Product Details

The CruX is a cross beast, with race-optimized geometry, tapered head tube, internal cable routing, and an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio to power through the nastiest courses. Roval Pavé SL wheels and SRAM Apex 10-speed complete the uber-tough, race-ready Expert package.

Cross racing-specific E5 alloy frame with tapered head tube, integrated headset, and OSBB is ultra-tough, shaped top tube provides easy shouldering
FACT carbon fork with tapered steerer provides best balance of strength, stiffness, and compliance for rough terrain
The Roval Pavé SL wheelset comes ready to rock, with an E5 alloy mid-profile aero rim, cold-forged alloy 5-spoke high flange hubs, and DT aero spokes.
SRAM Force 10-speed shifters employ DoubleTap technology for simple, intuitive shifting and reach adjustment for perfect fit
BG Phenom Gel saddle uses gel padding and carbon-reinforced shell for comfort and strength, with a rounded tail for easy on and off
TRP EuroX cantilever brakes with adjustment for solid control and reliability in the nasty stuff
