Merlin X2.0 Alloy Cyclocross Bike 2018

This is one of the most versatile bikes that Merlin have ever made.

We've combined a tough but lightweight aluminium frame with a carbon fork that adds a little more comfort while providing enhanced steering precision and specced the X2.0 with some great components including Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes to ensure there's plenty of braking power when you need it with a 160mm disc rotor up front and a 140mm on the rear.

With disc brakes at the hubs there's more mud clearance between the frame and the tyres than on a traditional cantilever brake cyclocross bike meaning it's less likely to clog up with mud during racing or general riding. Designed in Britain, built in Belgium the X2.0 Tiagra Cyclocross bike is ready for whatever you can throw at it - gravel, grass, mud, tarmac, grim weather, even the daily commute to and from work.
