cross bike

Cross bikes combine a sporty lifestyle with maximum functionality and reliability. The sleek look goes hand in hand with efficiency and versatility. Like no other bike, the Cross Bike as a crossover combines the speed of a racing bike with the comfort of a trekking bike. The frame geometry and the wide handlebars guarantee a comfortable sitting and driving posture at all times. The basic equipment of this special type of bicycle preferably includes a suspension fork and gears. The practice-oriented parts not only provide valuable services on daily trips, but also on long tours. By deliberately avoiding unnecessary attachments, both the weight and the maintenance effort can be significantly reduced. In our shop you will find a large selection of high-quality cross bikes from brand manufacturers at top prices.

CROSS BIKES – THE LARGE SELECTION IN THE LIQUID-LIFE SHOP

The cross bikes in the Liquid-Life Shop are just as individual as the cyclists themselves. There are enormous differences in frame type. In addition to the typical diamond frame for men, trapezoid frames with a deeper entry are also available. The steeply sloping top tube makes getting on and off the bike much easier. The so-called lady bikes also use this advantage. The frame geometry, which is optimized for women, ensures increased safety and confidence. Depending on your requirements, you also have the choice between aluminum or carbon. The lightweight aluminum frames are extremely robust and durable, with an exclusive carbon frame you can save even more weight. The situation is similar with the installed parts. Carbon components are more expensive, but also lighter.

We also offer you a large selection of forks. In addition to suspension forks, you can also find rigid forks in our shop that are absolutely maintenance-free. On smooth asphalt roads you can travel even more efficiently and quickly with a rigid fork. For comfortable tours, a cross bike with a suspension fork is definitely recommended. For urban adventures, 60 to 80 millimeters of travel is usually sufficient. However, if you want to travel off-road, an extra suspension travel can't hurt. Depending on the area of ​​use, the cross bikes also have different equipment packages. The purist models with minimal equipment are ideal for recreation and quick after-work rides, but for trekking and the daily commute to work, you should use a StVZO-compliant bike with lights, luggage racks and mudguards.

As standard, cross bikes roll on 28” wheels. This wheel size impresses with its great rolling behavior and high ride comfort. Cross bikes with 29” wheels are now also available. The area of ​​application of these bikes is more in off-road sports. The larger wheels give you more cushioning and traction. The braking system is of course also of great interest. More and more bikes are coming with disc brakes, which ensure consistent braking performance in all weather conditions. Last but not least, you should also take a look at the circuit. The high-quality gears from Shimano or SRAM pamper you with crisp and precise gear changes.

SUITABLE EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES FOR CROSS BIKES

In the shop we have a huge range of equipment and accessories for cross bikes available for you. No matter whether you are going to work or on tour, large luggage rack bags offer you enough storage space. Made from robust and water-repellent material, the panniers ensure perfect weather protection. If you have a puristic bike without a luggage rack, this can often be easily retrofitted to a hardtail. We have special seat post solutions available for full-suspension bikes. If you want to get by without luggage racks and panniers, you should definitely take a look at the backpacks available in the shop.

In rainy conditions it is also worth using a mudguard. Permanently mountable dirt flaps can be used here, as can temporary click-on solutions. Sporty cyclists prefer to use the click-on mudguards, as they can be removed in no time when the weather is nice. We cannot recommend a high-quality bicycle lock often enough. Unfortunately, the number of thefts continues to rise, and you are not immune to theft of your cross bike. In the Liquid Life Shop you will find a variety of different models that can also be attached to the frame and are therefore extremely easy to transport.
