Maxxis Crossmark II Tire

This tire is optimized for dry and medium conditions. Its fast-rolling center ridge performs best on hardpack surfaces, while the updated side lugs provide the necessary grip for loose-over-hard and mixed terrain.

The Crossmark II is designed primarily for speed on dry, hardpack trails. While it handles varied dirt surfaces well, it is not a dedicated mud tire and may struggle to clear thick, sticky mud compared to tires with more widely spaced knobs.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and weight. It is robust enough to handle trail debris and resist punctures, while still offering enough suppleness to conform to the trail for a predictable feel.

This specific model features a wire bead. While wire beads are generally heavier than folding Kevlar beads, they are highly durable and provide a very secure, consistent fit on the rim.

Yes, this tire is designed for a 26-inch wheel diameter with an ISO diameter of 559 mm. As long as your rim is compatible with a 2.1-inch width, it will fit your standard 26-inch mountain bike setup.
