Bikes Designed for the Demands of Cyclocross Cyclocross (CX), is an intense yet short format of riding that has its roots in Europe. It was created with a view to encourage people to race during the cold European winters. These days though, CX races are held on snow, sand and even dirt. These races typically feature obstacles such as stairs, jumps, steep hills and rocks. Given that Cyclocross races are held on natural surfaces (such as sand, mud and grass), man-made obstacles, pavement and steep hills, a standard road bike won’t just cut it. Although a CX bicycle will look just like a standard bike at a glance, a closer look will help you to spot the difference. You need a specialised bike. A Cyclocross bike features a stiff frame that’s responsive and lightweight at the same time offering you an effortless ride around obstacles. Cyclocross bikes usually feature larger tyres and tend to be a bit heavy compared to road bikes yet lighter than mountain bikes. Here are some features of a Cyclocross bike: Geometry – The geometry of a Cyclocross bike is pretty different. The head tube angle is steeper, which allows you to ride the bike at a slower speed when descending. Further, the bottom bracket is higher than usual, which makes it easy to navigate obstacles. Flat Tube Shape – The top tube of a Cyclocross bike is flatter compared to other bikes. This flatness ensures the top tube fits easily on the shoulder, which is crucial for shouldering, a skill you will need when dismounting and carrying the bike through an obstacle. Tyre Clearance – The tyres of a Cyclocross bike typically offer wide clearance – as much as 40c. Larger tyres offer better stability, traction and resistance to punctures.
