For more and more riders, a ‘Cross bike is the answer to a wide range of needs, light enough for a sportive, tough enough for light off-road use and comfortable enough for weekend touring. The Vapour’s ALX-9 6069 triple-butted frame and carbon/aluminium fork is perfectly race-ready and now has more mud room around the rear brake. The Vapour 2011 uses Tektro wide-leg style cantilever brakes for added clearance and power, plus a front fork-mount brake hanger for judder-free braking.
Top-tube routed cables mean snag-free shouldering when it’s time to pick it up and run, rear rack and ‘guard eyelets give scope for wider use than a pure race bike. Whether a roamer, a racer or simply a commuter/escaper, the Vapour answers the call.
