Spyder Pinnacle Jacket - Men's White XXL

Spyder Pinnacle Jacket - Men's White XXL Cyclocross is a tale of two stories. - The first is the mud muck and bunny-hops that you'll put your bike through which obviously requires a strong frame. - The second story is that you'll undoubtedly be hoisting your bike on your shoulder multiple times per race. - This makes weight of equal importance. - However most manufacturers completely miss in designing for both of these demands in one frame. - Thankfully this isn't the case with the Ridley X-Night/SRAM Red Complete Bike - 2013. - The X-Night frame was built with a monocoque design in order to maximize its strength its impact resistance (in case you miss when you try to bunny hop a barrier) and its resistance to torsional flex. - Ridley employs the same 'Sharp Edge Design' tubing configurations they perfected with the Damocles and first-generation Noah road bikes. - In comparison to traditional round tubes this tubeset gives the X-Night a strength-to-weight ratio that's unmatched in the cyclocross marketplace. - It's also unmistakably sexy and the choice of the top riders on the Ridley sponsored teams. - Names like Nys Stybar Pauwels and Meeusen sound familiar? Under one generation and the next the X-Night has been ridden to numerous World and National Championships along with countless Superprestige wins. - Ridley uses a blend of 30- and 24-ton carbon to create the X-Night frame. - This is part of what makes it tough enough to handle the rigors of racing on the world stage. - It's also worth noting that the ride qualities on the road are reminiscent of the similarly shaped Damocles one of our all-time favorite bikes. - This translates into surprising comfort over broken pavement and gravel roads. - One superb detail of the X-Night is its 4ZA Oryx carbon fiber 'cross fork. - The steerer is tapered to allow the use of a 1. -5in lower bearing and larger crown to decrease flex in the steering system. - It has a stiffness and light weight that mirrors the qualities that you get from the frame and it allows the X-Night to track. -. -. -Bike>Bikes>Cyclocross Bikes5395 More Details click ******************************************************
