Four Cross

You need a couple of different tools to be a World Cup 4X racer. For the buttery smooth World Cup courses, most of our racers will run the DJ. When the going gets rough, the 4X is the way to go.

This purpose-built bike has been in our race teams quiver since its inception as a special projects bike over four years ago. Why is this? Because it is one hell of a fun bike and is at home on all types of terrain. The progressive 3.25 of travel is stiff on the takeoffs and gives you a bit of cushion if you misjudge a landing. Gate starts are a breeze aboard the 4X, and forgiving nature of the rear suspension means you won't work as hard to motor through braking and bumps into a turn.

But its abilities aren't limited to racetracks. There may not be a better bike on the planet for jump trails at your local bike park (think: A-line), and the short wheel base puts you in the perfect attack position to hammer berms on your lunchtime ride.
