CROSS
SL
No road too long, no mountain too steep. When that's your attitude to riding, you know you've caught the bug - and that you need a bike like the Cross SL. This no-compromise, light and lively machine sets a new benchmark for low weight and premium spec amongst its peers. Pairing only the finest of components with a frame designed for speed and comfort, our engineers and designers left no stone unturned in their quest for the ultimate all-rounder. The 2x11 Shimano XT and XTR transmission is peerless in shifting precision, while hydraulic Shimano XT disc brakes and Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres work together to deliver ultimate stopping power in all weathers. Throw in the RockShox Paragon Gold air sprung fork for mile-munching comfort, and it's hard to see how we could improve on the Cross SL. It's in a class of one.

GEOMETRY
A high performance bike like the Cross SL demands a high performance frame. The double butted aluminium chassis - made with our own premium quality aluminium alloy tubes - is packed full of technical highlights. Using our Smooth Welding technology throughout contributes to an almost organic look, one frame tube blending into the next for the ultimate in good looks, low weight and high strength. The tapered head tube makes for a stiff, precise-steering frame that goes exactly where you point it, no matter how rough the road. 3D forged dropouts contribute to superb torsional rigidity, providing the Cross SL with explosive acceleration whenever you need it. They're also the mounting point for mudguards, a luggage rack and our Easy Mount kickstand. And we've routed all the cables iternally, partly to match the frame's sleek good looks, and partly so that your gear shifts will stay smoother for longer. Truly, the devil is in the detail.
