If you’re like us, your cross bike functions as an everyday mount that you use for ripping trails, bombing alleys, commuting, riding in the wet and generally getting rad. So you’ve probably come across some situations where you’ve wanted more stopping power. Consider disc brakes.

The Macho Disc was the logical next step for our Macho Man platform. It adds the all-weather stopping power and mud clearance of discs to our proven 612 Select cross frame and fork. The result is a favorite with the cross crowd, trail riders, gravel racers and commuters.

Like all of our steel bikes it sports classic hand-built frame details such as: a custom head badge, bi-plane lugged fork crown, internal top tube cable routing, signature brazed-on seat collar, signature vertical dropouts, custom bottom bracket, bottle boss reinforcements and an E.D. coating. It clears a 38c tire with plenty of room for mud and has fender mounts for rain days.
