Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about Handsling bikes and what separates us from the competition. For questions on ordering, delivery, maintenance, and much more, go to our support centre.
Why choose a carbon cyclocross bike?
Carbon cyclocross bikes are lighter to shoulder and stiffer for quick acceleration out of corners and on hilly sections. Tyre clearance supports CX-legal 33 mm knobby tyres (with wider options for training). We tailor the bike to your fit and courses and assemble it in the UK.
Are carbon cyclocross bikes worth it for beginners?
Yes – if you plan to race or progress quickly. A carbon cyclocross bike gives lower weight, efficient power transfer, and precise handling, which makes skills sessions and early races more controlled. You can start with an entry level set up and upgrade over time on the same frame.
Cyclocross bike vs gravel or road – what’s the difference?
A cyclocross bike provides an excellent riding experience on road and gravel. However, its geometry and carbon layup are geared towards short, punchy CX races where traction, handling and acceleration are key. The CEXevo will fit up to 40mm tyres, making it a highly versatile frame for all terrains. A road bike is stiffer and more aerodynamic, with less tyre clearance. A gravel bike has clearance for up to 55mm tyres and has ‘slacker’ geometry to aid traction and stability on loose surfaces.
Which is best for cyclocross racing – 1x or 2x drivetrain?
For CX racing, a 1x set up has simpler shifting controls and no front mech that could clog up in muddy conditions. A 2x drivetrain provides smaller jumps between gears and the option to shift into the big ring for instant power.
What is the lead time for a Handsling custom cyclocross bike?
Typically 4-6 weeks, depending on paint choice and component availability. If you have a race deadline, we can advise in-stock options and confirm a build slot before assembly.
Do you offer carbon CX framesets-only so I can move parts across?
Yes, carbon cyclocross frameset-only options are available (subject to current stock). You can transfer suitable components; we’ll confirm compatibility for drivetrain, wheels/tyres and brakes during the enquiry.
Do you offer sizing advice in the UK?
Yes. You can book a visit to our Hampshire facility or use Remote Tailored Sizing. We’ll set your position, discuss gearing, wheels and tyres, and finalise your build before UK assembly. To arrange a visit to our factory, contact sales@handslingbikes.com or call 01420 612700.

I seem to have a long list of things that the Handsling team are helping out with - advice / adjustments / fitting / etc... literally nothing seems too much to ask. So in short - the whole team has been fantastic - at no point has this felt like a 'transaction' - I feel like I've got a 'family' who are as passionate about the sport as I am!
Very positive experience highly recommend their service and bikes. Took time on my questions and excessive pondering.
When I ride it on asphalt, I feel like I am on my road bike and when on gravel it feels as stable as a MTB. Cool!
