Real Rider Quotes About XTL / Cross Top Levers:
"...on the bar top in traffic and hazardous situations and they really come in handy"
"I love them. I'm really glad they came with the bike"
" they're great. I have brakes at my fingertips no matter where my hands are"
"...easier to apply when stopped with one leg off the bike""
The Motobecane Gravel V XTL pairs a handcrafted 6061 aluminum endurance frame with a straight-blade steel fork, Shimano 14-speed drivetrain and front/rear caliper brakes. XTL auxiliary brake levers give you braking access from the handlebar tops. Wide 700x38c stock tires and compact 34/50T cranks make it a versatile choice for commuting, fitness and gravel-road riding.
Formula aluminum quick-release hubs, double-wall aero-style rims and a replaceable derailleur hanger complete the practical build. Fork clearance is listed for most tires up to 700x42c; non-stock tire fit is not guaranteed.
