Marathon racing demands a light, agile, efficient and comfortable bike. The Elite C:68X ticks all those boxes and more – so you can ride further and faster than ever.

The Elite C:68X SLX is a bike that shows you mean business. There's no component system that compares with Shimano XTR for function, reliability and durability – so that's what we fitted. From the huge range of the 1x12 gears to the predictable stopping power of the hydraulic disc brakes, it represents the best of the best. We added a light, stiff and strong Newmen Advanced carbon tubeless-ready wheelset, fitted with folding Schwalbe tyres and ultra-light Aerothan tubes. And the supple, accurate Fox 32 Step-Cast Factory fork smooths your way to the podium. It's ready. Are you?

Power. Speed. Control. For a high-performance race frame like the Elite C:68X, it's all in the details. Our premium C:68X® carbon material and Advanced Twin Mold monocoque manufacturing technique have allowed us to create one of the lightest cross-country hardtails around. Optimised carbon lay-up, a tapered head tube and Boost rear axle translate into rapid acceleration. Slender seatstays help absorb trail vibration, so you can push harder for longer. And Agile Ride Geometry puts you firmly in control, so you can power ahead of the competition.
