The 10 fastest bikes of the Nove Mesto World Cup 2022

It is very interesting to see how in a matter of a few years new brands have reached the top of the XCO World Cup, and with this review of the bikes on the podium in Nove Mesto it is clear that there are more and more options with which to race and win.

Hard rooty uphills, rock garden, downhills with consecutive jumps and pump track are just some of the ingredients of the Nove Mesto World Cup circuit. A perfect track to push your equipment to the limit and test which models and innovations can have an advantage in competition.
