Product Description
A full double butted titanium frame and carbon fork create a faster and lighter Croix De Fer that retains the all-terrain tenacity this legendary model is famous for. The original gravel bike. Croix de Fer has the same go-anywhere, ride-anything quality and feel that's been ingrained in it's soul since it's inception over 10 years ago. Double butted titanium provides a great blend of strength and compliance, allowing you to spends long hours in the saddle in total comfort. With several handy mounts for racks and mudguards, the frame can be loaded up with all your extra gear, making it the perfect ride for commuting or heading off on a multi-day adventure where you need to carry your essentials yourself. Front and rear 12mm thru axles add stiffness and provide optimal power transfer, while wide 37c WTB tyres provide a plush and comfortable ride, with plenty of tractions when the tracks get slippery. A Shimano GRX 11 speed groupset provides more gearing and terrain options to go further and faster than ever before. With reliable shifting over a wide spread of gears for all terrains, the all new Shimano GRX rear derailleur opens up opportunities to run wider range cassettes and convert to single chainring set up if you want to. Hydraulic disc brakes give you great stopping power and modulation, so you can head out in even the most filthy conditions in full confidence that you're aboard a bike that's up for the job.
