The 7 best vintage Cross-Country Mountain Bikes of the 90s

In 1990 the inaugural Word Championships were held in Durango and won by Ned Overend. In this article I’m going to provide you with an overview of all winning cross-country mountain bikes, because we all know that what you ride is more important than how you ride it.

I looked up who the winners were for the men’s cross-country event for the UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships starting with 1990 and ending with 1999.

Here they are.

The only thing not featured in this image is the RockShox 1 or RS-1 front suspension.

Julie Furtado – 1990 Yeti FRO
