Maxxis Crossmark Reviews

Description: (from maxxis.com)
The CrossMark is the dramatic evolution of the cross country racing tire. The nearly continuous center ridge flies on hardpack, yet has enough spacing to grab wet roots and rocks. The slightly raised ridge of side knobs offers cornering precision never before seen on a tire this fast. 26" and 29" sizes available.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by trek7k   on January 8, 2010   Pros Classic, time tested design combines low rolling resistance with good traction in a variety of conditions. Durable casing and solid construction. Cons This is not a tire for loose, wet, or muddy conditions. Verdict I'm riding the 29er version right now and I really like this tire. reviewed by flamdrag8   on December 14, 2008   Pros Super low rolling resistance. Uber fast. Good cornering. Cons lose some traction on very steep inclines. Verdict I have these front and rear, on both of my xc bikes. I love them!! reviewed by RideorDie   on March 31, 2008   Pros Great traction and cornering!!!!! Very low roll resistance. Cons Weak sidewalls in sharp technical conditions. Verdict I love this tire in low technical conditions when I want to FLY around corners! It doesn't look like you get the traction, but you DO! If you are experienced and lean into turns while you still crank down - this tire rocks for you! If you are going to ride Moab...get a thicker sidewall tire. This tire has a VERY thin sidewall. This is a great tire for the right conditions!
