Review on MAXXIS Minion Tubeless Bicycle MaxxTerra by Jesse Wells

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I expected more (replaces the Specialized Butcher)

Everyone loved this tire. The similar butcher I had up front didn't hold air but still had plenty of wear. Not wanting to bother with straightening during a long day trip, I replaced it with a Maxxis DHF. While it's still under 100 miles, I skip rocks and shift the front end more than my previous setup. I weigh 195 pounds on the FSR with the correct suspension settings. I will continue to play with air pressure because I WANT it to work. So far I'm not happy. On the plus side, I'm NO longer losing air. (Enve M65 with orange seal - 19-27 psi)

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic transmission
