Sprinter vs Crossmark II review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Sprinter vs Maxxis Crossmark II tyres. Both manufactured by different brands, Continental and Maxxis respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Continental Sprinter is better for Race Tires activities, Maxxis Crossmark II is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to mountain activities.

Sprinter

Crossmark II

The robust sprinter, created for extended rides and training

XC speed with control

Efficient tires for criteriums or triathlon where the tires winning characteristics will shine through. Neutral slick profile for a direct feel with the road.Full speed ahead!

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. A great choice if you want to go fast everywhere.

Features

SafetySystem Breaker
Puncture protection with a system
The SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlarreinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tire adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the carcass against foreign objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tire. Tires with the SafetySystem Breaker also provide good comfort properties.
