Croix De Fer 20 Adventure Gravel Bike – Reynolds 725 Steel Frame, Shimano GRX, Red

The Croix De Fer 20 Adventure Bike is a true legend in the world of gravel and touring bicycles, designed for riders who demand versatility, strength, and all-terrain performance. Built around the premium Reynolds 725 heat-treated steel frame, this bike offers unmatched durability and ride comfort, making it the ideal companion whether you’re commuting through the city, exploring country lanes, or tackling rugged trails.

One of the standout features of the Croix De Fer 20 is its enhanced tire clearance, accommodating up to 45mm rear and 50mm front tires on 700c wheels or 44mm rear and 50mm front on 650B setups. This flexibility ensures confident handling and superior traction on both tarmac and dirt roads. Combined with a Chromoly fork for extra strength and stability, this bike is engineered to perform under demanding conditions.

Equipped with a Shimano GRX drivetrain, including RX400 derailleurs and a Prowheel 46/30T double chainset, the Croix De Fer 20 delivers smooth and reliable gear shifting across a wide range of terrains. The 11-34T cassette ensures that steep climbs and fast descents are handled with ease, while mechanical disc brakes provide consistent stopping power in all weather conditions.

Practicality is also at the heart of this design. The Croix De Fer 20 features multiple mounting points, including a third bottle mount, pannier rack mounts, mudguard fixings, and Anything Cage fork mounts. Whether you’re preparing for bikepacking adventures or long-distance touring, this bike is ready for every challenge. The tubeless-ready wheels further reduce puncture risks and enhance comfort, ensuring uninterrupted journeys.

At Stratton Cycles, we recommend the Croix De Fer 20 to riders looking for the ultimate blend of endurance, adventure, and everyday practicality. Its timeless steel construction paired with modern components makes it a versatile, future-proof investment for cyclists who refuse to compromise. Ride it through bustling city streets, embark on cross-country tours, or lose yourself on gravel tracks – the Croix De Fer 20 will deliver performance and reliability every time.

To facilitate this thorough process, bicycles are not eligible for next-day delivery, ensuring each bike is perfectly prepared for you.

Bike & Ride for E-Bikes

Due to the additional weight and unique handling needs of electric bikes, we cannot ship them fully assembled. Instead, our expert mechanics will assemble, configure, and thoroughly inspect your electric bike before repacking it in its original box. This process requires the removal of the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and seat-post, which you will need to reinstall upon delivery. We provide detailed instructions and all necessary tools to help you complete the assembly quickly and effortlessly.
