Giant Crosscut Metro 2

Yes, it is designed for mixed-surface use. While it excels on pavement, the robust casing and tread pattern provide reliable traction on light gravel and hard-packed dirt paths.

It is tubeless-ready, meaning you can run it without a tube if you use a tubeless-compatible rim and sealant. However, it can also be used with a standard inner tube if you prefer.

The tire features an integrated DEFECT 2 lite puncture protection strip. This layer sits beneath the tread to help deflect sharp debris like glass or thorns before they can penetrate the casing.

This tire is a 700c x 32mm size. You should check your bike frame and fork clearance to ensure you have enough space for a 32mm width, as some older road bikes are limited to narrower tires.

Yes, the smooth urban tread pattern is specifically engineered to maintain traction on wet surfaces, making it a dependable choice for commuting in varied weather conditions.
