Late last year, Rourke Croeser and Travis Walker signed up to ride for the Full-Dynamix factory team. Full-Dynamix didn’t budget for the lads doing the Cape Epic, so they had to look to USN to help them compete. We chatted to Rourke and Travis during the Epic and got a look at Rourke’s Full-Dynamix Higher bike.
Full-Dynamix is the mountain bike division of Italian bike maker Battaglin Cicli. The Higher is the company’s professional level bike for marathon and XC racing.

Rourke favours the trusty SRAM XX1 drivetrain (with a spiderless crank) and a RockShox can to control the tail. Look’s S-Track pedal was a popular choice amongst 2015 Epic pros.
The wheelset takes us back to Italy with a stunning pair of Alchemist wheels and hubs.
The cockpit features a FSA bar with XX brake levers, Marzocchi lockout, XX1 shifter, and a Powertap Joule GPS mounted on a negative angled stem.
