No hydraulic road levers, at least not yet. Just regular cable-pull levers matched to Avid BB7 RSL calipers. We first saw Johnson on a disc-equipped SuperX at Boulder Cup in 2011. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com

Johnson chose to ride with a water bottle for the hot evening race in Vegas. The course has no sections where shouldering the bike is required, so the bottle didn't get in the way. Other riders took quick drinks from their mechanics as they rushed through the pits. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
