2010 Salsa Chili Con Crosso – Salsa’s dedicated cyclocross race bike
It is based on a lightweight, racing platform that does its best to maximize performance, while minimizing pain.
The frame is crafted from custom-drawn scandium alloy tubing and paired with an Alpha Q CX20 carbon fork. At less than four pounds, the frameset’s low weight is the first hint of its racing pedigree. Look a little closer however and you’ll see the real details that separate the Chili Con Crosso from the rest of the field.
Specially shaped scandium alloy chainstays and seatstays are designed to flex vertically while remaining laterally rigid. That slight vertical compliance absorbs shock transmission, decreasing rider fatigue. The lateral rigidity of the stays stiffens the rear triangle and directly converts pedal strokes into efficient, forward progress.
The shoulder-friendly toptube is ovalized and slightly flattened to make shouldering the bike more comfortable…so you can concentrate on where you’re placing your feet instead of how that toptube is digging into your collarbone.
While you probably won’t carry water bottles while you’re racing, Salsa provides braze-ons for two cages to make the Chili Con Crosso more versatile and training-friendly. Just because you’re only racing an hour, doesn’t mean you’re always only riding an hour.
If you’re the type that dreams of cowbells ringing in Belgium, thinks 32mm tires are fat, and wishes every day was a muddy day, our Chili Con Crosso is the bike for you.
Chili Con Crosso. The gun at the knife fight.
