KROSS EARTH 3.0
The Kross Level 3.0 is a natural continuation of the development of our lower XC full models. It is also a natural development for any cyclist looking for a more advanced design suiting all conditions. To create it, we utilized the experience of our competitors associated in the KROSS Racing Team. Their tips, which were regularly corrected by the XC World Cup, allowed us to create (with minor compromises) a machine adapted to the challenges faced by amateurs on various race routes.
Enter 2021 with the new KROSS Earth 3.0 equipped with even more powerful components than last year's version. First of all, it is a new generation of the Shimano XT drivetrain that is most liked by amateur cyclists. The M9100 version uses the same technologies as the top Shimano XTR - so you can enjoy a high-quality finish, 12 gears and an even better chain clutch. This is only a few grams of difference compared to the Shimano XTR, and significantly lower maintenance and service costs.
Top components at your disposal
The XC bike does not face the same challenges as it did a few years ago. Race routes are becoming more and more difficult and technical, drawing inspiration from routes that have been associated with the world of enduro. That is why at KROSS we decided to evolve our XC bike models into modern machines for overcoming difficult sections of the route. That is why our competitors are more often deciding on full suspension bikes for technically difficult races and marathons. That is why the Kross Earth 3.0 uses the Rockshox suspension, the frame made of superlite aluminum and the rear triangle made of Carbon D84 using the trunnion system. It also features the proven Shimano XT M8100 components. This way you will cover any route faster than ever before.
The KROSS Earth 3.0 mountain bike is equipped with the Shimano XT M8100 drivetrain. This is a completely new design intended for advanced cyclists riding on the challenging XC routes. Thanks to the redesigned rear derailleur, it supports 12 gears located on a 10-51 cassette. This range of gears will allow you to easily overcome even the most difficult climbs and overtake the competition on the descents. The KROSS Earth 3.0 features the Rockshox system shock absorbers. In the front we used a high-quality Rockshox Reba air shock absorber as well as a Rockshox Deluxe Ultimate damper. This is one of the most effective structures on the market, and the lock shifter on the handlebar only adds to their range of possibilities. In combination with wheels mounted on WTB i23 rims and Schwalbe Racing Ray and Ralph tires, we managed to create a system that ensures perfect control of the bike in all conditions. The KROSS Earth 2.0 frame is made of superlite aluminum. Due to thermal treatment, this alloy is characterized by increased stiffness and resistance to overloads, while maintaining low weight. To reduce the weight of the entire bike, we used Carbon D84 and nano-alloy resin for the production of the rear suspension.
