Can you use Minion DHF on rear?
Though the Maxxis Minion DHF is intended to be run on the front of a bike, it’s a well-rounded tire that is still plenty effective on the rear so long as you aren’t hoping to make it up steep, loose climbs. The one downside to this tire is the same thing that makes some people love it so much.
What rolls faster DHF or DHR?
t the dual compound versions are just plain harder = faster which is why many see the DHR2 as being faster and it’s not because of the tread pattern. The 3C compound of the DHF is SLOW for use as a rear tire; don’t go there and you will be fine.
Which is better DHF or DHR?
DHF stands for downhill freeride not front. A whole lot of people run them front and back including myself. A DHR2 is also a great front tire with a lot of braking traction in steep terrain. The DHF rolls much better in the rear than a DHR though.
What’s the difference between Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR?
They’re almost the same tire. The dhF is for the front and the dhR is for the rear. But most people run the DHFs front and rear. DHR is for the rear and DHF is (supposedly) for the front, but the DHF doesn’t have a specific tread pattern and is lighter than the DHR (just as/more grippy too) so people run dual DHF’s.
Is higher TPI better?
Threads Per Inch (TPI) Lower TPI gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire.
