Ryan's LAB71 SuperX

Ryan's LAB71 SuperX

Rider Background

Ryan has always had a knack for finding the roughest, muddiest, most unforgiving cyclocross courses - and loving every second of it. A longtime road racer turned gravel adventurer, he transitioned to cyclocross for the thrill and technical challenge. After riding alloy frames for years, Ryan decided it was time to treat himself to something seriously elite: the LAB71 SuperX. Lightweight, aggressive, and refined - just like his riding style.

About the Build

Ryan’s SuperX LAB71 is built for brutal efficiency without sacrificing finesse. The goal was a no-compromise race rig that could handle technical descents, tight barriers, and sludgy run-ups with ease. Every component was hand-picked for reliability and weight savings, with subtle upgrades to stand up to race-day abuse. From the featherweight carbon frame to the bombproof wheels, it’s a build that turns heads on and off the course.
