Here was a CROSS CUB at the meeting at Umekoji park of Kyoto on June 9th, 2013.
You might have thought what the CROSS CUB looked like. Actually, this CROSS CUB was developed by Kitaco as concept model only for this meeting, but a lot of surprise letters to this model came to Kitaco.
Let us explain "the" CROSS CUB.

"To Have a Masculine Image in Cute Body!”

Unlike feminine image Little Cub, CROSS CUB should be more low and wide, meaning wildness comes to appear in cute body.
It looks cute in the mountain as well as in the street.

First Thing to Change is Tires from 17" to 12"!

FRP Fenders along with tire arches

White Rim Tapes

12" wheels for APE
(one-off spacers)

100 width for front, 120 for rear, which make its style stout and fat. White Rim Line Tape and one-off fenders also make tires cute.
