Crossmark II

Worldwide Cyclery
“The Crossmark II immediately impressed me with how much braking traction and cornering stability it provided. Before I ever got this particular tire out on the trail, I assumed it was going to be fast rolling but also feel a bit loose. I am more accustomed to riding more aggressive tread patterns like the Maxxis DHR II tire just because it is more suited to the type of bikes and terrain I usually ride. With that being said, I was really impressed by what this little tire could do. The ramped center knobs give you very low rolling resistance while maintaining adequate braking traction. When you do get on the brakes hard, the square edge on the back of the center knob is what digs in to the trail surface and gives you braking performance. Mastering both low rolling resistance and braking efficiency is a hard thing to do, and that’s exactly what the Crossmark II does.

The Crossmark II tire should be on your radar for a high performing rear tire on your lightweight trail bike.” – Max Morgan, WorldwideCyclery.com, October 2019

“These tyres hold air and are easy to bead up. They offer fast rolling over hard pack and tar seal which is predominantly what I have to ride on around my location. I am not a downhiller or single track rider more trails and the like. I find these tyres offer good grip and handling even for a heavier rider of the + 100Kg bracket.”

“Quality tyres from Maxxis, quick and quiet on road for winter hardtail commute to work, no serious offroad terrain to conquer just a bit of xc single track and these do the job nicely.”
