Mathieu van der Poel's custom painted Stevens Super Prestige - Gallery

Former world champion and current World Cup leader Mathieu van der Poel added the European Championships title to his ever-growing palmares earlier in November, and German brand Stevens has created a custom-painted frameset to celebrate the victory.

In a base grey colour, contrasting blue and yellow details stand out on the frame, which also features gold detailing throughout the design.

The 2017/2018 cyclocross season is the first to feature the flagship Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 series groupset for racing. Van der Poel opted for 46/39 chainrings and an 11-28 cassette for the muddy World Cup meeting in Zeven, Germany on Saturday.

Alongside the R9170 electronic groupset with hydraulic disc brakes are matching Dura-Ace C40 carbon tubular wheels that are paired with A. Dugast Rhino tubular tyres.

Disc brakes are now fully implemented in cyclocross, with only one of the sixty-one starters at the men’s elite Zeven World Cup opting for cantilever brakes.

The finishing kit is provided by Shimano’s sister brand PRO, and Italian brand Selle Italia offer the contact points.
