Overview
Maxxis Minion SS: a semi-slick rear tyre with DHF cornering knobs for fast rolling on dry, hard-packed trails.
The Minion SS (Semi Slick) takes the classic Minion DHF tread and shaves down the centre knobs to roll much faster.
Maxxis recommends it as a rear tyre for dry, hard-packed trails, paired with a Dissector, Minion DHF or Assegai up front. It uses a Dual compound on a 60 TPI EXO casing and is tubeless ready.
