Pro Bike Check: Superior XF 9.9 Team XC Marathon Race Bike of Jaroslav Kulhavy
Briefly

A true XC veteran, Jarda was the UCI Cross-Country World Champion in 2011. He won Olympic XC Gold the next year 2012 in London. Then, wrapped up the cross-country disciplines with a UCI XC Marathon World Championship win in 2014 and a Cape Epic win in 2018.
His latest race weapon of choice is the 2024 Superior XF 9.9 Team, the recent XC race bike from the largest Czech bike manufacturer. The new XF - which we covered last summer at Eurobike - is a lightweight, short travel carbon XC bike with 110mm of travel front and rear and modern long, slack & low geometry.
Setup & Tech details: Kulhavy's setup hasn't changed all that much over the years. Sure, his XF Team bike now features fully internal routing through the headset. And his drivetrain and dropper are wireless. But he hasn't stopped running a top SRAM drivetrain, brakes, and dropper post.
