Fast rolling on hardpack with versatile trail grip.
The Maxxis Crossmark II is a wire-bead mountain bike tyre for cross-country and lighter trail riding. Closely spaced centre knobs help it roll quickly on firm ground, while the tread provides grip for braking and cornering.
More open spacing around the side knobs helps the tyre grip through turns. It can be fitted to either the front or rear wheel.

Inner Tube Required

Who Is It For?
The Crossmark II suits riders looking for a fast-rolling tyre for firm trails, gravel paths and general cross-country riding. It’s a practical option for riders who want pedalling efficiency with grip for corners and braking.
Our Thoughts
If most of your riding is on dry, firm surfaces, the Crossmark II offers a useful balance of rolling speed and cornering grip. For deep mud or loose, aggressive trails, a more open and pronounced tread may be a better choice.
