Cyclo-cross Bikes

Cyclo-cross - competitive cross-country cycling - has been around for a long time but has recently undergone 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) website for more information about 'cross bikes and races.
