Cube Cross Race 2016 Cyclocross bike white/red

Long live Cyclocross - the traditionalist's world made up of mud, sections of running, and working up a sweat in the depths of winter. We developed the Cross Race specifically for this role, adding low-maintenance disc brakes. With reliable, all-weather stoppers the Cross Race is a sound choice for everything from competition use to training rides... or even just for sprinting off the lights when they turn green on the daily commute.

Frame

No compromise. This cyclocross bike has a light but stable frame built from double butted Superlite Advanced 6061 aluminium, its tubes optimised further by using elaborate mechanical forming. It all adds up to a frame that's torsionally very stiff, but also comfortable thanks to a seat post diameter of 27.2mm and a vibration absorbing carbon fork. The race-ready geometry provides a perfectly balanced ride position, ensuring handling that's the perfect blend of agile and stable - ideal for everything from racing to cross-country rides and training. The CUBE Cross Race Disc carbon fork, with its razor-sharp steering and superb comfort, is a perfect match.

Components

A crosser must have reliable components. That's why we chose Shimano's legendarily precise 105 groupset in combinatio with the BR-R317 mechanical disc brake system. Fitting 160mm brake rotors front and rear ensures safe stopping even in filthy conditions, while Fulcrum's Racing 77 CX wheels will stand up to rough terrain. We also added Schwalbe's Racing Ralph tyres, ensuring the best possible off-road grip without hindering forward progress.
