The cross bike is a rare breed; A winter trainer, a mud racer, a mountain bike and everything in between. Curvy rear stays look great and provide ample tire and mud clearance. A steel fork absorbs big bumps in stride. Expect great performance and durability whether enduring a grueling training regiment or a long rough commute. Can’t ride with cinders on the shoulder or any dirt roads near your house? The cross bike is the answer.
You’ll notice the bottom bracket drop on these bikes is a normal road drop thus lowering the center of gravity. This improves cornering, descending and stand-over height debunking the myth that cross bikes require a high bottom bracket.
