KROSS gravel bikes are versatile bicycles designed for both paved roads and more demanding off-road terrain. Thanks to their specially developed frame, KROSS gravel bikes combine the comfort of longer rides with the ability to explore less-paved paths, offering the rider exceptional freedom and adaptability to a wide range of conditions.

The KROSS Esker 1.0 is a versatile gravel bike suitable for both long tours and everyday riding. Equipped with a Superlite aluminum frame and fork, it offers stability and comfort with lightness and increased breakage resistance, while the SHIMANO Claris 2×8 drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes keep you in control on any trail – whether on fast asphalt or challenging gravel roads. The KROSS Esker 1.0 is a bike for people who want to explore new routes and appreciate high-quality equipment.

High-performance components:
The KROSS Esker 1.0 is equipped with SHIMANO Claris components, performing well both on asphalt and off-road. KROSS has used the proven 2×8 drivetrain, ensuring a comfortable ride in all conditions. With an 11-32 cassette, you’ll be fast on flat terrain and can tackle steep climbs with ease.

Highlights:

POWDER-COATED
: The finish is achieved by applying electrified powder coating particles to aluminum, which then undergoes a heat treatment. After baking, the surface forms a perfectly smooth coating that is extremely resistant to mechanical damage.

RHS SYSTEM:
To protect the frame as much as possible, a system of replaceable tow hooks has been developed, allowing for quick and easy replacement in case of damage. To minimize the possibility of frame damage, a thread is applied to the tow hook or a special nut.

FLAT MOUNT
A new standard for brake mounting that allows for greater integration of the brake caliper into the frame, thereby increasing stiffness, reducing weight, and improving aerodynamics. This, combined with the reduced weight, has a positive effect on riding dynamics.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Internal cable routing extends the lifespan of the cables, as they are protected from mud, sand, and rain along with the bracing. This saves valuable grams and gives the bike a clean, sporty feel.

T-HEAD TUBE
Tapered head tube with a variable cross-section from 1 1/8″ at the top to 1.5″ at the bottom. The larger diameter at the bottom provides greater strength and stiffness, resulting in precise steering

. As with all high-quality bicycles, pedals are not included. These bicycles are typically ridden with a clipless pedal system, which the customer selects and purchases according to their needs. Of course, you can also use standard platform pedals.
