In the Albstadt Mountain World Cup, its track design has become the classic route of the World Cup. There are very difficult uphill sections and less technical downhill sections, making it the last widely used track for hardtail mountain bikes. But now that’s changing too. Here are 10 models on the podium, with only 2 hardtails in the women’s and men’s elite categories, and a wide spread of brands.
