PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sette CX-1 Ultegra Carbon Cyclocross Bike

This might be a long shot...but if you happened to do any of the races in the 2009 SoCalCross Prestige Series, there's a good chance you've already crossed paths with the CX-1. Of course you might not have noticed it. It was completely stealthed-out to be as invisible as possible. Then again, maybe you did notice it because there's not a whole lot of full carbon 'cross bikes out there.

The frame and fork are hand crafted from 3K high modulus carbon fiber with a layup specific to off-pavement use. And, to put it simply, the geometry is dialed. One very intriguing aspect of the frame design is the internal cable routing that wards off grime and muck like a velvet rope scares away the riff-raff.

The component spec is just as impressive. You'll find Shimano Ultegra taking care of the shifters, derailleurs, chain and cassette. The crank is FSA's cyclocross specific Energy Mega Exo with 36/46 chain rings. The wheels are Mavic Aksium fitted with UCI legal 700 x 32 Vittoria Cross XG Pro tires. This wheelset is perfectly race worthy or makes a great training set if you've got a set of deep dish tubies hanging in the garage. Avid Shorty 4 cantis take care of deceleration and a 3T cockpit rounds out the mix.

Because weight is rather important for a cross bike particularly when you're on the bell lap approaching the final run up, you'll be happy to know that a 56cm CX-1 weighs in at 18.69lbs without pedals.
