Crossmark II

Race King ProTection

XC speed with control

First choice for racers

The Crossmark II improves on the speed of its predecessor while improving grip in intermediate conditions. The legendary center ridge still flies on hard pack, and the updated tread pattern provides better braking and cornering over a wide range of trail conditions.
