Its no secret that cross doesnt play favourites out on the course—only the strong survive. & when it comes to bikes this is especially true. Thats why our Cru X Elite X1 was built to deliver a no-nonsense approach to the discipline of cyclocross. 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 at a scant 900 grams for a 56cm—over 400 grams lighter than the previous frameset. A light & stiff frame alone isn’t useful in a cross race if it isn’t 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 centimetres for more exposed seatpost & therefore 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 design 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 millimetres 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 it’s covered in 10 pounds of mud. The Cru X Elite X1 comes equipped with a spec that lets you stay focused on the race—a SRAM Rival 1 hydraulic disc groupset lightweight & durable Roval SLX 24 clincher disc wheels & 2 Bliss Ready tires. Our FACT 11r carbon frame features a race-ready cross geometry & comes equipped with thru-axles 142mm rear spacing & takes advantage of our highest quality carbon production methods in order to create a bike thats as responsive as it is lightweight. The internally routed S-Works FACT carbon disc fork features a thru-axle design that increases steering response & rider input for the tight turns & the all-out efforts cross demands. SRAM Rival shift levers deliver reliable shifting in nasty conditions which is furthered by a one-by shift setup that makes dropping chains on the course a thing of the past. Say goodbye to front derailleurs & hello to hassle-free racing.

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.
