SRAM-sponsored athletes at this weekend’s World Championships in Vallnord, Andorra are going to be going for gold, while riding some. SRAM has made an exclusive production run of gold-coloured cassettes and chains for its racers in their search to win one.
Enough to spur you on for gold perhaps?
Downhillers and cross country racers alike will be rocking the gold, so expect to see a few of these up the front of the results.
It’s not actual real gold plating, but hey, if you win, perhaps they’ll make some just for you.
And with that, may we wish all the racers this weekend the best of luck. We’ll be tuning in to Red Bull TV to follow the action.
