Everything runs on ceramic bearings by Kogel – the bottom bracket as well as the wheels. For this race I will go with some Hutchinson Touareg 40mm tubeless tires. To light up the night I swear on Supernova Lights. Without luggage my bike has less than 7kg – it helps me to love climbing a lot 😊

Key items of kit: I use a minimalistic and also super lightweight Apidura Racing Series kit for my luggage with clothes by Velocio in the saddle bag, food and spare parts in the Top-Tube- and Framepack. My focus is on the lowest possible weight, good durability and, above all, reliability. All components, from the Kogel ceramic bearing to the Hutchinson tires, have been tested for many thousands of kilometres and will for sure serve me well in the Andes.

Bike: Voy con la marca española Mendiz, en su modelo de mtb la X21, la que tiene transmisión 1x12 con un piñón 11-50 y la corona de 32 fue reemplazada por una 38. Muy rica su geometría y sumado a la suspensión, me atrevo a montar los siguientes neumaticos: adelante Flinntrige pro 700x35c gct 120TPI y atrás Booster Pro 700x37c GCT/RHP 120TPI, ambos de la marca Taiwanesa KENDA.

La mantención paso todo por un amigo de DH, que tiene su taller en Panguipulli, el Nacho Celis aplico todo su talento para dejar la nave a tope.

Key items of kit: Los elementos clave pasan por el equipo solicitado y alimentarse de manera inteligente.
