XC競速自行車2023 | UCI山地自行車越野世界盃

Hello and welcome to Novo Meso Namurave in the Czech Republic host to the first round of the UCI Mountain Bike Cross Country Short Track Olympic and Marathon World Cups Before the racing gets underway, let's take a look at the new bikes and tech the riders will be hoping to take to victory this weekend I'm Henke Vansini, riding for Caloi Henke Vansini Racing Team, and I'm from Brazil I'm riding the Caloi Elite Team Edition And that's a bike that I've been involved with pretty closely on development and also on setting the specs and setup It's quite challenging to be involved on the development of a bike Sitting down with the engineers, then going to field tests, then understanding on how the bike works And where you can improve and extract the most of it on racetracks I'm on a medium frame, riding with 120mm in the front and 100mm on the rear shock Setting a new team, personal project gave me the chance to choose the components that I wanted to ride with And that's pretty nice for sure to get in touch with the brands that I want, not that any company wants me to ride with And that's pretty nice, since around October I've been testing so many stuff and trying so many stuff Until I took my decisions, considering my partners That's currently what I love the most about my bike, it's everything new to me To me it's not just a bike that someone put me on it to race It's a bike that I built, it's a bike that I choose the parts It's a bike that I'm involved with on every boat, on every single piece So there's a lot of emotions and feelings on that machine So I do believe that it's a very crucial winning compound So I'm Tito Ancarod and I'm riding for Team BMC This is the Fullstroke 01 and it's M size To my teammates, maybe for sure the position The height of the saddle, the lower of the stem and handlebar And maybe also all the tyre settings and suspension settings Favorite thing is the autodrop, like this I just have to push full on the lever and the saddle goes down And just in the middle on the lever and it goes up It can also work like a normal one like this That's helped me a lot because I can pedal till the last moment And that avoid me a lot of squat during the race So it's quite nice The forks and the rear shocks are new Last year we were with another company This year with Ohlins We did some testing with Ohlins during all the winter Also with Pirelli, also with BMC to try to improve the bike Yeah, a lot of testing and I love it It's a part of our job, so it's nice It's important to have a light bike Not the lightest because I don't want to take some risk But yeah, to gain some weight in some parts It's quite important for me We want 10.5 kilos Yeah, the first World Cup is always nice And yeah, it was a long time since last year The last World Cup, so yeah, I'm really excited I'm Yolanda Neff and I ride for Trek Factory Racing I ride the Trek Supercaliber, size medium I don't know too many techy details or setup specifics What I really don't like is when my position changes I broke a saddle and then I had to put a new saddle on Which was a different model And then I really don't like that when it feels a tiny bit different Yeah, I really like to have the same saddle on all my bikes On my road bike, on my mountain bike We do change the chainring size for short track races I always take a bigger size chainring And for cross country, I'm usually on the 32 Tire pressure and the suspension as well I have like a baseline that we start with at every race And then only when I feel I need to really change something Then I make some adjustments I used to ride Crank Brothers for a long time And right now I'm testing the Look pedals I'm not set yet exactly which ones I'm gonna run at the races But for now, I'm testing them This paint job is smoky So it's like a white base and then smoke all over So it's very individual Every bike looks different Yeah, there's some gold touches on the paint job I don't even know how much my bike weighs So obviously it's not very important to me But I guess it's around 10 kilos, I guess I really love this bike because it's so special The way it works with the integrated suspension into the frame No other bike has this kind of suspension It's really unique So I love it I love the feel of it And I felt great on this bike from day one onwards And I've really enjoyed riding this bike on all kinds of tracks I never have to second guess And I always feel right at home on this bike I'm Alejandro Rodríguez Mechanic to Primaflor Mondraker Genuines team And I'm mechanic to André Ching and Rebecca McConnell This is a Mondraker F-Podium RR Yeah, this size for André is L Wheels Mavic Crossmax And tire is a Maxxis And this is Aspen And this is a new group, the SRAM XX The set post is S-AX And the other components is the OnOff For all riders, it's the same part Okay, this fork is a 120 travel And the shock is a 115 With this block the same time The pressure for forks and shocks is a 72 and 132 Rear Depends the track is more pressure or less pressure He tell me I prefer this or prefer this Yeah, André come to Spain for Mondraker factory To do the setting And in wheels is a one bar and one rear André always do the full suspension My name is Anna Tabstra And I'm riding for Ghost Factory Racing I'm riding an S frame And 29 inch wheels My tire pressure actually never changes 99% of the races I'm at 1.1 bar in the front And 1.3 bar at the back I'm always racing with tire inserts To protect from flat tires My fork has 80 PSI And my shock has 170 But this is something that I change every now and then Like course specific We do sometimes a bit more Sometimes a bit less We play a little bit with rebound But right now this is how I will try to get on course Yeah, I have a 10 centimeter dropper post in And like without my reverb I would be dying on the descent I'm so used to it It's maybe a bit special about my bike My cockpit looks a little bit different Than of the other girls But I prefer to have like a small blip box For the dropper post And that makes it possible for me to Change the dropper with the right hand And change my suspension with the left hand So basically at the same time So my bike is 10.2 kilos Of course sometimes that also changes a bit So also the weight will not always Be exactly the same But for me like of course It's important that it's light But it's more important that it works well So it has to do what I need On a course out there So therefore I will make the choice to Run the reverb Which is a bit heavier But it will just make me quicker in the downhill And I also make the choice to Run the tire inserts Because it saves me from flat tires But I would say the most special thing About my bike And the thing that makes me most happy Is actually the traction link Ghost bikes make the suspension work in a way That it gets more stiff when I pedal harder And of course on a climb with a lot of roots If you pedal hard You want to have some suspension But you also don't want to lose energy In the suspension And that makes it like For me the perfect bike to race Yeah and a small detail maybe That I like a lot Is that I have my name on my grip So makes it a bit personal
