From dry early season courses to November's pigpen-like mud, Raleigh's RXC dominates. Its carbon frame and carbon fork have all the necessary attributes to elevate your race resumé, including a flat top tube for easy shouldering, ride-smoothing seatstays, and a stiff PF30 bottom bracket area that turns every bit of power into forward motion. All that energy is channeled through SRAM's quality Apex and Rival components with smooth shifting. Plus, Vittoria adds their grippy tires, Tektro supplies mud-happy canti brakes, and Avenir rounds out the build with their saddle, bar, stem and seatpost.

I bought this bike to replace my former race bike. After reading many great things about the RXC I decided to go for it and I have been nothing short of impressed . The bike is super light, very fast and quite forgiving for a carbon frame. I would suggest this bike or frame-set to anyone in the market for a carbon cyclocross bike.
