Was originally running a 2.3 high roller II and was not pleased with the way it handled unless you aggressively leaned the bike. There were really no "transition" knobs on the high roller II, so mid turn on anything other than super tacky and the high roller would feel like it was squirming under me. Rode a new tallboy 3 for fun, which came with the 2.3 dhf and was super impressed. Knowing that I had just picked up some 30mm wide carbon rims, I decided to try the 2.5 for a front. I was not disappointed. When you buy these tires, make sure to read the part number and ensure you're getting the exact tire you need/want. They come in a lot of variations. I actually purchased one from another seller first, and they mis-listed the item as an exo dual compound - when I actually received a double down exo tire (literally 1500 gram heaviest tire they make). Now, i'm not a weight weenie or anything, but when you order a tire you want to make sure the compound and sidewall are going to work for the riding type you do. Dual compound is great for middle of the road tread softness. Not too hard to be super focused on rolling resistance, but not too soft to be a detriment to keeping speed. Typically, the dual compound is what comes on the stock DHF tallboy 3, so that's the way I went. I can say, after riding the double down casing, the standard exo casing is much grippier on hard pack. The harder the sidewall, the less compliant it will be to form around the terrain and obstacles you are riding. The exo protection on my old high roller was awesome for well over 2 seasons of riding, so I stuck with that and nothing more. Not to mention that the standard exo single ply is much lighter. Again, not a weight weenie, but I really noticed the difference putting this one on compared to the double down. the front just feels super nimble compared the the heavy double down - and thats saying a lot for a 2.5 front. Also note, this tire in the 2.5 29er form, though not always listed this way, is the "WT" tire - meaning wide trail sidewall design. Both DHF's had this, so I'm unsure if I can tell the difference this WT creates. They say it's a better rolling profile for 30-35mm - I've heard of lots of guys with 28mm internal going with WT as well. Overall, the single ply exo dhf is an amazing trail tire. If you're looking for something on the aggressive side of trail for a front, this tire has gobs and gobs of grip and really doesn't roll any worse than my high roller II 2.3. It doesn't roll quite as easy as a nobby nic, but it gives a ton more confidence and seems way more surefooted in any terrain you can throw at it. I paired this up with a 2.35 ikon exo rear, which I feel really balances the bike out for rolling speed & grip. was really surprised how well they worked together, even on dry dusty hardpack. 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. ## Features - MAXXIS MINION DHF: With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder that the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking. - DUAL COMPOUND: Two distinct rubber compounds are used within the tread to offer a balance between rolling resistance and grip. - EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many of our gravel and MTB tires. Suitable for use in a wide range of riding applications from gravel to XC to light trail duty. - E25: Tires with an E25 rating are suitable for light duty e-bikes with assistance up to a maximum of 16.1 MPH. - WIDE TRAIL: Optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile to match today’s modern, wider rims. Maxxis offers WT tires for everything from XC to gravity applications. A 30mm internal width rim is ideal for most applications, but WT tires can be used on rims ranging from 19mm to 35mm internal. - QUALITY GUARANTEE: 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CNLXKII | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,392 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #35 in Bike Tires | | Bike Type | Mountain Bike | | Brand Name | Maxxis | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (4,762) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04717784025742 | | Included Components | 29x2.50WT - EXO, E25, Black Sidewall, Minion DHF Dual Compound Tire, TB96800000, Tubeless Ready | | Item Diameter | 29 Inches | | Item Type Name | Minion DHF Black | | Item Weight | 1.02 Kilograms | | Item Width | 2.5 Inches | | Manufacturer | Maxxis | | Manufacturer Part Number | TB96800000 | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Number | Maxxis-TB96800000 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 29x2.50WT - EXO, E25 | | Tensile Strength | 50 Pounds Per Square Inch | | Tire Type | Tubeless | | Tread Type | Directional | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Maxxis warrants to the original retail purchaser of every new Maxxis brand bicycle tire that the tire will be free from defect in material and workmanship for up to one year from date of purchase or until there is no serviceable original tread depth (as determined at the reasonable discretion of Maxxis) remaining on the Tire, whichever comes first.

It is grippy and perfect for blue and black downhill trails. The tires are wide and knobby and are thick enough to be durable. They are not fast rollers but have more grip. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maxxis Minion DHF - Dual Compound - 20, 24, 26, 27.5, 29 - EXO - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Gold Standard of Gravity Focused Tread - Maxxis Minion DHR II - Dual Compound - 20, 24, 26, 27.5, 29 - EXO - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Excellent Braking and Cornering Traction in Steep Terrain - Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1435553-minion-dhf-dual-compound-and-exo](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1435553-minion-dhf-dual-compound-and-exo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
