01
Origin
The Cross Disc emerged as cyclocross racing and gravel riding adopted disc brakes — giving riders consistent stopping power in mud and rain that rim brakes simply cannot deliver. The disc-specific frame and fork maintain the CX geometry of the rim-brake Cross while adding the hydraulic system.
