Cyclo-cross Bikes
Cyclo-cross - competitive cross-country cycling - has been around for a long time but is currently undergoing a real revival in Scotland. Originally devised by road cyclists to help them stay fit in the winter off-season, cyclo-cross is now enjoyed by all types of rider with most events catering for everyone from novices to elite competitors.
Cyclo-cross races are generally held on short circuits which differ from MTB courses; most 'cross circuits cover a variety of surfaces and contain sections where the competitor has to dismount and carry the bike for a short distance. To this end, specialist cyclo-cross bikes have evolved that strike the ideal balance between weight and strength.
Visit the SCX
(Scottish Cyclocross) web site for
more information about 'cross bikes
and races. Walkers Cycling Club is
promoting the Scottish Cyclo-cross
Championship at Irvine in December
2010 - details also on the SCX site.
Giant, Cube and Marin
Cyclo-cross Bikes
With
the sport becoming
increasingly popular
in Ayrshire we decided
the time was right
to introduce a couple
of cyclo-cross bikes
to our range and we
have Giant, Cube and
Marin models in stock.
Just add your pedals
of choice and these
bikes are ready to
race.
