BIKE CHECK: Cheri’s XC bike

“I am using the bike for a 5 day stage race called Alps Epic in the Hautes-Alpes region of France. It’s got lots of big climbs, 3250m for the first 2 days…and techy descents. Covering between 50-70km per day.

The build I have makes the bike light enough to pedal and very robust for long Alpine descents. I will also race the national xc and marathon champs too on this bike.”
