The Maxxis Minion hits 20 years

The Maxxis Minion hits 20 years

If there was a benchmark for downhill and aggressive trail riding, it would probably look a lot like the Maxxis Minion. Designed 20 years ago by Maxxis team rider Colin Bailey, the Minion is largely unchanged from that original design and the results have been rolling in ever since. The DHF was the first version of the Minion, but it was later joined by the DHR to make the ultimate pair of gravity-defying tyres. 

To celebrate the anniversary, Maxxis is releasing a Minion DHF with special 'heavy metal' inspired graphics. Just like the normal DHF bit with some added attitude to make your bike a little more rock n roll. 

As well as the tyre itself, Maxxis has also been working on the below edit called 'FLUID' with Braydon Bringhurst. Check it out, it's worth a watch.
