That XCR stands for cross-country race, and that’s not something we say lightly. Everything’s as strong and light as possible, from the FEA- optimized, full high-modulus carbon fiber frame on the Team and Pro, to the triple-butted lightweight Kinesium tubing with semi-hollow chainstay yoke and forged-then-CnC’d suspension bellcrank on the Race (we’ve even positioned the hollows on the yoke to minimize dirt fill-up -- yeah, we’re really that detail-oriented).

Our famously active, stable-under-power mp3 suspension is optimized for cross-country performance and it’s all laid out in our signature geometry, with weight distribution that optimizes traction and handling, with responsiveness that’s simply unreal. Seriously. it’s that good.
