Fuji Cross 1.1 Disc Cyclocross Bike 2015

Fuji Cross 1.1 Disc Cyclocross Bike 2015. If you think the buck stops at carbon fiber when it comes to a CX race bike, then you're in for a surprise. The Fuji Cross 1.1 cyclocross bike is a high performance race bike that features a lightweight and stiff aluminum frame, SRAM Force 1x11 speed components and mechanical disc brakes for one of the best values you'll ever seen on a high end race bike. ABOUT THE FRAME: The Cross 1.1 is built around a frame made from Fuji's superb A6 SL alloy tubing. It's stiff, lightweight, and exceedingly durable. Crashes are pretty common in 'cross, so having a bike that can shrug off a few dings is definitely a plus. But this alloy bike also comes with all the latest high tech features. An integrated tapered 1 12 headtube adds rigidity to the front end, while the PIIS BB86 bottom bracket shell stiffens up the bottom of the bike so all of your power goes into forward movement, instead of frame flex. A high end FC 770 carbon fiber cross fork offers race performance thanks to a tight rake. ABOUT SRAM FORCE CX 1: SRAM has long been a favorite of the 'cross crowd, and for good reason. Their firm roots in making Mountain Bike equipment has leant their road components a reputation for toughness, if not invicibility, in the muddy conditions we encounter ever fall. SRAM Force CX 1 takes it a step further, by introducing an 11th speed and reducing weight. With ZeroLoss shifting and True 22 shifting, you'll get crisp reliable shifts with no chainrub. SRAM Force CX 1 Hydraulic Disc Brakes provide excellent, well modulated stopping power that will be perfectly at home on even the muddiest courses. ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE: Fuji spec'd the Cross 1.1 out right, and didn't skimp on the details. Oval 527 disc clincher wheels are stiff, lightweight and sturdy enough to handle the tough conditions found on most cyclocross courses. They're all wrapped up in premium Challenge Grifo clincher tires, which provide excellent traction and durability. An Oval Concepts 905 carbon seatpost helps the ride feel more supple, and Oval stem, bars and saddle round out the build with quality, dependable parts.
