What they say:

"A road style frame and tires with traction for on- and off-road action leave you free to roam wherever you please. Cyclo-cross, adventure racing, long-haul tours, commuting or any place pavement meets dirt. Inside Tech Durability is the ticket when you’re mixing terrain. Luckily, the Tricross (expert and comp level) is equipped with bomb-proof Pavé™ wheels that allow shorter spokes for more stiffness and strength. Combined with sealed cartridge bearings on both hubs and durable DT Swiss spokes with brass nipples, these wheels are long-haul capable and freeroad lovin’."

bought mine second hand as a trade in from a guy who changes bike every 6 months, his loss and definatley my gain.
Light and responsive excellent value for money and a real blast. Ignore the slaggers who comment without riding one.
If you can only afford one bike this is well worth a look
