Zero Gravity G-Cross

the new Zero Gravity CX brakes offer up unrivaled braking power in a ultra clean, modern design

We recently threw a pair of these on a customers bike and were so impressed that I am mounting up a set on my SSX. Like all Zero Gravity parts, these are machine aluminium with Ti bits and a lot of attention to detail, and did I mention light? The Zero Gravity G-Cross Ti Cyclocross cantilever brake set is one of the lightest on the market at 118 grams per wheel. The minimalistic design requires some patience while setting them up but worth the extra fiddling for performance in spades.

Hands down the most powerful canti-brakes I have ridden, I would even go so far as saying they rival the performance of top V-brakes. They come stock with green Swiss Stop pads, which I think are great most most riding conditions (I am not a fan of the yellow compound).

If you are looking for an upgrade that not only enhances the look of your ride along with performance, the Zero Gravity G-Cross Ti Cyclocross cantilever brake set is just the ticket.

Frank's Bike


Just finished this bike for a customer out of Basel Switzerland, one fly Ti Planet Cross. Very nice build, check out the custom made Dugast Rhino's with black sidewalls. Edge composites, Tune and Sram Red, I still have to throw it on the scale but it feels like 15.5 lbs...
