Our Top 5 XC Bikes Of 2023 | GMBN Tech's Favourites

The UCI Mountain Bike Cross Country World Cup brought us some incredible racing with nailbiting courses, where some of the sections resemble early 2000s downhill tracks. The bikes are now having to adapt, with this year being the first year that some manufacturers released full-suspension XC bikes and others upping the rear wheel travel. With all this change in tech, Anna Cipullo and Owen Coutts thought they'd share with you their favourites from this year!
