MAXXCROSS MX-IH
NEXT-GENERATION INTERMEDIATE – HARD

THE AUSTRALIAN-SPEC, MX-IH REAR
TYRE DEVELOPED BY TODD WATERS.
The MX-IH 120/90-18 tyre has been built from the ground up! Developed on home
soil, the new tyre has a special Australian specification marking visible on the sidewall.
THE SHORT STORY
We tasked Todd Waters with developing a 120/90-18 Int-Hard Terrain rear tyre for enduro. The criteria (1.) would give him the best racing performance (2.) last in Australia’s hard, fast & rocky terrain. Waters worked closely with Taiwanese MAXXIS engineers & technicians to get the performance exactly where he wanted it. Waters signed off on the final development tyre and it is now available at dealers nation-wide.
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Throughout the development process we paid particular attention to:
• Acceleration on hard / blue-groove terrain
• Predictability under heavy breaking
• Predictability when pounding rock gardens
• Equal performance with Mousse or Tube
THE RESULTS
We combined our lightweight MX-IH motocross tyre with a strong carcass construction and durable rubber compound for both on and off-road use. The tyre features a pliable sidewall, that acts like dampening, which provides predictable handling through rock gardens and a planted feeling under heavy braking where you need the tyre to flatten out. The new rubber compound and wide tread pattern works together to provide great straight-line traction and long wear life over high-speed trails. All this combined, results in a lightweight off-road tyre that accelerates hard out of turns, is very predictable under braking, hooks up in hard / dusty conditions and holds up in hard rocky terrain.
AUSTRALIAN 4-DAY ENDURO SUCCESS
Todd Waters used this tyre at the 2022 Australian Four-Day Enduro (A4DE) in Erica, VIC. Waters proved competitive in all tests, claiming E2 and Outright honors on the final day before finishing 2nd overall in the E2 Class.
