THE ULTIMATE STEEL CROIX
New to the range in 2021, Our all-new full-build Reynolds 853 Croix de Fer 50 aims to hit every mark.
Probably the most popular and widely used of all of Reynolds performance-orientated steel offerings; 853 hits that sweet spot of performance, weight and cost. Accept no limitations every tube is 853 creating that unmistakable ride quality! It's matched to our full carbon CGR1 fork that saves around 900-grams over the steel variant, keeping weight low, handling keen and features bottle/Anything Cage mounting points. We've continued that trend throughout the build, using quality components that are proven and will stand the test of time.
Shimano's GRX groupset has become a go-to for gravel bikes, providing dependable shifting, myriad gearing options and longevity at a variety of performance levels. We've chosen their RX600 double chainset with 46/30T chainrings, paired to an 11-34T cassette, which keeps the Croix competitive on road and off. The shifters, hydraulic brake callipers and derailleurs all come from the top-tier RX-810 lineup, saving a little weight and delivering increased shifting and braking performance. At the rear of the bike, there's the ability to run a 45mm tyre on the provided 700c rims, while at the front you can use up to a 40mm tyre. If you'd prefer to run a 650B wheelset, it's 44mm and 40mm.Thru-axles front and rear, tubeless ready rims and tyres, flat mount disc brakes, a third bottle mount and rack and guard mounts complete the package.
