A closer look at the Rockrider RACE 904S on which Sammie Maxwell is dominating the 2025 World Cup

New Zealander Samara Maxwell is being one of the great protagonists, and surprises, of this XCO season. First she took the victory in the Oceania Championship and reached the premiere of the XCO World Cup where she won and since then she has not been off the podium. In addition, she has just won in Andorra her second World Cup with a brilliant performance.

These results have catapulted her to number 1 in the UCI ranking and she is the current leader of the overall World Cup. Something that reflects well on the Rockrider RACE 904S that she has been riding since wearing the leader's jersey of the competition.

The Rockrider RACE 904S with which Samara Maxwell has not been off the XCO World Cup podium this season

One of the novelties of the 2025 World Cup season is the choice of fixed numbers for all participants who have won at least one race in their career, but there is a number that could not be chosen, not even by Nino Schurter. The number 1 is reserved for the leader of the overall classification.

Since the Nove Mesto World Cup, Samara Maxwell is riding this custom Rockrider RACE 904S to match the characteristic red color of the leader's jersey.
