Speaking of the bike, like most of the cyclo-cross field, Compton uses a hydraulic disc brake setup but has eschewed the 1X trend. Dutch designer Hans van der Maarel helped to create the graphics for the frame. Compton is probably the only rider with a Porsche as a team car, one painted to match her frame. The design, with its red accent representing the road to the summit, was inspired by the Mulholland Porsche 911 from the custom Porsche design shop Singer.
Compton first rode the design before losing her title to Clara Honsinger in the 2019-2020 season. ‘America’s Mountain’, Legg says, is one “we see every day, and I thought it would be the ideal inspiration for America’s cyclo-cross champion”. The lighter blue lines represent the elevation of Pikes Peak in topographic format. The paint job of the carbon fibre Trek Boone frame is the most eye-catching aspect at first glance.
