Features

Crossway DT Frame: 6061 double butted and technoformed aluminium frame. Equipped with mounts for rack, mudguards and kickstand.

TFS Frame: Our CROSSWAY TFS frame forms a link between our road and mountain bike frames in design and functionality. The steeply sloping top tube provides an excellent standover height in every riding situation, and the hidden cable routing underneath the down tube makes the frame look clean and protect the cables from moisture and dirt. The MTB inspired oversized tubing, and the tapered head tube provides superb frame stiffness and optimum steering precision.

Comfort: Our CROSSWAY models are equipped with suspension forks and suspension seat posts, on most models, to iron out any surface bumps. Adjustable ahead stems are also fitted (now including our SPEED models), providing an adjustable riding position for maximum sitting comfort on the bike. The exceptions are the sportier models that feature a regular seat post and stem.

Adaptability: Mudguards, racks and kickstands can be added to all CROSSWAY models, making them usable in many circumstances.
