Cross bikes and fitness bikes – the ideal companions in your everyday sporting life

Off-road and adventure - with a cross bike or fitness bike, both are guaranteed. The bikes are perfect for different types of terrain and can handle bumpy paths and challenging passages well.

So that you can discover the advantages of a cross and fitness bike, we have put together three MYVELO models for you that will meet your needs. The stability of the bikes and the high-quality components ensure excellent performance and lots of fun on the track.

The advantages of cross and fitness bikes

The cross bike combines a fast racing bike with an off-road mountain bike. A classic cross bike is lighter than a mountain bike, but slightly heavier than a racing bike. The bike therefore combines the advantageous properties of both models. If you are looking for a mix of sporty and relaxed riding, this model is exactly the right choice.

Fitness bikes are models that have similar properties to cross bikes. A fitness bike often has less powerful suspension, is light in weight and is therefore designed for fast riding. The equipment on such a bike is often minimalist. An additional luggage rack and mudguards are usually not available. Additional attachment points on a fitness bike are practical so that missing parts can be retrofitted if necessary.

In our MYVELO online shop you will find some models that fall into the category of cross bikes and fitness bikes. To give you a good overview, we present the three most popular models here.

Mortirolo Gravel Bike – perfect for demanding tours

Our Mortirolo Gravel Bike is characterized by its special style. The Gravel Bike combines style, comfort and speed.

To make the Mortirolo bike unique, we have developed a special carbon frame. Carbon is a particularly high-quality material that offers you a combination of stability and lightness. The stylish shiny effect in silver underlines the sporty design.

Highlight of the gravel bike:

• low weight
• rigid frame
• practical all-round features
• easily customizable

The built-in Shimano GRX gear system impresses with optimized gear shifting options and has been adapted to gravel riding. So that you can adapt the gravel bike to your needs, we offer you the GRX as an electronic Di2 gear system, as an 11-speed gear system or as a 10-speed gear system.

Thanks to the various adjustment options, you can use the Motirolo on a variety of surfaces and make nature your home.

Stylish cross bike – discover the Palermo E-MTB Copper

Another stylish highlight is our Palermo E-MTB. The chic mountain bike not only looks good, the high-quality workmanship and the well-thought-out concept make it a great model in the hardtail range. Since it was designed as a lightweight hardtail, you can easily get around the city as well as on forest and hiking trails with the E-mountain bike.

Highlights of the Palermo E-MTB:

• Suntour Raidon air suspension fork
• deep entry
• adapted frame geometry
• powerful battery and Shimano Steps mid-engine

If you are looking for a model that has a long range and balanced technology, the Palermo E-MTB is exactly the right choice.

Great cross and fitness bike for professionals and beginners - the Denver E-MTB

Our Denver e-mountain bike masters challenging terrain with ease. The bike is a lightweight hardtail and is therefore perfect for challenging downhill sections. You will have a lot of fun on the various off-road trails with the Denver mountain bike and achieve new sporting goals.

Highlights of the Denver E-MTB:

• powerful 250 W mid-engine
• sturdy aluminum frame
• safe disc brake
• thanks to luggage rack devices quickly converted for everyday use

Why do we use Shimano technology for the Denver e-mountain bike?

The Shimano Steps E8000 is a very powerful e-bike drive that was specially developed for off-road riding. The light 2.88 kilograms are a real plus point compared to other models and offer you a strong output of 250 W. This means you can be supported up to a speed of 25 km/h.

These features will help you with your e-bike purchase

In order to find a good cross or fitness bike, it is important to consider important points before buying. This way you can ensure that you choose a model that suits you and your riding habits. The following features are important in order to be able to decide whether you have the perfect e-bike in front of you:

• A stable frame: Aluminium frames are particularly durable, carbon frames ensure speed and more dynamics
• Good driving behavior: A smooth and dynamic driving behavior is helpful with these models.
• Weight: Depending on where you are using the bike, the weight is crucial. Pay attention to the weight of the battery and the motor. The material of the frame also plays a crucial role – carbon is particularly light
• Additional mounting options: If you decide to get an e-mountain bike and want to use it in everyday life, it makes sense to attach a luggage rack.
• Variable adjustment options: Another advantage of an e-bike model is the various adjustment options. Can you choose different wheels? Can the handlebars, saddle and gears be exchanged and individually adjusted to your needs?

How to buy the best cross and fitness bike online

Cross and fitness bikes are ideal for off-road use. The models combine fast riding fun with good suspension. A cross bike has similar properties to a mountain bike and is therefore particularly suitable for bumpy paths and challenging terrain. A fitness bike is similar to a racing bike and is lighter than a cross bike. To choose a suitable model, you should think about the location and your riding style in advance. It is also helpful to pay attention to the following points:

• Stable and high-quality frame made of aluminium or carbon
• a good weight, which should be low for fitness bikes
• additional mounting and customization options
