Bike Selection Guide

Cross Country Bikes

  • Travel: 100 - 110 mm
  • Wheel Sizes: 27.5 - 29 in
  • Strengths: Big epic rides where you’re in the saddle grinding out multiple long climbs.
  • Limitations: More difficult descents will be harder to ride.

Whether racing or just riding for fun, a Cross Country bike (XC) provides excellent pedaling efficiency for long climbs. And enough travel between your frame and wheels smooths out rough terrain or other tricky trail features.
