XX - Road/Gravel
XX
Meet the XX, a single bike for road, gravel and cyclocross. Built for riders who expect performance without compromise, it delivers speed, precision and control across every surface.
From fast paced road rides in sublime comfort thanks to larger road tyres to gravel and cyclocross racing, the XX adapts with quiet confidence. Refined, responsive and versatile, it removes the need to choose between disciplines.
Built for everything
The XX blends road speed with gravel capability and cyclocross resilience.
Its geometry is tuned for precision, keeping handling sharp and composed on tarmac and rough terrain. Performance without boundaries.
Precision handling
A shorter wheelbase and chainstays create a direct, responsive ride. It reacts instantly, corners with confidence and accelerates with purpose.
Stable at speed, agile in tight sections.
Clearance to go further
Up to 45 mm tyre clearance unlocks true versatility and serious fun.
Run gravel tyres for demanding terrain, or modern oversized road tyres from 38 to 42 mm for added comfort, grip and speed on rough roads. One platform, multiple setups.
Clean by design
Minimal mounts and a stripped-back design create a clean, purposeful aesthetic.
Nothing unnecessary, nothing to distract from the ride.
FCTRY custom finishes
FCTRY paint options allow the XX to be tailored to your identity. Subtle or bold, each finish complements its performance-first design.
The one bike you need
The XX exists beyond categories.
Road speed, gravel capability and cyclocross durability in one refined machine.
