Sina Frei is one of the most consistent and successful cross-country mountain bikers of her generation.
A former U23 UCI World Champion, Frei transitioned seamlessly to the elite level, where she has become a regular podium contender in UCI World Cups and global championships. She earned a silver medal in XCO at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and played a key role in securing gold for Switzerland in the team relay at the World Championships. Known for her small stature but incredible power-to-weight ratio, Frei excels on technical and climbing-heavy courses. As a vital member of the Specialized Factory XC team, she also competes in XCC races with notable success. Frei’s tactical intelligence and endurance have made her a respected role model in the sport.
