GO FAST GEOMETRY
Superior’s XF Cross Country dualie series was designed with one goal: Go fast off-road! The large size features a fast 68° head tube angle, a confident 74.6° seat tube angle, 465mm reach (size large) for comfort, short 428mm chainstays for agile handling, and an 1169mm wheelbase for all-around racing and fire trail stability.
HIGH MODULUS CARBON
Coming in at 1717g, Superior’s lightweight, high-modulus carbon frame is one the lightest on the market. Built for maximum speed and stiffness and is just as at home on all-day rides as racing around your local XC trails. It also features internal cabling plus downtube and chainstay protectors.
DT SWISS F232 ONE FORK
The F232 ONE is engineered to meet the demands of intense modern-day XC courses. The fork features an XC-optimized linear spring, three-position damping with remote and weighs a paltry 1480g.
DT SWISS R 232 ONE SHOCK
The R232 ONE offers enough progression to float over rock gardens and take the A line at your local circuit. It also has a three-position adjustment remote lever with the perfect compression level for every situation.
DT SWISS M1900 WHEELS
DT Swiss has been making the highest-quality and most reliable wheels for every manufacturer since day one, and the eMTB-spec M1900 TLR wheelset with 370 hubs, Champion spokes, and alloy rims are no different.
FULL SHIMANO XT
The Shimano XT 12-Speed drivetrain has a 10-51T cassette and 34T chainring. It also features Shadow RD+ tech, an in-built clutch, and XT 2 Piston hydraulic disc brakes with Ice Tech and One Way Bleeding technologies.
