We built the cross series so you could take your bike further and ride longer occasional off the beaten track adventures or simply negotiating the pot hole ridden urban landscape all the cross bikes use a lightweight frame and a quality suntour suspension fork to keep the ride smooth a suspension seatpost is the icing on the cake for pleasant days in the saddle all the same fantastic features as the cross 1 but upgraded shimano 27 speed altus gears and powerful promax solve disc brakes
