Marcelo Gutierrez walked us through his 2016 World Cup DH bike at the Giant Bicycles headquarters. The 5-time Colombian DH champ is ready to battle it out at the first World Cup in Lourdes which starts in just a few days. Marcelo is a quiet rider who often sneaks under the radar, but he had two podium results during the 2015 World Cup. His bike is ready for 2016 and so is his frame of mind. Keep an eye on this destroyer.
