Races don't win themselves, which is why it's important that a bike should look after its rider. The Elite C:68X Race's efficient, light and comfortable frame is part of the story. Its Newmen Evolution tubeless-ready wheelset, lightweight folding Schwalbe tyres and new RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork are another. Combined with powerful Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes and the precise shifting of Sram's wide-ranging XX1 1x12 transmission, it's a setup that combines blistering pace with sublime control and surprising comfort.
Power. Speed. Control. For a high performance race frame like the Elite C:68X, it's all in the details. The premium C:68X carbon material and Advanced Twin Mold monocoque manufacturing technology have allowed us to create one of the lightest cross-country hardtails around. Optimised carbon lay-up, a tapered head tube and Boost rear axle translate into rapid acceleration. Slender seatstays help absorb trail vibrations, so you can push harder for longer. And Agile Ride Geometry puts you firmly in control. Power ahead of the competition...
