What technology does it use in its construction?
The Crossmark II uses the popular intermediate EXO casing from Maxxis to provide all round protection for the majority of terrains. They have linked this up with the durable and long lasting Dual Compound with harder rubber in the middle and softer on the edges.
What is the intended use?
The Maxxis Crossmark II is a multi-discipline tyre which works well in a range of terrains. The tread is quite low profile so it’s best suited to hardpack trails and dry conditions.
Our verdict
Much more of a cross country or casual trail ride tyre than a heavy enduro hitter, but still ideal as a do-it-all tyre on your bike you take everywhere. Lightweight and fast in the dry, with quality cornering grip when it’s needed.
