Orbea FOX Factory Team 2026: the strength of a project that keeps growing
A new season gets underway for the Orbea FOX Factory Team, grounded in the belief that true performance is built on continuity, experience and a clear long-term vision.
After a season of mixed sensations, strong results, valuable lessons and moments that invited reflection—the team keeps its structure intact and approaches the new year with renewed ambition, supported by a solid foundation and a deeper understanding of the competitive landscape.
The Cross Country World Cup is once again the big stage. A demanding, global calendar with no concessions, where every race tests not only the rider group but the entire project. The Orbea FOX Factory Team will compete in every round with a clear objective: to perform at the highest level while continuing to build for the future.
Four paths, one shared ambition
Team continuity is one of the project’s greatest strengths. The same people on the bike, the same staff, and a trust built season after season.
Four distinct profiles, sharing the same way of understanding competition: work, commitment and ambition.
Explosive and ambitious, Simon Andreassen represents modern XC at its purest expression, raising the team’s competitive level.
Rebecca Henderson brings experience and a deep understanding of the World Cup. A benchmark for consistency at the highest level.
Solidity and precision define Pierre de Froidmont. A reliable rider, capable of delivering on the most demanding courses on the calendar.
Jennifer Jackson completes the line-up with steady progression and a mindset aligned with the project’s long-term vision.

Investing in the Future
This season, the project is further strengthened by a new development structure through the Saltoki Team.
At a time when many teams are disappearing, Orbea chooses to keep investing in the future. An ecosystem that enables testing, learning and evolution in parallel with the Factory Team, consolidating a long-term vision that connects development and elite performance.
Because competing at the highest level is not only about lining up at every World Cup start, but about building, race by race, a solid, honest project ready for the future.
