​The cross country riders of New Zealand have raised their hand to ask for more XCO mountain bike events.

We heard your vote and the XCO REPUBLIC was formed. We are a  collective of like minded mountain bike people that have come together to form a world class XCO race for cross country riders in New Zealand.

WHAT IS XCO RACING?

 XCO, is short for Cross-country Olympics, the race is held on undulating circuits including; single track climbs and descents, which riders must complete several laps. Riders start at the same time, racing between one hour and an hour and 40 minutes, depending on category and course. The course has to be between 4-6 km long and the amount of laps each category of riders do is set to match the overall race time.
