Designed for hour-long racing efforts, or hacking through the woods at maximum speed. The Tension 1 is the perfect bike for those wishing to start working their way up the cyclocross ranks. With its competition-ready legal build, our entry-level racer gives you everything you need to start earning those podium places with a competent aluminum frame and lightweight carbon fork. A Sram Apex One groupset with single-chainring 11-speed gearing – though wide for elite-level racing – will leave you enough in reserve lest you stall mid-race or enjoy taking it easy in the off-season.

The beauty of the stiff alloy frame is also that it climbs quickly, readily flying when you open up a sprint. The bike handled tight & twisting turns, loose downhill & pedaly sections, and repeated short sprints all without hesitation. As you move up the rankings in the Tension collection, the Tension 2 comes with a Sram Rival groupset, Hunt 4 Season wheels, and a Ritchey cockpit. A more race-winning gear ratio suits the price point while possessing the same aggressive geometry found throughout the collection. The wheelset hosts long-lasting cartridge bearings with reliable Challenge Grifo tires, whatever the conditions, and if you so wish, make switching to tubeless simple. A T47 threaded bottom bracket provides peace of mind against mechanicals, along with the bike’s durable chassis.

Head down, tongue down, pedal pedal pedal. A bike with a trophy cabinet glistening with World Cup silverware, the Tension C keeps weight to a minimum with its race-winning carbon chassis. When resistance reduction is a necessity, the Sram Force One groupset and matching carbon crank, Hunt 4 Season wheels, and a Richey 4-Axis stem will let you leave everything out on the course. Fast Challenge Grifo tyres are the icing on the cake – all that’s left now is to welcome the applause of cowbells as you reach the chequered flag in first place.
