The Roger is the cyclocross bike you may not have been expecting: It has only one gear. But wait, it makes sense: You don’t have to worry about shifting in the ’cross muck, and when you can’t pedal the Roger’s 48x17 gear anymore, its lack of derailleurs and extra cogs makes the weight that much easier to shoulder and run with. Away from the race course, the Roger is just plain fun to ride, with disc brakes to keep you in control. Can a single-speed cyclocross bike put you in touch with your inner spinning guru? Roger that.
Highlights: Easton Ultralite aluminum frame. Bianchi carbon fork. Avid disc brakes. WTB Single-Duty SX24 wheels and Cross Wolf Race 700x32C tires.
