A Cyclocross bike fits larger tires than a road bike while maintaining most of the performance advantages of a drop-bar bike. If you want to go fast, install 700x23 or 700x25 and run with the fast dogs. Put on 700x35 tires on the bike and go on gravel or the most battered city streets. The CAADX will also fit a rack and accept a 20 lbs load.
