Holy Roller vs Minion SS review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Maxxis Holy Roller vs Maxxis Minion SS tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Maxxis, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Maxxis Holy Roller is better for bmx activities, Maxxis Minion SS is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to mountain activities.

Holy Roller

Minion SS

Dirt-to-pavement versatility.

Semi-slick for aggressive riding

The Maxxis Holy Roller uses an inverted knob design making it a versatile performer from dirt to pavement.

The Maxxis Minion SS (Semi Slick) takes the classic DHF tread design and shaves down the center knobs to vastly improve rolling speed. Use the Minion SS as a rear tire paired with a Dissector, Minion DHF, or Assegai front tire.

Technologies

Double Down (DD) DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tire, but in a lighter package.
EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
