After a dominating gold medal ride at the Tokyo Olympics, Jolanda Neff and Trek mountain bike design extraordinaire Katy Steudel took to the lab to create the perfect graphics and paint scheme for the newly crowned champion. Steudel and Neff took inspiration from Japanese tranquility, apple blossoms, mountains, and bamboo.

The canvas is Trek’s top-of-the-line cross country race machine, the Trek Supercalaber. A bike that has incurred much curiosity over the past years with its shrouded secret shock — eventually unveiled as a 60mm all-out race machine. ( Check out our review here )

The frame paint is stunning gold with semi-matte cream-colored background, making the vibrancy of gold pop even more. The design is tasteful without being over the top. The metallic gold primarily reflects on the top tube, bottom bracket junctions, and chainstays, giving a light reflection.

The paint job was a group effort within Trek’s Project One custom paint crew, with Steudel, other product designers, and paint experts pitching in.

Every possible upgrade, whether for performance or aesthetics, was thought of while designing Neff’s Supercaliber rocket.

If you look closely, you notice gold trim Nokon cable housing, golden stem bolts on the Bontrager RSL one-piece bar stem , and gold/oil slick Bontrager pedals.

These aren’t the off-the-shelf ones though, we chatted with Alvaro — Trek Factory Racing mechanic for Eve Richards, Jolanda, and other Trek superstars.

He informed us these are Bontrager bodies with a Ti-spindle to lighten up the already respectable pedals.

This functional piece of art isn’t just for show. Neff took it through the paces once it was ready to battle at the World Championships at Vali di Sole.

Neff runs Bontrager’s Kovvee XXX wheels and for the preride (and short track) went with Bontrager XR3 tires.

Each of the Trek Factory Team pros has their own unique top cap; Neff’s is the Swiss flag.

Rounding out the gold look is a classic mix of SRAM Eagle AXS shifting components and a special edition SRAM Eagle gold chain.

Awesome sauce!

nice wellgo pedals

“Yolanda”, for real? Embarrassing and dare I say disrepectful.

Paola Pezzo called. She wants her gold leaf Olympic XC bike and style back.

What are you on about? Pezzo’s bike looked nothing like this, and this isn’t even gold leaf. Although both were made by Trek, fwiw.

@Gillis: don’t sweat the little details man. They’re both gold, they’re both ridden by hardcore blonde athletes, they’re both Treks, they’re both Olympic gold medal winning bikes. Seems pretty similar to me.

Pro Bike: Jolanda Neff's golden Trek Supercaliber

The Olympic Champion gets a gold and bamboo-themed bike for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships

The Olympic Champion has a new bike for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships . 

Jolanda Neff rode to a gold medal in the Olympic mountain bike race in Tokyo last month, and now she has a golden Trek Supercaliber that uses bamboo and Japanese iconography to invoke the setting of her victory. 

The bike, designed by Trek's Katy Steudel, combines flashy gold paint with more subdued shades of white. 

The downtube, seat tube, and chainstay all feature a bamboo leaf pattern, which was reportedly inspired by a folding fan found by Neff. There is also a Japanese beetle hidden among the leaves. 

“I looked at Japanese art forms, did some concepts, and Jolanda chose from them and we took it away,” Steudel explained. 

There are also multiple references to Neff's native Switzerland, one of the most dominant mountain biking nations. In addition to Neff's gold medal, Switzerland took the other two podium spots in the women's Olympic mountain bike race as well as a silver medal in the men's race. 

A Swiss name badge on the inside of the downtube plus a Swiss stem cap will match Neff's Switzerland national team kit for the short track and XCO races at the World Championships in Val di Sole, Italy this week. 

The custom-painted frame is a Trek Supercaliber, which is instantly recognizable thanks to its IsoStrut rear suspension design that offers 60mm of rear travel. Most of the best full-suspension mountain bikes on the World Cup circuit use 100mm of travel, but Trek's unique blend between a traditional full-suspension design and a hardtail is evidently enough for the top XC pros. 

The bike is complemented by parts from SRAM, RockShox, and Bontrager. Neff uses a SRAM XX1 Eagle drivetrain as well as a RockShox Reverb dropper post, both of which are controlled wirelessly by the AXS system. Upfront there's a RockShox SID Ultimate fork, which aids in tackling the toughest XC courses. 

Tacked to the front of the bike is an integrated handlebar and stem combo, which is likely the new Bontrager RSL MTB . Bontrager's lightweight Kovee wheelset rolls on the brand's XR1 Team Issue tires. 

Neff is considered one of the top contenders for this weekend's World Championship race, where she'll battle rivals like France's Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. After Thursday's short track race, the main event XCO race will take place on Saturday.

Achievements

Career defining moments.

Hi, it’s Jolanda! Would you like to know my story? Then come with me:

Born in Altstätten, St.Gallen, Switzerland on January 5th

First mountain bike race (and first win). Happy family times!

2000 - 2003

Racing the skills parcours at Swiss Bike Cups and lap races at regional races

2004 - 2009

6 years of xco racing at Swiss Bike Cups (winning the overall 5 times, accumulating 50 wins), many local races. Training group at home with the coolest kids group under the guidance of my parents

2010 - 2011

First international racing experience in the U19 (juniors) category. The 2010 European Championships in Haifa, Israel (my first trip in an airplane!) and World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada, were an unforgettable experience! We got to race Junior World Cups where I could win in Champéry, Switzerland, and Val di Sole, Italy.

In 2011, the European Championships took place in Dohnany, Slovakia (my first championships win!) and the World Championships in Champéry, Switzerland. I could collect three World Cup wins in Offenburg, Germany; Nove Mesto Na Morave, Czech Republic; and Val di Sole, Italy.

In summer 2011, I finished my school education with the “Matura” diploma at the Kantonsschule am Burggraben St.Gallen. My main subject was Latin.

I became U23 World Champion - in my first year! The 4-year-span of the category usually favors older, stronger riders, but I managed to win it all in my first year. Swiss Champion, European Champion in Moscow, Russia, as well as World Champion in Saalfelden, Austria. In the World Cup series, I won 3 rounds: Nove Mesto Na Morave, Czech Republic; Windham, USA (photo); and Val d’Isère, France. My dad was with me on all trips as my mechanic, training partner and coach. My mum was often with us too, keeping all things in check and making sure the show was running smoothly.

Leading up to the season 2012, I spent three months in New Zealand. It was my first year without school and I couldn’t wait to discover the world and travel! I even got to do some racing and met lots of fun people who love to ride bikes.

Stepping up to elite level at the world cup circuit was an opportunity I was longing for for years. I took it with both hands and finished 6th overall in the elite ranking. At the championships I raced in the U23 class. I could claim the gold medal and world champion title for the second year running in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (photo).

During the winter 2012-2013 I did the Swiss Sports Army, 18 weeks of education (formation, shooting, first aid, etc.) and training in Magglingen with courses in media training, mental training, nutrition, recovery, massage and an education for military sports teacher. It was an intense and entertaining time.

My second year aboard the Liv Racing Team meant all pieces fell into place. I could learn a lot from all my team mates: Maja (photo), Fabi, Michiel, Emil. As the youngest rider in the history of the sport, I won the Overall World Cup title in the elite ranks. In the U23 class, I won my third straight world champion title.

In 2014 Edi Telser became our national coach at the Swiss Cycling federation. It was the first time we had a women’s specific national coach and therefore a big step for us. Until today, Edi is working with me in this position.

For the second year in a row I could win the overall world cup! This title brought my total elite world cup win count up to 6. I still belonged to the U23 class in championships, but thanks to my 3 previous wins at world championships, the UCI gave me a very special permission to race in the Elite class, something they have never done before. I won the European Championships! In the elite class. At world championships in Andorra, I suffered from a bronchitis but still finished the race in 9th place.

I won the European Games in Baku, Aserbaidschan (photo). It was the first (and last) time we got to do this event. We had a great time with the Swiss team.

That year, I did some road racing and won the Swiss championships (what a race!) which earned me a spot on the national team for world championships. So once the MTB season was done, I flew to the United States where I raced the road world championships in Richmond, Virginia. I finished in the leading group in 9th place.

At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I brought home a 8th place in the road race and a 6th place in the mountainbike race.

I won two MTB World Cup rounds that year in La Bresse, France (photo; starting from 3rd row, had a crash, flat tyre and still won solo…) and Vallnord, Andorra, as well as the European Championships in Jöngköping, Sweden.

I’ve never done a marathon race before until that year in Riva del Garda, Italy, where I won, and then at the marathon world championships in Laissac, France, where I won the gold medal.

On the road, I won the general classification of the Tour of Poland and finished on 3rd place at the world tour race Trofeo Alfredo Binda in Cittiglio, Italy. It was a packed year filled with many wins at international XCO races as well.

World Champion! In Cairns, Australia, I won the rainbow stripes and the gold medal in the Elite XCO race. Two weeks before that, I already won the final round of the world cup series in Val di Sole, Italy.

My build up to this year was way different than anything before because after the Games in 2016 I started studying at the university in Zurich (history, English literature and French literature).

Racing a full year in the world champion stripes was fantastic. I made the most of it and won the overall world cup for the third time! The Kross Racing Team was home to me this year and therefore my friend Maja was by my side. It was a good year, once more including 3 world cup wins (Albstadt, Mont-Sainte-Anne, La Bresse… remember that one?)! At the European championships in Glasgow, Scotland, I won my third title. At world championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, I wasn’t at my best anymore after a knee injury and finished on 4th place. This year I decided to do some road racing again, which brought me another Swiss champion title and a participation at the road world championships in Innsbruck, Austria.

2nd place in the overall world cup, 2nd place at world championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada. 1st place at Swiss championships and 1st place at European championships in Brun, Czech Republic.

My first year aboard the Trek Factory Racing Team was a big change for me.

For the second year running I did some cyclocross racing during winter before the MTB season. I finished the world championships in Bogense, Denmark, on 5th place.

Swiss Champion for the 6th time after coming back from a life-threatening injury in December 2019. 6th place at World Championships in Leogang, Austria. It was a very short season due to Covid-19.

OLYMPIC CHAMPION! Trust the timing of your life.

All of this was only possible thanks to the amazing people who are with me every day and have been working with me for years, most of all my family, including my parents, sister and brother, my great friends, the Trek team and the Swiss Cycling federation. Thank you to every single one! Thanks to my amazing fans for all your support full of energy, your cheering, and your love for mountainbiking. Let’s gooooo!

“Trust the timing of your life.”

Marathon (XCM) 3rd place at World Championships Haderslev, Denmark

2022 in words

Wild and wonderful - two words to describe my 22 racing season. My year was marked by a return to the top of the podium at the World Cup in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada, as well as my first “perfect weekend” with a win in both XCC and XCO. I was the best Swiss rider at World Champs and European Champs, not just an easy achievement with three Olympic medallists in our team. My silver medal at worlds was furthermore a great personal achievement where I raced my best race of the year in the moment where it mattered most. I felt great on that day and was so stoked with my race. Wonderful!

Nonetheless, it was not just smooth sailing. Covid infections and other viruses took me out for multiple weeks when race season was in full swing. Missing weeks and weeks of training is a hard thing to come back from during any time of the year, but especially in between world cups where there is not a lot of time left to train with all the racing and traveling going on already. I am incredibly happy how I managed it and that I kept showing up at the races even though it would have been easy to take a step back. I travelled to every world cup and every championship. I finished in the top 10 at every single xco race. Wild!

“Where your focus goes, energy flows.”

I have almost forgotten all about 2023 because it was a big struggle with some health issues that nobody could resolve for a very long time. Only in

and to be exact, only at the beginning of June, less than two months before the Olympic Games, we found out that my vocal cords stick together when I am breathing. This is not ideal because the air doesn’t arrive in the lungs. Luckily, my lungs and my body are perfectly healthy which makes me very happy. It’s all about learning a new breathing patter now. Even though I qualified and was selected for the Olympic Games in Paris, I decided to give my starting place to another rider from the Swiss team. I am now fully focused on my recovery and being a healthy happy rider again.

Thank you very much to Cornèrcard, Tissot, Roland, Mercedes-Benz Vans, FocusWater, Trek Bikes, Crans-Montana, Valais 2025, Swiss Cycling, my awesome family, my great friends, and all my loyal fans for your wonderful support.

Trek riders are storming Andorra for MTB World Championships!

Read our MTB World Championships preview for everything you need before racing begins!

After nearly two months since their last World Cup, the Trek Factory Racing-Pirelli XC and TFR Downhill squads are finally back for the biggest race of the season. MTB World Championships will take place on familiar terrain, up and down the rocky slopes of the Pal Arinsal resort in Andorra. The riders are rested and champing at the bit to show off the work they’ve been doing during the long midseason break. 

Who needs any more preamble? Let’s dive in.

Gwendalyn Gibson hopes to be back at full strength after recovering from a broken collarbone.

TFR XC is healthy and ready to keep the good vibes going

The TFR XC squad was well below full strength when we last saw them. In Les Gets, they were missing Jolanda Neff, who has struggled with breathing issues this season, and Riley Amos, who was preparing to take on his first ever Olympics. Of the riders who did participate, Gwendalyn Gibson was still working her way back to full strength from a broken collarbone, and Evie Richards was just approaching full speed after recovering from a concussion.

Safe to say, the team needed a break. 

The gang will be nearly all back for Andorra (Anton Cooper is still battling a parasitic infection that has hampered his season ). Amos and Richards will have big ambitions after strong performances at the Paris Olympics. Amos took seventh for the best ever finish by an American in the men’s race, and Richards took fifth to reestablish herself as one of the strongest women in the world.

Riley Amos is coming off an excellent Olympic debut in Paris.

Isabella Holmgren is undefeated in XCO racing this year.

Amos is undefeated in all of his U23 XCO starts this season, and he will be the favorite to win the men’s U23 world title. One of the best bets to kick him off the throne? Trek Future Racing’s Bjorn Riley, who took the men’s U23 XCO win in Les Gets, and is having a brilliant season in his own right, winning the U.S. men’s U23 national title in July. 

Neff is back in action, too. She took fifth at the first World Cup XCO of the season in Mairiporã, Brazil, and she’ll be looking to return to form after passing up an Olympic bid to focus on her recovery. 

TFR XC’s two American women, Gibson and U23 rider Madigan Munro, will be two of the biggest wild cards in the XC field. Gibson has been dealt misfortune all season. She’s overdue for good luck, and if stars align, she can be a podium contender.

Madigan Munro has her eye on a breakthrough result.

All eyes on Evie Richards, who won the XCO World Championship in 2021.

Munro won her third straight U23 national title in July, and has come oh-so-close to a first career World Cup win several times this season. On her best day, she can win the rainbow stripes. That’s if Lidl-Trek rider Isabella Holmgren doesn’t run away with it. The young Canadian has been making spot appearances in the women’s U23 XC field and cleaning up, with three XCO wins in three tries. 

The course in Andorra is varied and mean. It features three big, wide open climbs where attacks should happen, all part of roughly 160 meters of elevation gain per lap. They are broken up by tech-y wooded sections, featuring lots of roots, switchbacks, and two rock gardens — one natural, one man-made. The lap ends with a pumptrack and a fast sprint into the finish line. In short: We’re all set for fireworks.

The Trek Factory Racing DH squad is kitted up and ready to rock.

TFR DH can make a statement

Trek’s downhill riders have had a rollercoaster season. 

Loris Vergier and Sacha Earnest entered World Cup racing with some of the biggest ambitions of any riders in the world. Vergier has been one of the sport’s absolute fastest men for the last five years, chasing the top of every podium. Earnest is one of the stars of a speedy class of junior women. Both riders have racked up World Cup wins before, but haven’t yet found that level this year. This weekend they’ll have as good a chance as anyone, especially Vergier, who won the World Cup round in Andorra in 2022, and took second in qualifying last year before bad weather negated any chance of a strong finals run. 

Bodhi Kuhn and Reece Wilson will be two of the most fascinating riders to watch. Kuhn is having a strong Year 1 racing elites, currently sitting 21st overall in the World Cup standings after having qualified for every finals run on offer . Wilson, the 2020 World Champion in Leogang, hasn’t yet found his footing after battling injuries for two seasons. A dislocated shoulder in Val di Sole didn’t help. But if there’s someone who can engineer an epic comeback story, it’s him.

Sacha Earnest will receive her World Championship chance this Thursday.

Hattie Harnden is busting out the Session before a blistering home stretch to her enduro season.

Speaking of wild cards, there may not be a more intriguing rider than Lachie Stevens-McNab. The young Union rider is having a breakout season, taking third in Leogang for his first ever World Cup podium in his first ever elite World Cup season. He might have had a win, too, if not for a silly mistake in Poland after he posted the fastest first three splits of any rider during finals. His time has arrived . 

Last, but certainly not least, Hattie Harnden will be in Andorra as well, going for the women’s elite DH podium to kick off a thrilling home stretch run to the end of her season. She’s currently locked in a tight battle for the top of the Enduro World Cup overall podium with just one race left next weekend, swiftly followed by Enduro World Championships in Val di Fassa. 

The Andorra DH track is a classic. It’s still rough and steep, with 458 meters of elevation drop across 1.9 kilometers. The biggest X factor, as always, may be the conditions. Let’s take a look at the forecast …

Reece Wilson is never not having a blast.

The weather

… not bad. Downright promising if you’re a DH rider, especially after last year’s hairy conditions . XCO racing could see slippery conditions, with the chance of rain increasing once the afternoon hits. 

As always, predicting the weather at high altitude is a sucker’s game. Be sure to keep an eye on the conditions as they can always evolve quickly.

The XC course in Andorra.
