We’re stoked to finally unveil a new era of collaboration between ourselves and Santa Cruz, under the watchful eye of Goodman. Keeping something this exciting under wraps hasn’t been easy, but the launch of our own Factory Team marks a major step forward for our brand.
This move represents a significant boost to our R&D program. Allowing engineers and athletes to work closer than ever before at the highest level of competition. By accelerating product development, we’re ensuring our customers continue to benefit from World Cup-proven technology, straight from the fastest riders in the world. Preparations are well underway, and we’re beyond hyped to get things started in South Korea as this new chapter officially begins.
Words from Thibault Laly, Team Manager
“We’re incredibly excited to sign with Burgtec and to ride with some of the best components on the market. Their support allows our team to grow rapidly, both in structure and in ambition. We’re ready to work closely with the brand on research and development to create even better products in the future, and we’re proud to represent such an iconic brand at the highest level of the sport. We have big ambitions and exciting goals heading into the 2026 season.
The changes this year are quite straightforward. We’re welcoming a new title sponsor, which allows us to compete and evolve at the highest level of the sport.
Our goal is to take part in the full World Cup calendar, along with several European Cups and selected national races. On top of that, we’ll also be present at Red Bull Hardline events and other major competitions.
We’re also making a big step forward in terms of structure. For greater comfort and a more professional image, we’ve taken over the race structure that previously belonged to the Santa Cruz Syndicate. We’ll be rebranding it in our own colours. This upgrade will give us better working conditions and help us perform more consistently, especially during the European race block.
When it comes to sponsors, aside from Burgtec joining the program, everything else remains unchanged. We’re incredibly lucky to be supported by high-quality partners who continue to back us in the best possible way”.
