Speedytjop Posted January 19, 2016 Share Hi Guys, does anyone have an idea when the Maxxis Crossmark 2 (http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-505-121-crossmark-ii) will hit South African shores, or has it already, and I am just looking in the wrong places? I love my Crossmark tires and would love to give the new Crossmark 2's a go! ThanksST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTK Posted January 19, 2016 Share Looks like the love child of a crossmark and monorail. Could work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 19, 2016 Share Wow looks good. I want. But I think I'll still only keep it at the rear. Personally think it's still not aggressive enough for the front but would need to test it or read a few reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 19, 2016 Share Am I seeing right on that link, only available in 27.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 19, 2016 Share I saw that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedytjop Posted January 19, 2016 Share Sadly only 27.5, for now hopefully, I too only saw that after I made this post, my bad, it probably means the Crossmark II has been released recently. I did contact them with regards to 29ers. I will keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsup! Posted October 17, 2018 Share Hi All Does anyone have an opinion on the Crossmark 2 EXO 2.35 29er now that they have been available for a while?I am looking to replace my tires and want something strong but also doing a bit of commuting so dont want tires that are too expensive for now. Was looking at the Crossmark 2 for front a rear. I would definitely not go with 2.1 on front, but not sure if 2.35 will give enough grip. Currently have Schwable nobbly nic front and back that came standard with the bike, but they are not snakeskin and I have had too many issues with them as the sidewalls leak and "soft" punctures that dont seal too well (partly due to lack of sealant maintenance to be fair) .I love Schwable in general from a performance perspective in general but a bit expensive when adding some commuting into the mix.I dont need as much grip as the nobbly nic front and back that I am currently running for my type of riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted October 17, 2018 Share If you ever drive through Paarl, let me know. I have a used set of 2.1 Crossmarks just taking up space that you can take off my hands. The one probably has about 500km left, but the other one still has 1000km+ tread left. You can use them at the back and just buy a 2.35 for the front. I switched to Maxxis skinwalls 2.2 ikon at the back and a 2.4 ardent at the front two months ago, and I won't be switching back!! Love the grip of that 2.4 up front on descents! When I commute I just run the pressures a bit higher. Done over 2000km on them now, the Ikon can probably go another 1500km, but the Ardent at least another 3000km. bullet77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsup! Posted October 17, 2018 Share Thank you for the offer but not keen on the 2.1 I was considering the Icon / Ardent combo, or Crossmark 2.3 / Ardent combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDL Posted October 17, 2018 Share I have the cross mark 2 on my anthem. Love it, just feels heavier somehow than the original, although I have no science to back that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingPong Posted October 17, 2018 Share Crossmark II's are absolutely bullet proof IMHO. Have been running them on my hard tail training bike for a while now. Front and back 2.3 EXO. They are cheap as chips in the Maxxis range and work well tubeless. I see CL has a promo on but it looks like the old Crossmark and not the II'S so not sure of the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted October 17, 2018 Share I miss JB. This would be the point where he moans about how a Swiss flag on a tyre tread is the biggest undercover conspiracy since Armstrong went for a stroll (I'm not talking about Lance) mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingPong Posted October 18, 2018 Share I saw that, what's up with the pic? Is it a cut and paste job of someone else's tire caus I have not seen it on a Maxxis before. The little yellow emblem next to it is also used by Mavic on some of their tires. Not that Mavic make their own tires as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
