Minion DHF / Minion family

Crossmark II

Crossmark II is built for speed on hardpack and intermediate trail conditions. Tight centre ribs reduce rolling resistance while the revised side knobs improve cornering. Lightweight casings with EXO protection and tubeless-ready builds help you go fast without compromising reliability. Suitable mostly for cross-country but hardy enough for lighter trail duty and fast-rolling mountain bike set ups.

Dissector

Dissector was developed in partnership with Troy Brosnan to balance fast rolling centre knobs with sharp braking edges. The 3C MaxxTerra compound, Wide Trail casing and EXO or DoubleDown protections make it ideal for use on rear wheels, or both wheels when you're churning through dry, dusty, loose, or rock-strewn terrain. Better suited for trail and enduro rides.
