How Fast Are World Cup Race Winners? Beginner VS Amateur VS Pro XC Edition

Estimated read time 4 min read

Post Content

 

​ We’re pitting a beginner XC rider (Cameraman Nick), against an Amateur (believe it or not Neil has never raced XC!) against a Pro racer to show just how insane the feats that these athletes can accomplish are. The pro in question for this outing is a certified consistent podium threat with 2 Elite level@uci_mtbworldseries XCO wins to her name, Cannondale Factory Racing’s, Mona Mitterwallner. We took on the Les Gets XCO course at the Haute Savoie MTB festival with the help of our friends at Shimano to demonstrate just how much the bike has to contend with and how well the components take the abuse a full-gas race run in their stride.
