For the build it take a no-nonsense approach to performance utilizing a mix of components from Shimano Praxis and Tektro so youll benefit from a durability-first design when the terrain gets rough.
Further along these lines youll find hassle-free mechanical disc brakes and Tracer Sport tires that were hand-selected for their all-condition abilities. So start practicing your barrier hops because this bike will be ready to go just as soon as you are.
The frame was constructed from our E5 Premium Aluminum in order to provide a stiff lightweight and responsive frame thats purpose-built to withstand the rigorous demands of cyclocross. Youll find that the tubing is also formed to make shouldering the bike a breeze while the semi-compact geometry creates predictable handling and explosive accelerations in the absolute worst of conditions.
The FACT carbon disc fork was designed to increase steering response and rider input for the tight turns and all-out efforts demanded in CX.
The Tracer Sport tires have a fast tread for all-around cyclocross riding and racing. This tread covers all courses with center knobs to provide ample traction and siped shoulder knobs that adapt to hard and loose ground. Its also lightweight making it easy to accelerate.
