Maxxis Crossmark II Folding MTB Tire

While the Crossmark II excels on hardpack and intermediate terrain due to its continuous center ridge, it is not designed for deep mud or loose, loamy conditions. If your local trails are frequently wet or soft, you might prefer a tire with more aggressive, widely spaced knobs.

No, the tire is tubeless-ready, meaning it is compatible with tubeless setups, but you will need to purchase sealant, tubeless valves, and rim tape separately to complete the conversion.

EXO is a dense, cut-resistant material added to the sidewalls of the tire. It significantly reduces the risk of punctures and abrasions from sharp rocks or trail debris without adding excessive weight to the tire.

Yes, you can use this tire with a standard inner tube just like any other clincher tire. The tubeless-ready designation simply gives you the option to upgrade to a tubeless system later if you choose.

The dual compound uses a harder rubber in the center for better rolling efficiency and longevity, while a softer rubber on the side knobs provides extra grip when leaning into corners. It offers a balanced feel that works well for cross-country and trail riding.
