Gravel roads, In competition, Out in the elements
What it's built for
Handling, Endurance, Traction
Sharing the same race pedigree and proven geometry as our cyclocross champion, the SuperX, the all-new CAADX is a legitimately fast and fun cyclocross racer, gravel pounder, go-anywhere adventure bike.
The combination of OutFront Steering Geometry and short chain stays delivers drama-free stability and surprising agility on everything from technical cyclocross courses to potholed streets.
An evolved frame layout with bump-smoothing SAVE micro-suspension and a new rear thru-axle gives you comfort and compliance in the rough stuff and the stiffness to rule the climbs.
Technology
Best of Both Handling
OutFront steering geometry offers drama-free stability on technical cyclocross courses and potholed streets but maintains quick-handling agility, thanks to short chainstays, everywhere else.

Light and Smooth
SmartForm C2 Alloy Construction and a full carbon fork keep it light and easy to shoulder, while SAVE micro-suspension helps you track smoothly through the rough stuff.

Sweet Versatility
Subtle rack mounts, a removable seatstay fender mount and hidden fork fender mounts expand its usability without affecting its racy looks.

Big Tire Clearance
Room to run up to 37mm tires to tackle the roughest gravel roads with confidence or sail over the pavement in ultimate comfort.

Thru-Axles Front to Back
Thru-axles enhance chassis stiffness for precise handling and explosive power.
