H2O Audio ambassador from Fenix- Deceuninck and cyclocross phenom Puck Pieterse once again demonstrated her unstoppable dominance, sweeping the Leogang XC World Cup mountain bike event this past weekend. Known for her fierce racing across disciplines from cyclocross to road and mountain biking, Puck topped both days of racing at Leogang, solidifying her reputation as the rider to beat.
š¶ Powered by RIPT Ultra: PreāRace Rituals
Behind every victory is a routine and Puckās includes one non-negotiable essential:Ā H2O Audio RIPT Ultra headphones. Completely sweatproof and noiseāisolating, these earbuds have become her partner in focus, used during warm-ups and cooldowns alike:
-
Warm-up prep: As she eases into the starting grid with pre-race drills, RIPT Ultra delivers her curated playlist helping sharpen her mind and dial into race-readiness.
-
Cooldown reset: After the adrenaline of racing and in her case winning! When her heart rate is through the roof, Puck straps back in to aid post-race recovery, absorbing tunes that cool the mind while the body recovers.
š„ Beyond the Win: Why This Matters
