Cross Country Vs Monstercross | Blake's Lycra Showdown
Cross Country Vs Monstercross | Blake's Lycra Showdown
Which is better? A Cross Country bike or a Monstercross bike? Blake took his Canyon Exceed and Nukeproof Digger to shred some single track and send some bike park trails on the Isle of Wight to find out 🤘

@blake still loving the nukeproof? Contemplating ordering one and was curious about the long term review.
This is my local forest
great video 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Do you want to see more of Blake in Lycra? Where should he ride his cross bike next? Let us know below
This isn’t a cross bike, it’s a gravel bike
Why the road bike was can go to trails
Let’s see the same video, but Blake on a beach cruiser and a 20 BMX
Watched this with trepidation having ordered the digger a month. Phew – for my riding, it looks perfect. Flexible, fun, fast and no jumps. Just another 2 months to wait.
Just rode my SS Monster-ross bike. Old mtb, with 29er rims, 2.1 tires, and drop bars. Road/doubletrack/singletrack/gravel. Was so fun to ride!
so basically mtb vs gravel
Hello did we try to have the XC bike with a similar chain ring as the cross bike and thinner tires to have kind of hybride?
I’d like to know what size gravel tires you have on that NukeProof bike?
I’d buy a pint for all 3 of you and 1 for me
Blake doing a two person job.
Than canyon is so sick but the grip shift made me spit my drink out😑
You’re so funny dude,love it great video’s thanks guys
I want a bike like yours the canyon but i dont have enough money
Lol
What type of beer were you drinking hahaha
Best video ive watched to date 👊😲
The talk about ideally putting a suspension fork on the gravel bike says it all – what a silly fad 😄
Until 30 minutes ago when looked it up on wikipedia I geniunely didn’t think xc and cx were actual bicycle terms. I thought no way 2 different types of bicycles are literally named mirror images of each other… It’s like making a joke… xc bikes and cx bikes… what a joke…
But more to the point, the actual physical difference between the two is a joke! What’s the difference between the cx and xc bike? As far as i can tell… the cx bike doesn’t have suspensions and has drop handle bars… I mean swap the fork between the two bicycles and you can’t tell them apart…. or am I wrong?
I’m a roadie with a new CD bike. Blake may just convert me to full mtb! (For the winter)
2:18 🤣
Since Blake is presenting two types of Cross bike he needed to dress like a cross dresser, valid excuse….
Blake mate you are a great presenter and as a salesman you could probably talk me into buying any bike 🙂
And so, which of these bikes would you regale a pint of beer? (Smile.)
First time I’ve seen xc bike jumping that big and not breaking.
Whoever is named the video don’t understand what MONSTERCROSS means. 👎
Try getting a negative stem on the xc bike i think it will match it for some speed
it’s so weird seeing a grip shifter on a $2000(?) carbon mountain bike
Had to go back and watch. You can’t be mistaken for a roadie. Those are the widest drop bars in the history of mankind.
I would go for the cross country bike, I like flat bars.
smuggling plums
Finally, Lycra Blake 😂
I would choose dropbars on my MTB. The best from both worlds
Rumor is to save weight on carrying food Blake just snacks on Tree leaves, it has been reported that he ate an entire tree to get it out of the way of his jump….
.
i bought crosscountry because its cheaper in our country 😂
2:20 🍃👅
i am choosing the XC and make it 2x conversion
I enjoy my cross country bike. But am interested in cross bike as well.
Dude shredded on that CX bike – mind blown at your mad skills. Both of those pints are well earned!
my choice is Xc
Blake’s riding looks sped up at normal speed and normal human during slow mos.
Cross country vs Country cross
Intro to XC vs cyclocross starts, uses them both as a trail bike. My point, buy a trail bike…
Great!
Xc Mountain bike all day 🤟🏻
Not a Monstercross bike. Monstercross bikes have front suspension on a slacker hardtail frame.
Xc bikes look really amazing.
