Ready to race cross in it's simplest form hop on an RXS single speed with one gear, zero cables, and a strong will, then prepare to crank your heart out while you stand and deliver. Made with the tried and true Raleigh cross frame but with belt drive capability, the RXS is a classic example of Raleigh's single speed cross bikes we've been building for over a decade, because CycloCross is part of our DNA, our heritage. The mid-high-end RXS cross bike has a super light alloy cross frame with internal brake routing and thru-axle, full carbon fork with flat mount disc and hydraulic disc brakes for the ultimate stopping power in all conditions. Tubeless-ready Impulse wheels with clement MXP tires make this race proven, course conquering CycloCross machine a top pick. Of course, the RXS can also be used for more than just racing, so take it around town or to the office to fully appreciate its magic.

i've been out of the sport for a while; disk brakes and threadless headsets are new to me. this bike rides comfortably and seems to be spec'ed fairly for the price point. my only surprise was the front wheel toe overlap is pretty severe for a 54 cm size. i probably won't be taking this off the pavement frequently, so I'll need a larger gear.

Hands down one of the best purchases I have ever made.
This bike is sweet. The gearing was a bit low so I swapped the 19t for a 17t and now it is much faster, nimble and I get compliments on it all day. The peddles were basically throw aways so I put some new ones on it. I’m thinking I might get a second one for my wife.

I bought a 54cm .. I usually ride a 56cm for road, but since this had the taller tires, went for 54cm. Fits me very good. I did swap out the stem for a 15mm longer one I had laying around. Swapped out the uncomfortable saddle also for one I already had. Swapped pedals with Shimano Deore XT SPD ones, I also have on my road bikes. The frame is nice quality, quality parts for the price, and the hydraulic disk brakes are great! Bike arrived intact, undamaged, and was easy to assemble. The 19t cog is too small gearing for me, will swap to smaller cog, but not sure how I will do the chain tension … any ideas? Why I only gave 3 stars is because of what a previous reviewer mentioned; the toe/foot overlap with the front wheel is horrendous … that is poor design especially on a cross-type bike .. Raleigh, what were you thinking there?
