Product Details

The Crossroads is your companion to a better, fitter, and happier you—whether it be along the road or dirt path. It features a comfortable, upright geometry, and reflective elements that increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.

On this Crossroads, you'll find Nimbus II Armadillo Reflect tires that all but eliminate flat tires, while still providing plenty of traction. Meanwhile, a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain handles shifting duties with ease.

The sturdy A1 Premium Aluminum frame, combined with a steel fork and rack/fender mounts, delivers reliable handling for a confident ride and plenty of options for carrying your goodies.
For the Crossroads, we devoted ourselves to achieving the perfect geometry for comfort and performance over a diverse set of riding styles, ultimately making it a purpose-built machine to help you stay fit and healthy.
Body Geometry touchpoints take the sting out of saddle time with their ergonomically designed, and scientifically tested, shapes.
Reflective elements throughout the frame and components increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
Mechanical disc brakes provide ample stopping power in any condition without the hassle of brake bleeds.

Definitely More than I Expected

All I really wanted was a comfortable bike for daily fitness riding. What this Specialized 2.0 gave me are a series of surprises. I'm 75 and hadn't ridden since a crash on my Gitane back in the '70's. Man, how far bikes have come! Precision shifting with finger clicks. Predictable, solid disc braking. She rolls smoothly with great tires and good gearing setup. And I'm able to get a good workout without my back acting up because of the upright riding position. At my age a step-through might have been a better choice, but this 2.0 has the look I want in a bike. It came with platform pedals which were a bit slippery when wet so I did an upgrade, the only mechanical change I've made. Try one - you won't regret it.

Great Cruiser/Commuter/Fun!

Finally made the switch from my old mountain bike to a hybrid. Found the Crossroads at my local bike shop and loved it from the first ride. The geometry and the larger volume tires are the greatest strengths. It allows for a comfortable upright riding position while still being easy on the backside. I have a couple hundred miles on mine now and it rides like the day I bought it. My only suggestion would be to swap out the suspension seatpost for a standard post. It makes it more difficult to find the right seat height due to the bit of compression and isn't necessary, because the stock saddle is excellent. This bike has brought back my love for cycling.

Crossroads 2.0 More than Expected

I have only ridden my new Crossroads 2.0 about 50 miles but I can already conclude this is a great bike. I ride about 30 minutes every few days with the family as a means to maintain fitness. I am impressed with the smoothness of the ride and gear shifting, as well as the overall quality of the build. I tried to keep my wife from taking it for a test spin because I knew what would happen--now she wants to swap bikes. This is the first Specialized we have owned but I can tell that it won't be the last.
