There are only two tests left for the closing of the XCO World Cup 2025 and the Decathlon Ford Racing Team has consolidated itself as one of the great protagonists of the year. Currently, it holds the second position in the UCI ranking by teams and, if the forecasts are met, Samara Maxwell will be crowned the overall champion. To top off a historic season, the team is also debuting new colors on its Rockrider RACE 904S.

The Rockrider RACE 904S is a direct result of competition. The Decathlon team has been refining it for years through different prototypes until its arrival on the market, and since then it has earned a prominent place among the best XCO bikes, both for professionals and amateurs. It is no coincidence that it is already a regular on the World Cup podiums and that this weekend it could seal the overall title hand in hand with Sami Maxwell.

This new aesthetic aims to optimize a finish as light as possible (there is hardly any paint on the frame) with a very attractive and unique result

The New Zealand rider has competed practically the entire season with a special edition that pays homage to the red leader's jersey of the Cup, while the rest of the team has done so with a black and white finish, now renewed for the last two stops of the calendar.

The mint green returns to the team's frame, it is the characteristic color of Decathlon, but this season it had disappeared from the bikes and we only saw it in the cyclists' kit

In the North American tests, the Decathlon Ford Racing Team will align a completely customized bike, in which the characteristic mint green of the French team stands out. Even the RockShox SID Flight Attendant fork has received an exclusive treatment with a gradient matching the frame, reinforcing the unique identity of the set.
