When the cyclocross bug really bites, 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, but we didn't stop there. Stiffness and steering precision are 'cross must-haves, so we added 12mm thru axles front and rear, and a tapered steerer. Internal cable routing prevents mud and water from interfering with smooth gear shifting race after race, while the ergonomic top tube is specially designed to make shouldering the bike more comfortable. And, of course, it's all powered by Shimano's super-reliable 105 gears, complete with hydraulic disc brakes for assured stopping in even the filthiest of riding conditions. 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 seat stays and the carbon fork blades were capable of 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. Race-ready geometry provides a balanced ride position, ensuring handling that's the perfect blend of agile and stable. Are you ready for race weekend? Because the Cross Race definitely is.
