Cyclocross racing is tough “ it's kind of the whole point of it, after all. That's why, with the Cross Race Pro, we chose Shimano's off-road specific GRX 2x11 transmission. It's got the range, precision and durability to handle tough racing in the mud. Paired with Shimano 105 disc brakes for all-weather stopping control, it's an unbeatable combination. Throw in the lightweight, 'cross-specific aluminium frame, carbon fork and CUBE wheelset with Newmen hubs, and you're onto a winner.The Cross Race's aluminium frame is a breed apart. Designed to be both light and tough, we added 12mm thru axles front and rear to ensure that stiffness and steering precision are on the money for race-winning control. A full carbon fork helps filter out high-frequency buzz and vibration, helping you to concentrate to the end of the race. And internal cable routing ensures that your gear shifts remain clean and precise from start to finish, no matter how filthy the conditions.
