Competitive XC Men Rider Booklet by Kristyvdl

COMPETITVE XC

Humans are funny creatures. If something has wheels, we’ll figure out a way to race it. Not only that, but we’re certain to be voraciously exploring every performance advantage in pursuit of victory along the way. Since the earliest era of mountain biking, our passion for cross country has remained unwavering, from Ned “The Captain” Overend winning Worlds in 1990, to Jaroslav Kulhavý riding his Epic 29 to both a XC World Championship and Olympic Gold, to grassroots racers everywhere, we give XC racers the fastest, podium-bound cross country mountain bikes possible.

EPIC

COMPETITIVE XC

XC World Championships, Olympic Gold, more Cape Epic wins than we can count—if a bike were the sum of its accolades, the Epic would sit atop the throne. But we think that a bike is the sum of its parts. After all, when you make the world's fastest cross country mountain bike, those wins come naturally. To make sure of it, Epics feature our proven 29er Geometry and legendary FSR suspension. And to take FSR's active and independent design a step further, we include our exclusive Mini Brain Rear Shock that's engineered to read the terrain for the perfect, most efficient ride possible. Result? The Epic puts out more speed, control, and ultimately, more wins, than any other XC bike out there. It doesn't get any faster.

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY COMPETITIVE XC GEOMETRY Our Competitive XC Geometry serves a very specific functionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;going as fast as possible. Of course, shear speed means nothing without handling and stability capability, which is why this no-compromises geometry has been the force behind numerous World Championships. It features ultra-short chainstays for nimble handling and direct power transfer, while the head and down tube angles are steeper than what's found in our Trail Geometry for the same reason. For maximum efficiency on the flats and climbs, Competitive XC also features a comparatively shorter wheelbase to better utilize pedal force. And for descents, it uses a roomy top tube that inspires confidence over technical sections and a relatively low bottom bracket height for stability through corners.

FACT CARBON FSR FRAME Whether you're going up or down the trail, it's no secret that lighter is faster. That's why our engineers obsessively work at refining our carbon frames to shave every non-essential gram. At the same time, every tube's shape and location is scrutinized, resulting in a sleek, stronger design that's optimized for utility. In terms of efficiency, it also allows for internal cable routing, massive bottom bracket shells, 142mm or greater rear hub spacing, and a tapered head tube. And for handling, FACT IS carbon frames permit a FSR 6-Pack or Concentric shock linkage for the perfect pivot location and suspension movement. In real-world terms, this equates to smoother, more responsive travel for an unparalleled ride quality.

BRAIN SUSPENSION Brain suspension technology was developed to deliver the utmost in efficiency on the trail. Whether it's at the front or rear of a bike's suspension, Brain is able to differentiate between rider input and trail bumps, ensuring that your pedaling forces aren't being wasted in compressing the suspension. But how does it work? Well, when you encounter a bump, the patented Inertia Valve disengages. This allows the oil to flow, which means that the shock immediately transitions from firm to fully active. When pedaling, however, Brain technology works to keep the suspension firm in order to maximize pedaling efficiency. Meanwhile, the easily accessible Brain Fade dial allows you to fine-tune how firm the shock is when not hitting bumps.

HAND-CRAFTED ROVAL WHEELS Call us obsessive, but in cross country racing, we know that every gram counts. That's why Roval XC mountain bike wheels place a strict focus on competitive racing, meaning that they deliver in the weight, stiffness, and durability departments. To do so, they're hand-built on ultra-light and incredibly stiff rims that are manufactured with a Zero Bead Hook design. This design pairs perfectly with tubeless tires, and it increases both strength and impactresistance. Altogether, you're guaranteed a fast set wheels that are strong enough to grant you confidence on the course's toughest lines.

COMMAND POST XCP The Command Post XCP is intended for use on cross country bikes with 27.2mm seatpost diameters, or for any bike where every gram is accounted for and scrutinized. Along these lines, it features a svelte carbon fiber construction that's produces a drastically lower weight than its other Command Post brethren. And in terms of travel, you get 35mm worth and two height adjustable positions, with the movement being cable actuated for less weight and broad compatibility. With the simplified setup, you'll be able to move between your descending and climbing position with ease, while also saving a hefty amount of weight along the way.

Make no mistake about it—cross country mountain bike racing is all about speed. So when it comes time to pick your bike, you need an agile weapon that delivers nothing short of blistering speed on the flats, climbs, and descents. Luckily for you, our Stumpjumper Hardtail mountain bikes answer the call. It has countless World and National Championships on its resume, and with an aggressive geometry that's dialed-in for precise handling at race speeds, it's easy to see why. Even better, it's available in both carbon fiber and alloy frame options in order to meet every race budget.

RACE-READY, OUT OF THE BOX •

FACT carbon fiber and M5 aluminum frames are lightweight and incredibly stiff for direct power transfer and efficiency.

•

142+ spacing creates incredible stiffness at the rear end, making every watt of effort count towards your speed on the trail.

•

Brain-equipped forks, featured on most models, differentiate between rider and trail input, ensuring a stiff front end while pedaling and a plush ride quality over bumps.

•

Razor-thin seatstay design creates vertical compliance for added comfort over rough terrain.

•

29" Roval wheels are lightweight, wide, and incredibly stiff for lightning fast accelerations, holding speed on the flats, and confident control on descents.

FACT CARBON HT FRAME When it comes to the creating the perfect blend of climbing efficiency and proper trail manners, it's nearly impossible to beat a carbon hardtail frame. The reasons for this are stacking. To start, compared to a full-suspension mountain bike, the lack of linkages, shocks, and extra cables saves a tremendous amount of weight. Then there's the issue of the power transfer of pedaling forces. With a hardtail, you'll never run the risk of dissipating your efforts by compressing the suspension with your pedal stroke, meaning that every watt is going straight to the rear end of the bike. And with a carbon fiber construction, this is amplified to a high degree.

CRAVE

COMPETITIVE XC

Whether you're making a full-go at cross country mountain bike racing or simply looking to upgrade your confidence level on the trail, the Crave hardtail mountain bike proves to be the perfect choice. To make sure of it, we built the Crave on our race-proven 29er geometry that mates a low-slung bottom bracket and roomy top tube with incredibly short chainstays. But how does this translate to the ride? Well, you get the benefit of feeling planted and secure in the bike without sacrificing snappy, responsive handling or power transfer to the rear end. And when you factor in a durable, lightweight M4 aluminum frame and build specs that are competition-ready, the Crave quickly becomes the obvious mountain bike for anyone who demands speed and reliability.

RACE-PROVEN PERFORMANCE •

Race-driven geometry, tapered head tube, and M4 alloy frame create snappy, responsive handling on both climbs and descents

•

Air-sprung fork with 100mm of suspension travel, magnesium lowers, and rebound adjust smooth out the trail without stacking on the grams

•

Bridgeless seatstays, tapered seat tube, and 27.2mm seatpost make for a compliant ride, while also reducing weight in the process

M4 ALUMINUM FRAME By combining hydroformed tube shapes with high-quality aluminum as well as expertly hand-welded construction, our M4 aluminum frames are a seamless blend of performance and durability. Add to that a purpose-built geometry focused on responsive performance and confident handling, and our M4 frames have all the performance youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever need.

DISC BRAKES On the trail, the stopping power of disc brakes stands without rival. And whether they're hydraulic or mechanical, disc brakes provide increased modulation, power, and reliability through any condition or terrain. The design also works independent of the rim, so they come with the added benefit of performing with equal aplomb to get you home safely when your wheels are out of true. The combined result? You're able to ride with more confidence and control.

1X10 / 1X11 GEARING There are countless ways to drop a chain, and they all suck. Moreover, they almost all revolve around a front derailleur issue. It's for this reason that one-by setups are becoming increasingly popular, and it's also the reason why so many of our bikes are now specifically designed for 1x11 or 1x10 gearing. This design makes it nearly impossible to drop your chain, while the wide range of gears at the rear means that you won't have to sacrifice either climbing efficiency or power on the flats and descents. And on top of all this, the minimal setup leads to a very noticeable weight savings, a cleaner cockpit configuration with more room for dropper post controls, and reduced maintenance over time.
