Cyclo-cross Bikes

A Cyclo-cross Bike is similar to a Road Bike in that it will have drop handle bars and a classic frame for a stealthy aerodynamic profile … but this is where the similarities end. Unique to cross bikes are thicker knobby tires for mud and loose gravel, and counter levered brakes or disc brakes for mud clearance and stopping power.

A Cycle-cross bike is a great choice for anyone who wants a light bike to ride on rural roads or rail-trails and competitive or professional racers. In fact, Cycle-cross racing has been an off season go-to for many road racers, and Ontario has a very active cycle-cross racing scene. If the sound of this gets your adrenaline pumping, you’ll want to check out the many Cycle-cross competitions in Ontario, including Halton Hills’ well known competition.
