Cyclocross





A sense of adventure requires the right bike to help you follow your ambitions. Be it racing or just exploring, the Crockett 7 exceeds expectations.
Cyclocross bikes used to be afterthoughts in the minds of leading bike manufacturers, but that has changed drastically in the last few years. The Crockett 7 is a classic example of how seriously Trek takes this no-longer-obscure end of the sport. Refined geometry, light weight, a smooth ride and innovative design make the Crockett 7 a true standout. Trek's refined cyclocross geometry really shines on twisty courses, but the Stranglehold thru-axle rear dropouts can adjust the wheelbase fore-aft as much as 15mm, improving stability on rough surfaces. Increased tire clearance can be tweaked with a few tools and a few minutes of work. Trek's own 300 Series Alpha aluminum is used to build the Crockett 7, ensuring light weight and quality control at every step. The aluminum has been shaped and hydroformed to provide excellent power transfer, giving the rider confidence on start lines and steep ascents. The now-familiar tapered head tube adds an extra dash of handling precision during high-speed turns and descents. A press-fit BB86.5 bottom bracket anchors the crankset for flex-free power delivery, especially on steep ascents. The Crockett 7's top tube has been flattened for comfortable shouldering and improved ride quality. 'Cross courses are rough and muddy on purpose, and your bike needs to be survivable in that stuff. The mud clearance on the Crockett 7 is generous to say the least, and can accept up to 38mm tires front and rear. Trek's clever Control Freak internal cable routing keeps shifter cables clean and tidy, while an adjustable 3S chain keeper helps prevent frustrating chain drops. Up front, a carbon fiber IsoSpeed fork with a 12mm thru-axle dropout helps keep overall weight low while soaking up fatiguing vibration.
Shifting components on a cyclocross bike experience brutal conditions, and SRAM's Force 1 components are ready for the challenge. A single-ring drivetrain makes total sense in cyclocross racing, helping to reduce overall bike weight further while ensuring reliability, especially on race day. SRAM's 11-speed dual-control Force 1 levers and a medium-cage Force 1 rear derailleur shift the chain across an 11-32T SRAM cassette with a refined feel. An alloy Praxis Alba crankset and direct-mount 40T narrow-wide chainring does power delivery duties.
The Crockett 7's tubeless-ready alloy wheelset is designed for messy, muddy adventures. Bontrager supplies the Paradigm wheelset with a 19.5mm width for a better tire contact patch. 700x32c Bontrager CX3 Team Issue tires bring bags of grip to the Crockett 7, making short work of dirty, muddy and technical courses. Reigning in speed is the job of SRAM's Force hydraulic disc brakes, bringing excellent lever feedback and long service life in all conditions, wet or dry. Flat mount disc brake caliper installation reduces weight and promotes even pad wear as well. A Ti-railed Bontrager Montrose Elite saddle is an excellent component choice compared to ultralight carbon-railed saddles, especially when it comes to durability. Even the best riders make "close-up course inspections"... A 2-bolt Bontrager carbon fiber seatpost also brings race-day durability to the Crockett 7. An accessory-ready alloy Bontrager Pro Blendr stem and alloy Bontrager IsoSpeed VR-CF road handlebar complete this race-ready machine.


With nimble handling and very low weight, the Crockett 5 Disc will impress on the 'cross course or on the road!
The Crockett 5 Disc was built with cyclocross racing in mind. That being said, all of the Crockett models serve any rider well if they're looking for a spring training bike, lightweight commuter, or "low-intensity gravel" bike. The Crockett 5 Disc is the most affordable machine of the series, built around a hydroformed 300 Series Alpha aluminum frame and all-carbon fork. The frame's tubes have been hydroformed, keeping weight low and torsional strength high. The top tube is flattened, making for easier shouldering on muddy run-ups. Control Freak internal cable routing keeps the Crockett 5 Disc looking clean as well as protecting the rear derailleur cable from dirt and water. A tapered head tube anchors the large down tube effectively, adding an extra level of handling precision during high-speed corners and descents. The BB86.5 press-fit bottom bracket ensures flex-free power delivery with every pedal stroke; a critical attribute when charging uphill towards the finish line. Out back, the Crockett 5 Disc is equipped with an adjustable Stranglhold 12mm thru-axle rear dropout. 15mm of fore-aft adjustability lets the rider tweak the Crockett 5's wheelbase for improved mud clearance or a more nimble feel. Want to switch to single-speed? The Stranglehold dropout is perfect for adjusting chain tension. The 12mm thru-axle also enhances the strength of the bike's rear triangle, reducing lateral flex in the frame. The Crockett 5's IsoSpeed Cross fork is not only light (due to being a fully carbon fiber build from steerer to dropouts), but also soaks up fatiguing vibration. Flat-mount disc brake caliper installation on the frame and fork helps reduce overall frameset weight, but also enhances brake lever feedback and improves pad wear. A 12mm thru-axle at the fork dropouts adds an extra layer of handling precision.
The Crockett 5 Disc needed a drivetrain that could put up with muddy conditions while still getting the job done. Enter SRAM's Rival 1 components.
SRAM's single-ring Rival 1 dual-control levers and rear derailleur make for a lightweight, low maintenance drivetrain. 11-speed shifting across an 11-32T SRAM cassette is done with a single "DoubleTap" button on the right Rival 1 lever. A single 40T chainring is mounted on an alloy Praxis Alba crankset, offering low rotating weight and excellent torsional strength when putting the power down. A set of tubeless-ready alloy Bontrager Affinity Disc wheels are wrapped with race-ready 700x32c Bontrager CX3 Team Issue tires, bringing boatloads of traction on loose surfaces, gravel and mud.
TRP's cable-operated Spyre disc brakes help with speed control in all conditions, wet or dry. Bontrager also supplies the Montrose Comp saddle, durable alloy 2-bolt seatpost, accessory-ready alloy Elite Blendr stem and alloy VR-C road handlebar.
With all this going for it, the Crockett 5 Disc is more than ready for the mud and dirt. Are you?
