Average price for Crosscountry bikes
If you want an acceptable Crosscountry bike you should know that the average price is 1905$. However, this doesn’t mean that if you spend less money on a Crosscountry bike, you couldn’t get a decent one. To make sure you don’t pay a higher amount than normal for your bike, always do some components analysis and read reviews.
Average weight for Crosscountry bikes
On a deeper look, we notice that the average weight of a Crosscountry bike is 12.4 kg (27.34 lbs). Having an easier bike than average will give you a great advantage on climbs. However, a heavier bike will gain more speed on descends.

Overview of components
Fork
The Tahoe (Europe only) comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCM fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Wheels
The wheels on Tahoe (Europe only) are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Fuji Tahoe (Europe only) is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
