Cross-Country MTB X Dictionary
You can find the differences between the race formats in cross-country mountain biking here!
Here you'll find the basics you need to differentiate between XCC, XCO, and the like. In short, you can divide mountain biking into different categories; the most well-known race formats are downhill and cross-country. You've probably heard both terms before!
Can you differentiate between the different competition formats?
XCO - Cross Country Olympics
Cross Country Olympics are individual races on a circuit with a mass start. Each race lasts approximately 90 minutes. The winner is the rider who reaches the finish line first.
If you want a good starting position in XCO races, you have to really push yourself in XCC races, because the starting order is crucial! You don't want to start behind someone slower and lose valuable time if you're stuck in the bottleneck and can't overtake.
Facts: Riders must use the same bikes for XCC and XCO.
XCC - Cross Country Short Track
XCC is a sprint race, comparable to XCO. As the name suggests, sprint races have a shorter distance and duration, but the race also begins with a mass start. XCC races are often held to determine the starting order for the subsequent XCO race.
Facts: XCC is a relatively new discipline in mountain biking.
XCE - Cross Country Eliminator
XCE is an elimination race. The course is between 500 and 1000 meters long. Participants start in groups of four. Only the first two from each group advance to the next round. This reduces the number of participants after each round. The races are often held on street circuits and are expected to include natural or artificial obstacles.
Facts: The entire course must be 100% passable.
XCM - Cross Country Marathon
Here, too, all participants start at the same time. A cross-country marathon is a long distance between 60 and 160 km.
XCMs can be run as a team or as solo events. Cross-country marathons are typically one-day events, but there are also stage races lasting several days.
Facts: In XCMs, amateur cyclists compete alongside the professionals, similar to a regular marathon.
MTB basics
XC/Cross Country - this is more about climbing climbs; descents are secondary.
Downhill - riding purely focused on downhill sections.
Enduro - a balanced mix of uphill and downhill sections.
Bottleneck - single-track sections where riders have no opportunity to overtake and traffic can build up.
Singletrail/Singletrack - a natural path for mountain bikes, usually not much wider than a bicycle.
The Mountain Bike World Series is the highest UCI-sanctioned international racing level for XCO, XCC, and XCM. This is where the elite meet.
The riders of the Mountainbike Racing Team are represented in these formats:
Simon Gegenheimer
Simon was world champion in 2021 and vice world champion in Cross-Country Eliminator in 2022. In addition to XCE, he also takes part in formats such as XCO and Mountain Bike Marathons.
Marion Fromberger
Marion Fromberger has already won several World Cup races in the Cross Country Eliminator. Overall, her focus is more on the short distances and she has already achieved several podium finishes in these formats.
Titouan Perrin-Ganier
Titouan is the reigning world champion in Cross-Country Eliminator. Before switching to shorter distances, he already competed in Olympic Cross-Country.
Steffen Thum
Steffen is a two-time overall World Cup winner in the Mountain Bike Marathon. He also competes in World Cups in Olympic Cross Country, Sprint, and major stage races.
