Ho scelto di installarlo sull'posteriore, in quanto all'anteriore preferisco avere una tassellatura laterale più pronunciata che ottimizzi la direzionalità ( nel mio caso monto un Maxxis Ardent Race EVO). Il Crossmark offre un ottima trazione e allo stesso tempo è molto scorrevole. Personalmente lo trovo ottimo per off-road asciutto, strade bianche, terreno compatto ma comunque non troppo fangoso, in quanto per tipologia di tassellatura non scarica a sufficienza, ma non è questa la sua destinazione. Va benissimo anche nei tratti asfaltati, grazie alla fascia centrale a tasselli ravvicinati, tanto da permettere anche medie elevate e con ottimo confort di rotolamento. Sono completamente soddisfatto e lo consiglio. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super pneu *by on Reviewed in France 5 May 2022* Utilisé pour l'arrière, fait une différence nette avec un pneu d'entrée de gamme.
