When the cyclocross bug really bits, you'll want a bike that's up to the job. That's why we created the Cross Race Pro “ a perfectly balanced, affordable and adaptable machine that's ideal for winter training, racing or exploring beyond smooth tarmac. Our understated Superlite aluminium frameset and carbon fork deliver nimble handling with comfort and pace, backed up by unique design details and the reliability of Shimano's brand new 105 transmission and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. It's ready to ride... and race. Are you?Cyclocross bikes are a breed apart. Stiffness and steering precision are both must-haves, so we added 12mm thru axles front and rear and specced a carbon fork “ with tapered steerer “ that's been specifically designed to cope with the rigours of cyclocross. To add a dose of comfort we made sure that narrow seatstays and the carbon fork blades were capable filtering out vibration. Internal cable routing prevents mud and water from interfering with smooth gear shifting, while the ergonomic top tube is specially designed to make shouldering the bike more comfortable. And of course, the whole chassis makes use of our Superlite Advanced 6061 aluminium alloy and mechanical tube forming process.
