The Cross 1300 is designed for those who churn with the peloton, and cruise the singletrack. Light on its tires and sturdy in its heart, this hybrid's aluminum frame sets you up for a powerful ride, on trails or pavement. Its front suspension fork absorbs whatever rock, divet, or pothole lays before you. Shimano brakes and drivetrain keep your stops on point, and your experience responsive. The 2014 Cross 1300 gets a component overhaul that gives it smoother shifting and an overall lighter set up.
- 7005 aluminum frame ensures rigidity while maintaining low weight and keeps the cost reasonable
- Tapered head tube is wider at the bottom for better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness offers direct, reactive steering
- Shocks provide 60mm of travel to absorb bumps on roads or trails
- Front suspension combined with large 700C nobby tires let it roll smoothly like a road bike, but give it the trail capability of a mountain bike
- Shimano (V-brake rim brakes) provide great stopping power
- Continuous cable housing so dirt and grit can't get in to affect shifting performance
- 24-speed Shimano® drivetrain is equipped with light, durable components
