The pro in question for this outing is a certified consistent podium threat with 2 Elite level‪@uci_mtbworldseries‬ XCO wins to her name, Cannondale Factory Racing's, Mona Mitterwallner. We took on the Les Gets XCO course at the Haute Savoie MTB festival with the help of our friends at Shimano to demonstrate just how much the bike has to contend with and how well the components take the abuse a full-gas race run in their stride.
