Cyclocross Bikes

Built for muddy CX racing cyclocross bikes offer a perfect way to improve your fitness and bike handling skills at the end of the season. The best cyclocross bikes are durable and stiff as well as being reasonably lightweight.

Cyclocross racing: Originally made for a new cycling discipline called cyclocross, CX bikes were adapted from road bikes. This offshoot from road racing is now a very popular sport and a CX bike like the Specialized Crux is adapted to meet the challenges of racing around muddy fields in the off-season.

What is a cyclocross bike? A cross bike like the Cannondale CAADX will typically feature drop handlebars, aggressive geometry, lightweight aluminium or carbon fibre frames with plenty of tyre clearance and treaded tyres for off-road grip. The frame design uses cables that are routed internally or on top of the top tube so you can easily shoulder a CX bike.

Where can I ride a cyclocross bike? Other than the CX racecourse a cyclocross bike is a great choice for winter road and gravel cycling. The best cyclocross bikes also make great commuter, fitness and adventure bikes.
