KROSS Esker 1.0 is a versatile gravel bike that performs equally well on long-distance adventures and everyday rides.
Equipped with a second-generation aluminum frame, it offers durability and comfort, while the Shimano Cues 1x9 drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes provide full control on any route—whether on fast asphalt sections or demanding gravel roads. KROSS Esker 1.0 is a bike designed for riders who want to explore new routes and value high-quality equipment.
Disc BrakesDisc brakes guarantee us great stopping power and good modulation even in the harshest weather conditions, and they last much longer than conventional brakes.
Flat MountA new brake mounting standard that allows greater integration of the brake caliper into the frame increasing rigidity, lowering weight and improving aerodynamics, which, combined with lower weight, has a positive effect on the riding dynamics.
Inner Cable RoutingInternal cable routing extends the life of the cables by protecting them along with the armor from mud, sand and rain. This saves precious grams and achieves an undisturbed, sporty-performance character of the bike.
Powder CoatedPainting involving the application of electrified powder paint particles to aluminum, which requires heat treatment. After baking, the surface of the paint forms a perfectly smooth coating that is extremely resistant to mechanical damage.
RHS SystemIn order to maximize the protection of our frames, we have created a system of interchangeable hooks that can be easily and quickly replaced in case of damage. To reduce the possibility of damage to the frame to a minimum, we place the threads on the hook or on a special nut.
T-Head TubeA tapered head tube with a variable cross-section from 1 1/8" at the top to 1.5" at the bottom. The larger diameter at the bottom gives greater strength and stiffness that translates into precision steering.
