Mountain biking, especially when thinking about XC known for its World Cup routes, creates completely new challenges for riders as compared to a few years ago. Therefore, to support you both during MTB marathons and in classic XC rounds, we have created the KROSS Earth 1.0. We wanted to create a universal bike that will be ideal for any terrain, wherever you take it. And despite some compromises that we had to decide on when choosing components, we can proudly say that this is one of the most interesting bikes available in our offer.In 2021, we focused on the further development of our full suspension bikes. Despite leaving their geometry untouched, we've refreshed the KROSS Earth 1.0 components, making it an even more versatile bike for trekking routes worthy of the XC World Cup. A high-class Shimano Deore drivetrain operating with an 11-51 cassette or a shock absorber using an air spring are just some of the new parts we prepared for you. So that you can be even faster on tough XC trails.The XC bike does not face the same challenges as it did a few years ago. That's why it had to evolve. Full suspension MTB bikes are increasingly more often are chosen for difficult technical racing routes. That is why the Kross Earth 1.0 includes two shock absorbers from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Suntour, a frame made of superlite aluminum, Trunnion system and proven Shimano accessories.KROSS Earth 1.0 is the newest Shimano Deore 5100 component. This new product for 2021 was designed to work with 1x11 drives. The system supports an eleven-row cassette with a giant 51-tooth cog to overcome even the steepest climbs. It is also a completely new clutch mechanism, which tightens the chain even better when riding in rough terrain. No more falling chain - this nightmare will never come back. The Trunnion system is a modern way of attaching the rear shock absorber to the frame, thanks to which it is shorter. At the same time, however, it maintains the same travel value.The front shock absorber is an air SR Suntour XCR 32 RLR AIR with 100 millimeters of travel and an air spring. As a result, the structure is stiffer and lighter compared to last year's model. It is complemented by a rear shock absorber supplied by the same manufacturer - SR Suntour Edge R. There is a lock shifter on the handlebar that stiffens both shock absorbers, helping to pedal effectively on flat sections of the route. To ensure good traction even in the muddiest conditions, we have equipped it with 2.25-inch wide Schwalbe Rapid Rob tires proven on many routes. The frame is made of superlite aluminum. Due to thermal treatment, this alloy is characterized by increased stiffness and resistance to overloads, while maintaining low weight.
