Six national titles in the bag, but this is his first one in the elite category. Rok Naglič delivered another masterclass performance at the Slovenian XCO National Championships on the demanding MTB Trail Center course in Kočevje. And he did it with the confidence of a rider who knows exactly what he needs, including the right saddle: the Artax by Repente.
The race heated up by the second lap, with a lead group of five riders pushing the pace. But Naglič, riding for the Calcit Bike Team, had a plan. He waited, then launched a perfectly timed attack. A sharp, decisive acceleration, and no one could follow. A clear victory, earned with brains as much as with power.
The Artax, Repente’s lightweight, ergonomic, and versatile saddle, has been his ally since the beginning of the 2025 season. Trusted by top athletes both on the road and off, it’s designed for those who demand performance, comfort, and control at every stage of the race.
Behind Rok, young Matic Kranjec Žagar held strong to claim second, but on this day in Slovenia, the top step of the podium had only one name on it. Rok, and Repente.
