When it comes to cyclocross the Cru X Expert has everything you need & nothing that you dont. It features the same world-championship-winning geometry & carbon layup as its S-Works cousin so ultra-responsive handling & punchy accelerations are covered. Youll also find that these traits are accentuated by the lightweight & extremely stiff FACT 11r carbon fiber construction while course control is furthered through its one-by design hydraulic disc brakes & front/rear thru-axles. Altogether its a bike thats guaranteed to take your performance to new heights this season. Beginning with the frame we implemented our rider-first engineered technology that was first introduced on our tarmacs. Using size-specific tubes & layups this technology allows the Cru X to feature the same ride characteristics across every size in the range. Not only this but it also allowed us to significantly drop the frame weight so the Cru X now comes in around a scant 900 grams for a 56cm (*dependent on frame size & color)over 400 grams lighter than the previous frameset. A light & stiff frame alone isnt useful in a cross race if it isnt compliant however which is why the new Cru X also combines stiffness & compliance in all the right places. & to assist with the latter we lowered the seat collar by two centimeters for more exposed seatpost & cushion for big hits. We also know that cyclocross races are often won in the corners & over the barriers which is why the Cru X geometry takes this into account. The top tube has been designed for easy shouldering when youre hopping off to clear barriers as it features a large opening to the front triangle & a flat bottom. For stability in the corners & on off-camber sections the geometry has a low bottom bracket & a sharp front-end. This combination also helps to initiate corners regardless of the terrain. With maximum mud-shedding ability in mind we included eight millimeters of clearance on all sides of a 33mm tire providing plenty of clearance for muddy conditions. Its awesome to have a light bike after all but frame weight becomes irrelevant when its covered in 10 pounds of mud. It also comes with a reliable SRAM force 1 hydraulic disc groupset lightweight & durable Roval SLX 24 clincher disc wheels & 2bliss ready tires that hookup over nasty terrain. Our FACT 11r carbon frame features a race-ready cross geometry, & comes equipped with thru-axles, 142mm rear spacing, & it takes advantage of our highest quality carbon production methods in order to create a bike thats as responsive as it is lightweight. Yep, thats rightcarbon wheels on an expert-level bike. The Roval c 38 disc carbon wheels bring performance to the masses. Theyre lightweight, durable, & ready for just about anything. Srams force 1 delivers smooth, crisp shifts, along with plenty of stopping power via their hydraulic disc brakes. ...
