Product Details
The Maxxcross Desert IT is Maxxis's desert-racing variant of the standard Maxxcross IT, built for high-speed off-road riding on rocky, sandy, and hardpack terrain. It shares the IT's tread pattern but uses a compound specially engineered to resist chipping and cutting from sharp rocks. A stiffer carcass reduces flex and the chance of pinched tubes, while tall knobs are tuned for traction in loose sand. It is not designed for mud, since the knob spacing does not self-clean well in wet conditions.
- Stiffer tire carcass minimizes flex, reducing the chance of pinched tubes
- Tall knob design improves traction when racing in sandy conditions
- Tread compound optimized for longevity and to perform across a wide variety of desert terrains
