The Maxxcross MX IT is an intermediate motocross tire that features a dual compound tread pattern with long and varied tread pitches. The front (pictured) tire features Maxxis’ standard IT compound for the base of the knobs, with a soft cap layer of rubber across the center to absorb vibration and enhance braking traction. The rear tire’s center tread knobs feature a softer compound than the shoulders for additional traction and stability.
