*Stock status shown prior to payment Cyclo Cross is Sunday morning bike-race madness. It's all the fun you can stand. Lap after lap around a dirt course you can't entirely ride; You've got to run some of it with your bike on your shoulder. That is what makes the Lightning Cross such a versatile bike - it has to be fast, durable, light and capable in nearly all conditions and THAT makes it the perfect bike for everyday, fast, durable riding in most any condition.

Now upgraded to 24 Speeds, the Shimano Sora/2200 equipped Lightning Cross is the ULTIMATE all purpose Dawes bike for 2014. The frame is made from specially shaped aluminum alloy tubing, custom butted and shaped with an engineered downtube.



CrMo FORK, advanced Straight Blade design, Cross-specific model with a 1.125" steerer

Truvativ Triple CRANKSET Gives you a very wide gear range to tackle nearly any situation



REAR RACK MOUNTS make this the perfect all purpose commuter or cross-town bike



The components are carefully chosen to withstand the rigors of cyclocross or your daily commute. The TruVativ Cranks are perfectly geared for almost any wicked course or cross-town latte run with 30/42/52T chainrings and sealed bearing bottom bracket.



A Dawes Lightning Cross is an incredibly versatile bicycle. Nearly as effective off-road as a mountain bike and way more fun. Put smooth-tread tires on it and it makes a great road bike. Put lights a rear rack and fenders on it and ride it to and from work or to and from Yellowstone.
