The second round of the 2022 XC World Cup is well underway in Germany after a flat out
XCC Short Track race, we've been for a lap of the pits to see what's fresh in Albstadt:
The Bixs team are running DT Swiss dropper posts.
Anne Terpstra's cockpit setup.
The logos really pop in the light.
Jolanda's mechanic Alvaro really went to town on this one.
A closer look at what looks to be electronic SR Suntour suspension.

Downhill, is and always will be the pinnacle of mtb. People who say they're all sessions just dont understand what they are looking at. There is a certain breed of mtber who thinks aesthetics=engineering. These people are very silly...
Having a bunch of pros ride those bikes way out of their element and video it was another stroke of genius.
XC racing is the slowest and least advanced sector of mountainbiking. Dated geometry with most bikes still not running dropper posts...Comparing them to F1 is just ridiculous!
DH is the pinnacle for sure but we are only now getting back to the level of tech used by the mighty all winning Sunn team from the late 90s.
The Ibis, however, looks like a mountain bike. Just a really light one.
