Maxxis Crossmark II

This tire is built for riders who treat trail speed as a priority, using a fast-rolling center ridge to keep momentum high on hardpack. You sacrifice some aggressive bite in deep mud, but you gain a predictable, confidence-inspiring grip when leaning into corners on mixed terrain.
