Double Cross DC

  • “This frame is underrated. People always rave about the [popular similar frame model we won't name]. Sure it's a great bike and what not, but I've ridden both and I like the DC better. Slightly lighter frame. Higher quality steel. Note I put on some 700x25c tires on them for my 15 mile crappy/rainy Seattle commute. For a steel bike, It's pretty quick and responsive. I don't even try to avoid potholes and rocks. ”

  • Unsolicited Soma Double Cross DC Reviews

    “Its been said that a great bike is a bike you want to ride everyday. The Soma Double Cross [DC] scores a 10 out of 10 on that basis. My initial impression on the bike was how big, but comfortable the fit is.... I’m on the drops about 50% of the time, the hoods are easy to ride and the cross bar is good to use at lower speeds and helps me look above the traffic as I commute. The very tall 195mm head-tube is golden. It puts the handlebar at just the right level without multiple spacers. It looks right, and the fit is great. The ride quality is remarkable. It provides a smooth comfortable ride as the rider seems to float along. I was looking for long distance traveling comfort and the steel frame with a carbon fiber fork is very damp and plush. The bike also feels lively and accelerates well. I can sprint to 25 mph at will. Handling is excellent and stability is also very good. The bike turns in quickly without feeling squirrelly. Stability is more than adequate. The bike will drift off line if the rider is daydreaming, but no issue IMO. It’s the kind of bike that wants to be driven hard at 20 mph or more. -- ”

  • A Favorite of MTB29.com

    Overall I'd say this is one of my favorite bikes to ride, especially when I just feel like going out and getting some excercise. Unless I'm going for a group road road, I'll usually opt for the Soma DC over my fancy carbon road bike. This bike is the ultimate for going out cruising on back roads, hitting some dirt and getting in a good workout. I've done four and five hour training rides on it with lots of climbing and come home feeling fresh. For the full review click here.

  • Double Cross DC Review in Bicycle Times

    "Coming off of a stiff aluminum bike, the Tange steel felt great. The ride quality of the steel was quickly apparent as it dampened just enough of the road chatter to smooth out my commute. Although the steel dampens vibrations the frame is responsive and quick, transferring my energy to the wheels and not side-to-side." For the complete review go here.
