Chili Con Crosso Complete
This specific model has been archived. It is no longer being produced or has changed in appearance but is listed here for historical/research purposes.
The Chili Con Crosso is our dedicated cyclocross racing frameset. It is based on a lightweight, racing platform that does its best to maximize performance, while minimizing pain.
The frame is crafted from EV6 Extrolite aluminum tubing and paired with a full carbon, tapered carbon fork. The frameset’s low weight is the first hint of its racing pedigree. Look a little closer however and you’ll see the real details that separate the Chili Con Crosso from the rest of the field.
Specially shaped chainstays and seatstays are designed to be laterally rigid while providing slight, but effective, vertical bump compliance. That compliance decreases shock transmission, thereby helping reduce rider fatigue. The lateral rigidity of the stays stiffens the rear triangle and directly converts pedal strokes into efficient, forward progress.
The shoulder-friendly toptube is again shaped to make shouldering the bike more comfortable. That shaped section is now longer than previous models to be more effective in the hustle and bustle of hilly run ups.
While you probably won’t carry water bottles while you’re racing, we provide braze-ons for two cages to make the Chili Con Crosso more versatile and training friendly. Just because you’re only racing an hour, doesn’t mean you’re always only riding an hour. In fact, the Chili makes an exceptional wet-weather training bike.
If you’re the type that dreams of cowbells ringing in Belgium, thinks 32mm tires are fat, and wishes every day was a muddy day, our Chili Con Crosso is the bike for you.
Chili Con Crosso. The gun at the knife fight.
