Dominion T2: The World Cup Standard for Modulation and Power
From the dusty fireroads of Andorra to its steep, punchy forest climbs and high-speed technical descents, the race demanded flawless control. Hayes Dominion T2 brakes were up to the challenge.
  • Perfect Modulation: Riders like Casey South and Gioele De Cosmo relied on the T2’s consistent lever feel and refined bite point to brake later, descend harder, and maintain momentum on unpredictable surfaces.
  • Ultra-Lightweight Build: With every gram counting in a high-altitude marathon, Dominion T2 kept weight low while maintaining the power needed for long descents and tight finishes.
  • Fade-Free Braking: From start gate to final sprint, the T2s delivered consistent performance in all temperatures and elevations—zero fade, all feel.


  • Four in the Top 10: Precision That Pays Off
    Casey South made a remarkable return to racing after a broken collarbone, finishing just off the podium in 4th place, showcasing the kind of composure and control Dominion T2 was built for. He was joined in the Top 10 by:
  • Gioele De Cosmo, who powered to 5th place and now sits 3rd overall in the series standings.
  • Fabian Rabensteiner, the reigning Italian champion, who closed the Top 10 with trademark resilience and race-craft.
  • Katazina Sosna, wearing the Lithuanian Marathon Champion jersey, who finished 6th in the women’s race—her best World Cup finish to date.
