from Boston MA USA Date Reviewed: March 20, 2010 Strengths: I recently switched my bike from Panaracer XC Pros to Maxxis Minions DHR and DHF 2.35 60a tires and there was a very noticeable improvement in handleing especially in rocky terrain. They perform well in most conditions. I ran the tires through rocks, over roots, through mud, and on hardpack without any problems or loss of control. I run the rear at 40 psi and the front at 37 psi on Mavic XM719 rims using standard tubes. Weaknesses: None so far although I have only used the tires on two trails.

from Edmonton, AB,CAN Date Reviewed: July 30, 2004 Strengths: Dual ply wall, almost rideable without any air! Great tread pattern, front and rear specific designs. Very little rolling resistance. Sheds mud well. Weaknesses: Price, $80 CDN each. The dual ply is heavy, 1135 grams each. There is a single ply version for those who want less weight. This is a downhill/freeride tire, solid reliable performance without the fear of pinch flats and sidewall flex. Accelerates quickly.
