Racing’s in our blood. We’ve taken World Cup wins and NORBA titles and it’s a serious part of our product
development and our commitment to the sport. So when we call a bike Team or Pro it’s much more than
a name. It’s our name. It’s what we do.
This year’s Dakar XCR Team and XCR Pro share a new, lightweight carbon frame that makes turning race
laps as easy as turning the pedals. Produced using the same state-of-the-art carbon fiber technologies as
our revolutionary Xenith. Our advanced monocoque construction process assures uniform compaction and
continuous fiber overlap for superior strength in an exceptionally lightweight platform. Top and down tubes are
tri-ovalized for optimal stiffness with SST size-specific tubing diameters tuning that stiffness for every frame size.
Both take full advantage of our race-proven mp3 multi-link suspension – fully active with pivot placement optimized
for a solid pedal platform with minimal chain growth or pedal feedback. The shock-friendly 2.63:1 leverage ratio
assures the Fox rear shocks will work as intended so tires stay planted and secure whether you’re forging ahead on a
climb, or stretching your lead on a descent.
Components spec is all top shelf. There’s not a reason to upgrade ever -- seriously.
These bikes are built to win from day one.
Just as we do for our Xenith series road frames, the top and down tubes of the carbon XCR
frames are tri-ovalized for optimal stiffness, both vertically and laterally, in the lightest
possible package. Each XCR frame also offers SST (size-specific tubing) diameters, assuring
the highest possible stiffness-to-weight ratios and optimal riding characteristics for each
frame size.

The beauty of carbon fiber is the freedom and flexibility a frame designer has with lay-up and
shape. On our alloy XCR frames, we need to attach a support bracket between down tube and seat
tube to reinforce the down tube for the suspension loads that will be applied through the shock. On
the carbon XCR, we can simply apply more carbon fiber in the shock bracket area to strengthen the
down tube without significantly increasing weight.
