The Best Way To Enjoy 'Cross on a Budget

KHS Cyclocross Bikes Now Equipped with Disc Brakes

The 2014 KHS CX300 and CX100 are the latest in KHS Cyclocross bikes, announced this year at Interbike live up to KHS reputation of being low cost, consisting of great components and nice aluminum framesets.

The frames of the two models are different: the CX300 uses KHS Ultralight A7 alloy while the CX100 opts for more affordable and slightly heavier 6061 aluminum frame. They both have a KHS carbon disc fork with an alloy steerer.

The CX300 is race-ready with cyclocross oriented 36/46t chainring combination, while the CX100 is more versatile with a 34/50t compact crankset that commuters and dirt road adventurers tend to prefer.

"The CX300 is the ideal entry-level race bike, with stable handling and all the fittings to make it an awesome wet weather bike, commuter, or gravel bike. This year's edition looks to bring the power of hydraulic brakes to the mix, albeit at a higher price" -CX magazine
