Crossmark II

The Maxxis Crossmark II is a one of the faster-rolling cross-country (XC) mountain bike tyre designed for speed on hardpack and intermediate terrain. It's an evolution of the original Crossmark, with improved cornering and braking performance while maintaining its hallmark low rolling resistance.

The Maxxis Crossmark II is a top choice for riders who want XC speed with improved cornering and braking over the original. Ideal for racing and training on dry, fast, and moderately loose terrain, it strikes a great balance between speed and control.

Key features

• Continuous center ridge: Ensures minimal rolling resistance on hardpack surfaces and boosts speed on straightaways.
• Revised side knobs: Improved side knob spacing and design for better cornering traction compared to the original Crossmark.
• Versatile tread pattern: Optimised for dry to moderately loose conditions with enhanced braking and climbing grip.
• EXO protection (optional): Select models feature EXO sidewall protection for added durability in rocky or rough terrain.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Available in tubeless-ready versions for lower pressures, reduced flats, and better traction.
• Wide range of sizes: Available in 26', 27.5', and 29' diameters in various widths (e.g., 2.1', 2.25', 2.35').

Ideal for

• Cross-country riders: Especially suited for racers and riders looking for efficiency and speed on XC trails.
• Hardpack & dry trails: Excels on firm, fast terrain with predictable performance in corners and straights.
• Light trail riding: Can handle moderate trail use where speed and efficiency are more important than aggressive traction.
• Front or rear use: Often used as a rear tyre paired with a more aggressive front tyre for grip-focused setups.
