I've got both bikes and I can certainly say, they are both far from each other. I use the Speeder with wider 37c WTB riddler tires and it is still fast enough to make a noticible difference between Crossway with 40c tires. Thought I would sell one of the bike, but can't get rid of the Crossway due to its comfort and adjustability, especially when I tow 1seat Croozer and carry on 1 back child seat. Such things, I would never like to have on speeder. So defilintelly love both bikes, each different way. Speeder when I ride alone. Crossway when I ride with family or friends just for enjoying the day.

Yeah I have the Crossway 500 with suspension. It is is definitely an upright bike to cruise in comfort whilst maintaining a decent speed. Great deore gears. Climb anything. Fits my 29er rims and tyres easily for offroad days. No matter what though, I feel like it's just not ever going to feel fast like the speeder.

In my opinion best option will be Crossway but with rigid fork for wide tires. It will be bestseller. It has great geometry, but there is no need to have this suspension with poor functionality, it just creates extra weight.

I just came across this video by accident but I have a Crossway 10 which is an older version with rim brakes which are perfectly fine for me and it's a solid bike but definitely not fast. I use it for carrying a lot of cargo with bags for everything. And I also regularly pull a trailer with occasionally 70kg+ loads. It's a commuter, shopper, social and cargo bike for me.

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

Hi there, the CROSSWAY is also designed for use as a touring bike and the geometry is designed to work with fully laden panniers. It's possible to fit panniers to the SPEEDER as well, but the sporty geometry will make it less suited to heavier loads. Hope that helps!

Hi, the SPEEDER has a much lower, more stretched out riding position thanks to more reach plus flat bars and a low-rise stem. If you don't like an upright position, it's likely to suit you better than the CROSSWAY, which is quite upright. Either way, we'd suggest heading to a dealer and trying them out for yourself, if possible. Hope that helps!
