Five 2024 Cross-Country Bikes You Don't Want To Miss!

Cross-Country is cool again! The bikes are more capable than ever, the racing is intense and mountain biking’s top brands are flat-out creating some of the lightest, fastest bikes ever to grace the circuit. It’s like Formula 1 on two wheels, just with less of the one-driver, one-team domination…
Cross-Country bikes are now far more adept at tackling the rougher, gnarlier courses and longer, lower and slacker is a key theme. However, the tradition of watching the grams is still abundant, with teams and brands going to some extreme lengths to keep weight low and performance high.
We’ve picked out five of the lightest production cross-country bikes you can buy, all of which can stake a claim to podium glory in the last two years. Extra points if you can spot which ones look rather similar…
Which would you choose if you were on the start line? Let us know down below!
