The original Crossmark set the standard for cleaning fast, technical hardpack, and its successor looks to be even better. The Maxxis Crossmark II EXO/TR 29in Tire boasts the same tightly packed, fast-rolling center knob strip as its predecessor, with updated side knobs and overall tread pattern for even better cornering and grip whether you're on buffed out, smooth singletrack or shredding dry, dust-covered hardpack.In addition to that fast-rolling center ridge and grippy side knobs, Maxxis includes EXO sidewall protection for increased durability and a tubeless-ready bead so you can lose the tube and drop the pressure for a smoother, pinch-flat-free ride.
