The Edge-X cyclo cross is a serious contender with its star studded build package. The frame is a lightweight double butted alloy and is matched with the carbon fibre bladed forks. With great components like Shimano Tiagra gears, FSA Omega cross chainwheel and Tektro CR720 cantilever brakes a better specc'ed bike for the price would be hard to find. Even the wheel breathe quality with Alex DF23 rims built on Shimano Alivio hubs and dressed with Schwalbe's superb Smart Sam cross tyres.
