The UCI WorldTour is the Union Cycliste Internationale’s (UCI) top-tier professional men’s road cycling circuit, which includes all of the Grand Tours and Classics, and here are the bikes you can expect to see raced this year. We’ve put together this guide to show who’s riding what, including the framesets, groupsets, wheels, and other choices you’ll see in the peloton.
There are 18 WorldTeams in the men’s WorldTour (although teams from the second tier, UCI ProTeams, are invited to compete in WorldTour races). Arkéa–B&B Hotels and Cofidis have gone, while Uno-X Mobility and NSN Cycling have arrived, and Intermarché-Wanty has merged with Lotto to form Lotto-Intermarché. As usual, there are various other name changes relating to sponsorship. It’s all go.
Sixteen bike brands are represented in the WorldTour this year – Canyon and Specialized having two teams each.
Of the 18 teams, 10 use Shimano groupsets and eight are riding with SRAM Red AXS. That’s a big increase for SRAM – double last year’s total. No WorldTeam is using Campagnolo groupsets this season, which is sad news for many fans. Mind you, Campagnolo wasn’t represented in 2024 but came back with Cofidis last year, so who knows what the future holds?
Without further ado, let’s have a look at the bikes. Here are all the men’s WorldTeams and their rides, listed in alphabetical order…
Alpecin–Premier Tech

Alpecin–Premier Tech (formerly Alpecin-Deceuninck) use Canyon framesets equipped with Shimano components. Riders can choose between the aero-optimised Aeroad CFR, the lightweight Ultimate CFR, and the Speedmax TT for time trials.
The bikes are fitted with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets and wheels, rolling on Pirelli tyres and finished with Selle Italia saddles.
Bahrain Victorious

After nine years, Merida has parted ways with Team Bahrain Victorious, replaced by Italy’s Bianchi.
Bahrain Victorious riders – whose roster includes French climbing specialist Lenny Martinez and Classics hunter Matej Mohorič – have access to Bianchi’s full Reparto Corse (the brand’s high-performance racing and innovation division) range: the Oltre aero road bike, Specialissima lightweight all-rounder, Aquila TT bike; and Impulso gravel race bike.
The designers have worked hard to incorporate some Bianchi Celeste on the fork and stays.
Component suppliers are similar to previously: the groupsets are Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, the wheels are Vision with Continental tyres, and saddles come from Prologo.
Decathlon–CMA CGM

Decathlon has succeeded AG2R La Mondiale to become the sole owner of this team, with French shipping and logistics company CMA CGM coming in as a title sponsor.
The team still use Van Rysel bikes, of course – Van Rysel being a Decathlon-owned brand. Riders have access to Van Rysel’s RCR-R and RCR-F road bikes, with the RCR-F being the brand’s aero road model, as well as the RCR-X for time trials. The riders also wear Van Rysel clothing and use Van Rysel accessories.

The team switches from Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets to SRAM Red AXS for the 2026 season. Riders still use SwissSide Hadron2 and Hadron3 wheels, Continental tyres, Fizik saddles, and Look Kéo Blade pedals.
EF Education–EasyPost

There are strong rumours that EF Education-EasyPost riders will be on a new version of Cannondale’s SuperSix Evo Lab71 in 2026, with what appeared to be an unreleased fifth-generation model leaked on online forums towards the end of last year. Keep your eyes peeled for that one in early-season races.

The US-based team is certainly swapping from Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets to SRAM Red AXS, although bikes will still be equipped with Vision wheels from FSA, Vittoria tyres and Fizik saddles.
Groupama–FDJ United

Groupama-FDJ riders will spend most of their time on the new Wilier Filante SLR ID2 aero road bike (pictured) in an also new Firelight Red finish with a few touches of Admiral Blue. You’re not going to miss this one.
The team also has the choice of the Verticale SLR climbing bike, and the Supersonica SLR bike for time trials.

The bikes are equipped with Shimano groupsets and Miche Kleos wheels (Wilier now owns the Miche brand) paired with Continental tyres and Prologo saddles.
The wheel options include lightweight RD 36 wheels for climbing, high-profile RD 62 wheels for aerodynamics, and RD 50 wheels for all-around performance.
Ineos Grenadiers

The team has been with Pinarello – and with component brand Shimano – since it began (as Team Sky) in 2010, but Scope Cycling comes on as the official wheel supplier in 2026.

Ineos Grenadiers has famously used wheels from the likes of Lightweight and Princeton, even though Shimano was the principal supplier in the past – chasing those famous marginal gains – so it’ll be interesting to see if that continues now that Scope Cycling is on board.

The tyres are Continental and the finishing kit is from Pinarello’s MOST brand, while the team uses Prologo saddles and Garmin bike computers.
Lidl–Trek

In the Lidl–Trek camp, the Trek Madone SLR 9 is the weapon of choice – a lightweight, aerodynamic bike that we first saw in June 2024. Trek had previously gone with a two-pronged strategy at the top of its road range – the lightweight Emonda and the more aero Madone – before merging the streams with the Gen 8 Madone. For time trials, riders use the Trek Speed Concept.
SRAM provides the groupsets, the tyres are from Pirelli, and Trek’s Bontrager brand supplies most other components, including the Aeolus wheels.
Lotto–Intermarché

Belgian teams Lotto and Intermarché-Wanty have merged to become Lotto-Intermarché for 2026.
The bikes come from Orbea, the Basque brand that previously supplied Lotto – the lightweight Orca OMX and the Orca Aero, which is designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, as the name suggests.

Orbea’s Oquo brand provides the wheels. The team uses the Orca fitted with Oquo’s RP35LTD wheels for climbing stages, while the Orca Aero, equipped with RA57LTD wheels, is for flatter, faster terrain.
Lotto-Intermarché is yet another team that runs Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets.
Movistar Team

Canyon provides the bikes for Movistar, with riders having the choice of the Aeroad CFR or the lightweight Ultimate CFR for road stages, along with the Speedmax TT bike.
Equipment is mainly a SRAM-owned affair, with the team using Red AXS groupsets and Zipp 303/404 Firecrest wheels. Finishing off their bikes are Continental tyres, Fizik saddles and Garmin bike computers.
NSN Cycling Team

It’s all change here as the team formerly known as Israel Premier Tech rebrands to NSN Cycling Team, with a new bike sponsor following Factor withdrawing sponsorship.
Scott now provides the bikes with riders having access to the Foil RC Ultimate, lightweight Addict RC Ultimate, and Plasma RC Ultimate TT bike.

The bikes are equipped with SRAM groupsets and Zipp wheels paired with Continental tyres. Selle Italia saddles and Garmin bike computers complete the setup.

Specialized is the bike sponsor for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, a partnership that has been in place since 2017, supplying everything from the Tarmac SL8 for the road to the Shiv TT for time trials, along with Roval Rapide wheels and Specialized tyres.
Remco Evenepoel’s bike gets special gold features (pictured above and below), while the rest of the team race on the standard colourway. Riders also wear Specialized shoes and helmets.

Soudal Quick-Step

Soudal-Quickstep also race on trusty Specialized bikes, and like Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, they are riding the Tarmac SL8.
The team are using Specialized saddles, tyres and finishing kit, and Roval Rapide CLX Sprint and CLX III wheels. Groupsets are from Shimano, and the riders use Garmin bike computers.
Team Jayco–AlUla

Team Jayco AlUIa bikes are an all-Giant affair, with riders using the Giant Propel Advanced SL and Trinity TT bikes.
Wheels and saddles are from Giant’s Cadex brand, the tyres are Vittoria, and Shimano is the main equipment partner supplying Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets.
Australian brand MAAP partnered with its fellow Ausssie team last season, and continue to provide kit for the team in a striking purple colourway.
Team Picnic–PostNL

Team Picnic PostNL switched from Scott bikes last season – a partnership that began in 2021 – to Lapierre bikes, signing a four-year partnership. The team uses the Xelius DRS model for road races and the Aerostorm DRS TT bike for time trials.
The bikes are equipped with Shimano groupsets, paired with wheels from the Italian brand Ursus, and Vittoria tyres. Prologo saddles complete the set-up, while the riders use Wahoo bike computers.
Team Visma–Lease a Bike

Cervélo is the bike supplier for Visma–Lease a Bike, maintaining the iconic black and yellow colours. Riders can choose between the R5 climbing bike, S5 aero bike, or the P5 for time trials.
The team runs SRAM groupsets paired with Reserve wheels and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres.
UAE Team Emirates XRG

UAE Team Emirates-XRG riders can choose between the aero-focused Colnago Y1Rs and the all-rounder V5Rs, though most riders have primarily been seen opting for the latter.
Tadej Pogačar’s bike, pictured above, features the world champion’s stripes, while other team members ride black and white bikes with red accents.
Riders use Enve’s flagship SES 4.5 Pro wheels wrapped in Continental tyres. The bikes are equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets and Fizik saddles, with handlebars and stems also supplied by Enve.
Uno-X Mobility
Uno-X Mobility has stepped up to the WorldTour this season and signed a 10-year deal with Ridley last year. The Noah Fast serves as the team’s fully-fledged aero bike, complemented by the Falcon RS for mountain stages and the Dean Fast for time trials.
There’s also an updated colour scheme for the bikes this year, switching the gold for red.
The groupsets are SRAM this year, the wheels are DT Swiss, the tyres are Continental and the saddles are Prologo.
XDS Astana Team

Chinese brand XDS Carbon-Tech equips the XDS-Astana team with the X-Lab AD9 aero road bike and the lightweight XDS RS9, and there’s no change here for the team this year.
The bikes are equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets, Vision wheels, Continental tyres, and Prologo saddles, with no changes for the team this year.
