The Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 60 TPI Black is a fast-rolling cross-country mountain bike tyre designed for riders who want to carry speed while still having dependable traction for braking and cornering. Building on the popular Crossmark tread design, the Crossmark II combines a fast-rolling centre ridge with an updated tread pattern that provides improved control across a wider range of XC trail conditions.
With its 26-inch wheel size, 2.25-inch width and 60 TPI casing, the Crossmark II is a practical choice for older 26-inch mountain bikes, XC bikes and riders looking for a reliable tyre for fast trail riding.
The Crossmark II is designed around cross-country riding and XC racing, with its tread pattern focused on maintaining speed across hardpack while providing additional grip when the trail becomes more demanding.
Maxxis describes the Crossmark II as having a near-continuous centre ridge that rolls quickly in dry conditions, while the updated tread provides improved braking and cornering performance.
This makes the Crossmark II particularly well suited to riders who value speed but don’t want to sacrifice all-round trail control.
One of the most recognisable features of the Crossmark II is its centre tread.
The tightly packed centre knobs are designed to roll quickly across hardpack surfaces, allowing the tyre to maintain momentum efficiently. This is particularly useful on XC courses and hard-packed trails where maintaining speed between corners and technical sections can make a noticeable difference.
The fast-rolling characteristics also make the Crossmark II suitable for riders who use their mountain bike for fitness rides, training and general recreational riding.
While the centre of the tyre focuses on rolling speed, the outer tread is designed to provide additional control.
The Crossmark II uses an open-side knob design intended to improve cornering performance, while the revised tread pattern provides better braking and control across intermediate conditions.
This combination gives the tyre a useful balance for riders who regularly move between hardpack, loose-over-hard and mixed XC terrain.
The 26 x 2.25 size is a popular option for 26-inch mountain bikes. With a nominal width of 2.25 inches, the tyre provides a useful amount of volume while retaining the responsive characteristics expected from an XC-oriented tyre.
The current Maxxis specification lists the 26 x 2.25 Crossmark II as 57-559 ETRTO, making it important to check your existing tyre and wheel specifications before purchasing.
Always confirm that your frame, fork and rim have sufficient clearance for a 2.25-inch tyre.
The 60 TPI casing provides a practical balance between tyre construction, durability and ride characteristics.
For an XC and general mountain bike tyre, 60 TPI is a versatile casing specification that works well for riders who want a dependable tyre for regular trail use.
The 26 x 2.25 Crossmark II is also available with different construction options, so it is important to check the exact version when purchasing. The EXO/TR version combines the 60 TPI casing with EXO protection and Tubeless Ready technology.
The Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 EXO/TR uses a Dual compound rubber construction.
The dual-compound design is intended to balance rolling performance with grip and durability, making it suitable for riders who want a tyre that can handle regular training and trail riding rather than being focused solely on a single race-day characteristic.
The EXO version of the Crossmark II includes EXO sidewall protection, providing additional resistance against cuts and abrasions.
This is particularly useful when riding mountain bike trails where rocks, roots and sharp trail edges can put additional stress on the tyre sidewalls.
The added protection makes the Crossmark II a practical choice for riders who want a balance between XC performance and everyday durability.
The Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 EXO/TR is Tubeless Ready, allowing it to be used with a compatible tubeless rim and sealant setup.
A tubeless setup can allow riders to run appropriate lower pressures for increased traction and comfort while reducing the risk of traditional tube pinch flats.
Always ensure your rim and tyre are compatible before attempting a tubeless installation, and follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation and pressure guidelines.
The Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 60 TPI is well suited to:
Maxxis lists the Crossmark II for dry to mixed XC trail conditions and recommends it for either front or rear installation.
Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 60 TPI Black:
The Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 is a strong choice for riders looking for a fast and versatile XC tyre.
Its tightly packed centre tread helps it roll quickly over hardpack, while the more open side tread provides additional traction when cornering and braking. The 60 TPI casing, Dual compound rubber and EXO protection give the tyre a practical balance for regular MTB use.
For riders still running a 26-inch mountain bike, the Crossmark II offers a modern XC tread design in a size that fits compatible 26-inch wheels.
Upgrade your 26-inch mountain bike with the Maxxis Crossmark II 26 x 2.25 60 TPI Black. Designed for speed, control and versatile XC performance, it is an excellent option for riders who want a fast-rolling tyre that can handle everything from hardpack trails to mixed XC terrain.
With its 60 TPI casing, Dual compound, EXO protection and Tubeless Ready construction, the Crossmark II offers a well-rounded package for training, racing and everyday mountain biking.
