Maxxis Minion DHR II WT
A brand new classic tyre from Maxxis. Despite the R (rear) suffix, this tyre is much better as an aggro front tyre for mixed-loose conditions.

Maxxis Minion DHF WT
Maxxis took the venerable old DHF tread and upsized it, whapped it on a new carcass shape and voila! The DHF is ready to rock for another decade. Faster rolling, less aggro than the DHR II.

Maxxis Ardent Race
Despite its rather unfashionable round profile and minimal tread, there are still plenty of riders out there who ride terrain where this speedy tyre still shines, especially on the rear.

Maxxis Shorty
Whilst it arguably falls somewhat short(!) in terms of a being an off-the-shelf pre-cut-down mud spike (it’s too squat for that), the Shorty is a good choice for muddy and rocky UK autumn-winter seasons.

Maxxis Aggressor
As a front tyre the Aggressor doesn’t quite cut it, it’s too stuffed with tread. As a rear tyre, it’s hugely better. Faster than a DHR II or High Roller II. Less sketchy than a Minion SS can be.

Maxxis Minion SS
A real cult tyre, the Minion SS is one of the new school semi-slick rear tyre-only offerings that a lot of fireroad bashing enduro-heads are fond of. Worth sampling.

Maxxis Tomahawk
A bit of an odd one this. Let’s just say, if you like the idea of a Maxxis Ardent Race (see above) but find them lacking bite on your terrain, you should try a Tomahawk.
