2018 V20 Coming Down the Line

Cruzbike has had a big summer of racing. Our mixed 4-person RAAM record once again proved just how fast the V20 can be over mountains and in the flats. Just last weekend Jim kicked his new V20 into high gear and dropped the (fast) competition at the UMCA 100 Mile championship, with Larry Oslund right behind. I won the women’s race despite taking a mid-race break to cool off. Shoutouts to Kevin, Lanier, Ken and Jeffrey who all did very well in the 12 hour race. How proud I am of you! I feel sorry for anyone who races any other bike.

What you may not have known is that Kevin, Larry, Jim and I were racing a new V20. Today - I’m excited to announce that the new 2018 V20 will be released very soon (we will begin accepting orders September 18, 2017). The 2018 V20 has the same shape as previous versions, but it has some really exciting changes that make it the fastest, most versatile V20 ever.

It’s the same sleek, light-but-strong hydroformed frame, with a re-designed power triangle to make it faster, and allow much more freedom in component options. We’ve also dialed in the included handlebar. It’s better and lighter. We've also got some exciting (and limited) options exclusive to this launch. You've seen the beautiful gold V20 frame we revealed in Race Across America. There is more, but I don’t want to give it all away. Sign up for the V20 updates here http://cruzbike.com/launch for first access to all things V20 launch.

Once again, we are grateful to you, our friends, our Cruzbike family, for supporting us. Your feedback has been invaluable, and your enthusiasm is the fuel that keeps us going.

That is the most beautiful version yet !!! love the yellow gold !!!
Agreed and will go a step further by stating that this version is one of the most beautiful bikes ever produced, and I'm including DFs. I didn't think the V20 could get much nicer after the dark grey version went to market but this is museum centerpiece caliber beauty (if museums celebrating cycling art even exist).

Will there be option of the RAAM ride identical bike, WITH the RAAM team signatures on each frame!
That is a cool idea Slim. I know Bob has a list of everything on the RAAM V's.
Actual signatures would be the hardest to do. However everyone could digitally sign a doc, and then someone nice stencil with adhesive vinyl could be cur out and applied. That is how I created the lettering on my CF wheels that say : Larry Oz, and Cruzbike on them.

Looking forward to the launch of the V20.1 (or whatever it is). I'm hoping that 'upgrade' accessories like the new chainstay will be part of the upgrade. I'd like to see other accessories made available...like a T50 fork (to 'upgrade' my V2/k).
