When we set out to design a new cross rig we didnt just want to make another adventure bike with added tire clearance—we knew we had to create a purebred racing steed that was fast confident lightweight & rides like no other cross bike out there. & sure with multiple Cyclocross World Championships to its name the Cru X has more than proven itself in cross but were proud to say that this Cru X takes the legacy to a whole different level. Starting 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. After all frame weight becomes irrelevant when its covered in 10 pounds of mud.
