World Cup Bike Check: Chris Blevin's World Champion S-Works Epic mud machine

Racing a World Cup in the USA brings out the animal in Chris Blevins . Last year the short track World champion rocketed to a beyond-convincing win in the Men’s Elite Olympic Cross County.Blevins was similarly calm but aggressive for the short track at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Snow Shoe. The World Champ played it cool and stayed with the lead group most of the race, avoiding a crash by current XCO World Champion Nino Schurter.

Cool, collected, and explosive, Blevins popped out from the draft of Vlad Dascalu and secured the second win for the USA of the short track weekend. The crowd erupted similarly to his win last year, but this time Blevins was adorned with the unmistakable rainbow stripes of the World Champion.The course was muddy but tacking up by the time men toed the start line. Blevins opted for the S-Works Epic he claimed victory on last season but with some slight changes in tires and saddle.

The 29 x 2.1 tire looked a good option for the women’s race but slightly overkill for the men’s conditions.
