Denise Betsema has been a fixture at the top of world cyclocross for years. The De Ceuster – Bouwpunt rider is known as a sand specialist. As an islander (from Texel), she knows better than anyone how to put power down on heavy surfaces.

Her trademark is the explosive start; from the whistle, she puts immense torque through the pedals. These peak forces require a drivetrain that is extremely stiff and durable. Moreover, sand is the enemy of bike parts. Denise relies on the hardness of The Mechanic Parts chainrings to resist wear and convert every watt into speed, allowing her to make the race hard from start to finish.
