Luke is around 1,75m tall and rides a size large Top Fuel which has a reach of 480mm, when in the low setting.
It’s always interesting to see how an XC World Cup campaigner performs at a provincial Enduro race. When it’s a rider of Luke Moir’s pedigree, the interest peaks. Riding a 120mm Trek Top Fuel, he put in some fine times and actually nearly won the final stage. But for a little bad luck and a flat on the rocky Iron Monkey stage, he would likely have placed inside the top 5 Elite Men on the day. Impressive stuff. Here’s a closer look at how Luke sets his bike up.
Someone had fun out there!
Bontrager carbon bars are 780mm wide with a 27,5mm rise and Luke hasn’t felt the need to trim them.The entire cockpit is stock with no aftermarket parts fitted. For more Enduro racing – especially on steep tracks – he would probably fit a higher rise bar.Luke changed his stack height to better cope with the steep sections. There are 30mm of spacers under the stem.A short 45mm Bontrager stem, keeps the bike calm when at pace.RockShox SID 120mm forkThe RockShox Deluxe Ultimate rear shock has three on-the-fly compression settings and Luke choses the middle option. He says he hardly uses the lockout.“I didn’t need to change much for the Enduro as this thing is literally an all-rounder bike.” – LukeLuke carried two CO2 cannisters, plugs and tools inside his downtube storage for the big day out.That’s a full Shimano XT drivetrain with 170mm cranks.Bontrager XC pedals.21psi in the Bontrager XR4 front tyre which, in hindsight, was a little low for the speed Luke was riding on the technical stages. He said, for the next Enduro, he will put a Bontrager SE5 tyre on the front for a little more corner grip.He chose the Bontrager SE5 tyre on the back as it has a little more volume, good braking characteristics and a tougher casing to handle the blows. 23psi is his magic number here and he doesn’t use inserts but is thinking about it.Shimano XT with a 180mm front and 160mm rear rotor.Bontrager Arvada saddle, in 138mm width sits above a 170mm dropper post.
All the best for your 2023 XC World Cup season mate!
