Best For
The Developing Racer
If you're working your way up through amateur motocross and need a tire that's consistent from practice day to race day, the Maxxcross IT delivers. Predictable handling helps you focus on building technique rather than second-guessing your rubber.
Perfect Match
The Practice Regular
Riders who are at the track every weekend putting in serious moto time will appreciate how far this tire goes without losing its character. Strong wear life and steady grip lap after lap make it the smart pick for high-volume track days.
Perfect Match
The Soft-Terrain Specialist
If loamy, muddy, or soft soil is your typical riding environment, the IT's knob spacing isn't optimized for that kind of self-cleaning, deep-bite performance. A dedicated soft-terrain tire will serve you significantly better when conditions get greasy.

Frequently Asked
This tire is at home on intermediate to hardpack surfaces — think packed clay, blue-groove hardpack, and terrain that transitions as the day progresses. Its versatile knob design keeps steering response consistent whether you're hitting fresh morning dirt or roughed-up afternoon lines.
Wear life is one of this tire's strongest selling points. Riders regularly get 8–10 practice sessions or several race weekends out of a set — more than many competing intermediate tires. The compound is formulated to hold onto its grip characteristics even as the knobs visibly wear down.
It can manage occasional soft patches, but it's not optimized for loamy or muddy terrain. If soft conditions are the norm where you ride, the Maxxis MaxxCross SI — with its wider knob spacing and aggressive self-cleaning design — is the better tool for the job.
Yes — the Maxxcross IT's forgiving, predictable feel makes it a solid choice for newer riders still dialing in their technique. Add in the durability factor and you won't be burning through tires while you're still in the learning phase.
Running matched front and rear gives you the most consistent, balanced handling — especially at higher speeds and in corners. If you mix brands or models, make sure whatever you pair it with is designed for the same terrain type to avoid mismatched feedback between ends.
A good baseline is 12–14 PSI, but your ideal pressure will depend on your weight, riding style, and how the track is set up that day. Dial it up or down in 1 PSI increments — lower pressure adds grip but increases pinch flat risk, while higher pressure extends tread life at some cost to traction.
