Love this tire! 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.

so far I love the way this tire is holding up.. great tread and the smooth ride.

We bought these tires as a replacement for ones that had worn out. We absolutely love these tires! We have taken them in rain, mud, dirt, rock, road and so much more and we can’t believe how much grip these things have. Do great in the mountains and wonderful on red or solid rock trails.

I just got these tires and so far I am very pleased. They look great grip good and go over rough terrain well. I got these tires because they have a thicker side wall than my soft and supple tires which were good for riding in conditions where the possibility of getting a puncture on the side wall is little to none.

I narrowed my choice between the Continental Mtn and the Maxis Minion DHF. After examining both before mounting either I returned the Continental Mtn comparing the tread density between the two. What put me off to the Continental Mtn was the lower tread density.

This tire has been great. I have them on my old Trek (pictured) and my Pivot, and Giant. I bought this 26×2.4 for the old bike and it has made a huge difference in traction and handling. the old tire was worn and a 2.1″. I didn’t think the .3 would make much of a difference but it really has. I am running the DHF front and rear. and they work great for me. Running this tubeless so that part was easy to set up, getting them on is a little work, not much but with some tire levers, it popped right on the rim. no issues with a bunch of riding on them.

That are great maxxis tires

I’ve used this tire for a long time. I think I used these tires for at least two 7 years now. Grippy and durable.
