The French Victor Koretzky is one of the top favorites for the XCO World Cup 2025 that will start this weekend in Brazil. And there we will see him for the first time competing with a custom-made S-Works Epic 8 that has been specially customized for him as the current World Champion in the Short Track discipline.
New S-Works Epic 8 for Victor Koretzky
We could say that the Epic 8, presented less than a year ago, is Koretzky's favorite model. Undoubtedly, it was the one he used the most in competition last season and he already had the opportunity to showcase a special edition of the S-Works Epic 8 after winning the XCC World Championship. But in 2025, he will debut a new design that stands out for its aesthetics and details.
