MVP’S OTHER BIKES

The 25-year-old phenom blitzed his way to superstardom when he sprinted from distance to win last year’s Amstel Gold race, but he also routinely hammers Nino Schurter on the mountain bike, and he’s unbeatable at cyclocross.

For CX races, Van der Poel rides a Canyon Inflite CF SLX 9.0. It’s available for mere mortals in team colours with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset and carbon Reynolds Assault LE DB wheels (R79 999).

And when MVP’S competing on the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup circuit, he rides the Canyon Lux CF SLX 9.0, which is also available in team colours with Shimano XTR and a Fox 32 Stepcast Factory fork, keeping the weight to an impressive 10.1kg – that’s including a KS LEV CI carbon dropper post (R114 999).

Truth be told, MVP is so much better than everyone else, he could ride the Western Flyer in your garage and still win races!
