Built by hand in San Francisco and prototyped with professional CX racers over the course of the last year and a half, the mkii cross bike by LOW Bicycles is now available for order.
The low mkii cx was designed, prototyped, and race tested over a two-year period to become the top performing cyclocross bike that it is. The mkii features disk brakes for quicker stops, and fully internal shifter and brake cables for reliable performance and a clean streamlined look.
Its sleek beauty is composed by a blend of proprietary and beautifully hand-shaped butted aluminum tubing that is ergonomically shaped for aggressive riding and for ease of carrying on your shoulders.
Andrew Low and his team build all their frames by hand in San Francisco. The whole build process is done in-house with a focus on quality workmanship and smooth welds, this ensures precise handling and superior strength and a flat-out performer in every bike they roll out.
