in traction, little less cushion but not by much. I was hoping to reduce the inseam clearance by an inch or two and this change definitely did that. Additionally the tires just pop out they make the bike look so much better. Lots of pros and cons on the rei bike but I am here to review the tires and even though they were a little pricy it was definitely worth it and I would highly recommend getting better tires for your kids. I ran the dhr in the rear with the dhf up front. Have to say my son is in love with the way it looks and rides, and it has improved his confidence by having better traction.
Review: The Gold Standard - Great tire. Really hugs the trail.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This tire is not the dhf downhill, correct? and in the options of width does not appear the 2,3 i believe that the option 29'' of the middle would be**
A: I Bought the 29” 2.5 and it is a great tire. Strong enough for super enduro...

**Q: Minimum rim width?**
A: DT Swiss has a good table for matching widths: https://dycteyr72g97f.cloudfront.net/uploads/W0X1900AEIXS012610/MAN_WXD10000000866S_WEB_ZZ_001.pdf. Looks like 20mm inner is minimum, but be careful on something that narrow: tire might feel floppy and probably has a better chance of burping if you're running tubeless through harsh rocks. Haven't tried the tire on my WTB i23s yet, but those rims feel great tubeless with 2.35

**Q: Is the tire folding or is it a wire bead?**
A: Folding, and it is an excellent tire! Glad I bought it.

**Q: This is probably a dumb question, but would this tire fit a 29" Genesis Astra Cruiser Men's Bike? I need tires badly for my bike.**
A: No, I believe this tire will be too wide for your bike and will not have the needed clearance between the fork, chain stays and seat stays.  Look at the sidewall of your current tires and check the width.  It is most likely something like 2.1 or maybe 2.25. I couldn't find any specs on it checking online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gold Standard
*by I***5 on November 18, 2025*

Great tire. Really hugs the trail.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the Cheapest but Amazing Tire
*by K***N on November 3, 2022*

This tire has been great. I have them on my old Trek (pictured) and my Pivot, and Giant. I bought this 26x2.4 for the old bike and it has made a huge difference in traction and handling. the old tire was worn and a 2.1". I didn't think the .3 would make much of a difference but it really has. I am running the DHF front and rear. and they work great for me. Running this tubeless so that part was easy to set up, getting them on is a little work, not much but with some tire levers, it popped right on the rim. no issues with a bunch of riding on them.
