3C MaxxTerra

Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

Diagram of Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra technology

3C MaxxGrip

Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

  • 3C MaxxGrip + EXO casing = Light duty trail riding in wet/slick conditions
  • 3C MaxxGrip + EXO+ casing = All-around trail riding in wet/slick conditions
  • 3C MaxxGrip + DoubleDown casing = Enduro racing and e-bikes
  • 3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes

Super Tacky (ST)

Super Tacky (ST) is a special low-rebound, high-traction compound used in select mountain tires.

EXO

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

EXO+

EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Double Down (DD)

DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.

Downhill (DH)

As the name implies, Maxxis’ Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications from downhill racing to bike park riding to free riding to long travel e-bikes. A Maxxis Downhill tire is made with two layers of our durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall. The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.

Tubeless Ready

Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires offer better traction, lower rolling resistance, and fewer flats by eliminating the inner tube. Run lower pressures for improved grip and control. Look for the “TR” marking on the sidewall.

Installation Note: Must be used with tubeless-compatible rims and liquid sealant to maintain air pressure and seal small punctures. Check and refresh sealant regularly as it dries over time.

Important: Use sealant only in tubeless road, tubular, or tubeless ready tires. Using it in other Maxxis models voids the warranty.

Reviews

Three seasons, countless descents, and

"Three seasons, countless descents, and this tire still sets the standard. The DHF hooks up in corners with confidence you have to feel to believe — predictable breakaway, excellent mud clearance, and it rolls faster than it has any right to given how well it grips. Front end feel is exceptional. Tubeless setup was painless, holds pressure reliably, and the casing handles rock strikes without drama. Some tires come and go as “DHF killers” — they never stick. This one does. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Q&A

is Minion 29 x 2.5 compatible with 25mm rim?
It will work on your rim but the tire's profile will be more round than ideal. A 2.30" width would be a better match for your rim.
Is it okay if I mount a Minion DHF 29x2.50 tire on a 23mm rim, or will it affect its performance?
The tire profile will be very round on that rim which will make it difficult to engage the side knobs. We offer the Minion DHF in a 29x2.30 size which is a better match for your rims.
Does the minion DHF tire come with a rim.
No. We do not sell rims or wheels, only tires and tubes.
I'm in need for MaxGrip Minion tires for a 2015 DH bike, with 2.5 or 2.6 width, but I think my rims are only 25mm (Syncros MD25 Disc, 27.5", 32 Hole). Do I have any options? It appears I need 30mm to 35mm rims to have any MaxGrip Minion DHF or DHR options, correct?
Our wide trail tires will work with your rims, it's just that the profile will be a little rounder than optimal.
Have a WTP Swampmaster and it comes with 38mm 20'rims. Would these tires be compatible with that wide of a rim?
The 20x2.40 size should work well for that bike.
