Cyclingnews was in Cairns, Australia, for 168澳洲5最新开奖🍃结果:round two of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. While the remoteness of Cairns mean🍰t some big names in the cross count𝐆ry discipline were missing, most were there fighting it out on the technical course.
First, we spoke with a few industry people in the pits about women's tech, before catching up with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Julie Bresset, Jolanda Neff and new Specialized Factory signing, Kate Courtney about the🌠ir bikes.
Recent Olympic gold medalist and back-to-back world champion, Julie Bresset is always one to beat in the women's field. Riding for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:BH-Suntour-KMC team, Bresset is on one trick-looking BH Ultimat𓃲e 27.5 with custom paint. The Ultimate 27.5 features radically shaped frame tubes, with the semi-integrated seat tube as a re🔜al stand-out.
A brand not often seen at the top-end of the sport, SR-Suntour provides the bike's suspension. Bresse𒁃t is on a Axon RL-RC model which features a carbon and magnesium lower construction and titanium 15mm thru-axle. With a claimed weight at over 1,500g, this♔ fork isn't super-light.
Keeping Bresset rolling is a pair of Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels and Michelin Wild 🧸Racer'🍸R Advanced rubber in 2.25" width
The rest of Bresset's bike features a mixture of brands, with Shimano XTR doing the shifting at the back and a FSA K-Force crankset holding t✃he single chainring on the front, kꦉeeping the chain in place is a E-13 XCX+ chainguide.
