Maxxis Minion SS MTB Tyre

Maxxis Minion SS MTB Tyre

The Minion SS fills the gap between a fast rolling XC tyre and a grippy DH tyre by including a cluster of short, ramped knobs, flanked by the much-loved Minion side knobs. This combination creates a fast-rolling tyre with a square profile that hooks up in loose terrain. Perfect for the modern enduro circuit’s long descents and longer climbs.

• EXO – Exo Protection
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.

• TR – Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty.

• DD – Double Down
DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tyre casing for enduro racing. Two TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tyre, but in a lighter package.

• SW – SilkWorm
SilkWorm (SW) technology is an exclusive material incorporated into the casing of select models, increasing puncture and tear resistance. SilkWorm is featured under the tread as a breaker.
