CROSS COUNTRY Steve Larsen designed the Oriflamme specifically for hard terrain NORBA NCS cross country and short track courses. Diamond knurled center pattern provides effortless acceleration to speed and the Oriflamme? low, slightly arced semi-knobs perform to give braking and acceleration. Square-shaped side lugs carve corners and are still low enough to not fold on hardpack or rocks. Our racing development program brought the Oriflamme to the public in 2001.
