A few weeks back at the opening round of the SA XCO Cup we took a closer look at Luke Moir’s new Supercaliber. It’s a Project One build, meaning it’s assembled in the USA with parts and paintwork chosen specifically by Luke. This is the bike Luke will campaign locally and internationally on for the bulk of the 2023 XC season.

Luke is 1,75m tall and rides a size large Trek Supercaliber.
