Reynolds 853 Croix De Fer 50 Large Gravel Bike | Lightweight, Versatile, Performance-Driven

The Reynolds 853 Croix De Fer 50 Large is the ultimate steel gravel bike designed to deliver unparalleled performance and comfort. Crafted with the renowned Reynolds 853 steel, this bike provides an exceptional ride quality that sets it apart from other gravel bikes in its class. Ideal for both seasoned cyclists and newcomers alike, it offers a perfect blend of durability, weight efficiency, and ride smoothness.

Featuring a full carbon CGR1 fork, the Croix De Fer 50 Large is optimized to reduce weight by approximately 900 grams compared to its steel counterpart. This results in improved handling and agility while maintaining strength and stability. The fork also includes bottle and Anything Cage mounting points, adding to its versatility for long rides and varied terrains.

Equipped with Shimano’s GRX drivetrain, this bike excels in shifting performance and reliability. The 46/30T chainset combined with an 11-34T cassette ensures seamless gear transitions and versatility across different riding conditions. Whether you’re tackling rough gravel paths or smooth asphalt, the GRX components deliver dependable shifting and exceptional longevity.

The Croix De Fer 50 Large comes with the top-tier RX-810 components, including shifters, hydraulic brake calipers, and derailleurs. These high-performance elements not only reduce the bike’s overall weight but also enhance both shifting and braking efficiency. This makes the Croix De Fer 50 a competitive choice for both road and off-road riding.

One of the standout features of this bike is its tire compatibility. At the rear, it can accommodate a 45mm tire on the 700c rims, while the front supports up to a 40mm tire. For those who prefer a 650B wheelset, it allows for 44mm and 40mm tires respectively. This flexibility ensures that the Croix De Fer 50 can adapt to various riding preferences and conditions.

The bike also includes thru-axles front and rear, tubeless-ready rims and tires, and flat mount disc brakes, enhancing its performance and convenience. Additional features such as a third bottle mount and rack and guard mounts add to its practicality, making it an excellent choice for long-distance touring and daily commuting.
