CYCLOCROSS
FOR
CHAMPIONS

Progress never sleeps. The Cross Race C:68X frame was developed in conjunction with the Charles Liégeois Roastery CX cyclocross team, and also took inspiration from our high-end carbon race bikes. The result is a perfectly honed structure, crafted from our top-end C:68X® carbon material for a frame that weighs less than 900g – 200g lighter than any cyclocross frame we've built before. It's still just as strong, just as stiff and just as easy to pick up and carry. It's just very, very light. An integrated seatpost clamp, Di2 cable-routing option and integrated stem with cables routed through the headset complete the package. Ready for the podium?

Highlights

Cyclocross racing demands finesse, fitness and a bike that can stand up to the rigours of full-bore riding in the mud. With its premium carbon frame, stunning matrixblack'n'blue paint finish and carefully selected components, the Cross Race C:68X SLT has that last requirement nailed. The first two are up to you.

Got mud running through your veins? The Cross Race C:68X SLT is what you need to get your heart pumping. With its ultra-light frame made from our premium C:68X® carbon, integrated Cross Race C:68X ICR Aero Cockpit System and Newmen Advanced SL X.R.36 Vonoa carbon wheelset, it's the featherweight precision instrument you need to cut through both the mud and competition. Sram's precise, reliable Sram Red AXS gears deliver on-demand shifts in any conditions, and Sram Red AXS hydraulic disc brakes with Schwalbe's X-One RX tyres ensure you're always in control. Let's race!

frame

C:68X® Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology, Full Internal Cable Routing, Flat Mount Disc, 12x142mm, AXH

Combining all our expertise from carbon frame building into the ultimate material, C:68X® carbon uses the optimum blend of fibre and nano particle-infused resin. Precision Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing means we can avoid bonded sleeves or inserts, too. It's the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.

Our Integrated Seatpost Clamp is all part of our quest to sweat the details, so that you can reap the rewards. Its minimalist design suits the frame's pared-back aesthetic. And, of course, that's important – because why wouldn't you want your bike to look great? But it also saves a few grammes too. And that matters just as much...

Full Internal Cable Routing takes the clutter of external cables and consigns it to the past. We started from scratch, designing frame and handlebars to accept gear and brake cables internally so that nothing interrupts the bike's clean lines. It's neater, it's more aero, it protects cables from damage and it reduces maintenance. All the wins.

Cyclocross Race Geometry is all about threading that fine line between speed and control, to give you the best possible chance of ending up on the podium. With handling that's quick to respond to rapidly changing conditions but stable enough to help keep you upright and rolling, it's all you need for race day.

If you want to race, there are rules. We know that, which is why all our road race bikes that could be used for racing are fully compliant with UCI regulations on bicycle design and construction. We've created a full range of high performance machines that follow the rules, so you can just concentrate on your performance...

Weight matters when you're chasing every fraction of a second. That's why our one-piece carbon cockpit has been carefully designed to mimic the range of riding positions available with a traditional stem and handlebar combo, but with a substantial weight saving. Light, strong and elegant, it's another way of making every watt count.

We know that you want to keep track of your performance stats. It's important, which is why we designed a neat, unobtrusive mount for your bike computer. Now you can record and access data wherever you ride, safe in the knowledge that your device is securely mounted and out of harm's way.

With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
