When we set out to make an ultimate race bike, everybody wins. Exhibit CC is right here in the form of the Cross Concept, designed from the ground up to be your best choice in a cyclocross bike. Its frame, a combination of Scandium 7000 tubes with a carbon rear triangle, is ever so light (skirting the 3-pound barrier), stiff, and responsive, with intelligent details such as a flat top tube area for shouldering. You also get a component line-up that reads like a ’cross wish list. The bike begs to be ridden fast, so much so that you’ll want to switch the tires when the season is over and keep riding it on the road. Go right ahead.
Highlights: Scandium 7000 main triangle with carbon stays. Bianchi carbon cyclocross fork with integrated headset. Shimano Ultegra 20-speed shifting. Cane Creek Strados wheels with WTB Cross Wolf Race tires.
