SHIFT THE GAME

The World Cup took us to Leogang this weekend one of those venues where mountain biking is lived with intensity. There, the Orbea Fox Factory Team once again showed that it’s building something solid: a team with identity, commitment, and a connection that goes beyond the stopwatch.

It was a weekend full of challenges, yes, but also one of cohesion. Bec gave a lesson in strength, facing tough days right from the start. Jenn kept pushing forward, as always, with her eyes set on what’s coming. Simon came back with confidence and a competitive attitude, while Pierre maintained the consistency we value so much. Beyond the numbers, what stood out was the team spirit the ability to support each other, to keep growing, and to find motivation even in the most demanding moments.

And when we talk about trust, we have to mention Shimano. What connects us isn’t just technical: it’s a strategic partnership built over years of working together. And the XTR Di2 is the perfect reflection of that connection.

Preseason testing sessions, millimetric adjustments in the paddock, constant conversations between riders and the mechanical and technical crew. Shimano isn’t just a supplier: it’s part of our evolution, our process, our way of racing.

A simple sentence, but it says it all. In a sport where every second counts, trusting your bike isn’t a luxury it’s a necessity.

Because when you combine the talent of a team with a strong human group and a product you fully trust, you’re one step closer to something big. It may not come today. But it will.
