With the 2026 WorldTour season already fast approaching, now is the perfect time to acquaint ourselves with what equipment we will see teams rolling on for the season ahead. For 2026, there have been a few notable changes in equipment used by teams, as well as some fresh faces to the WorldTour and Women’s WorldTour.
Elsewhere, changes in groupset partners have provided the biggest upheaval to the long-standing norm of the peloton. In the past 15 years, Shimano has been the undisputed titan of components; however, in 2026, that is set to change with SRAM adding four new teams in the men’s WorldTour and two more in the women’s. That gives SRAM nearly half the men’s WorldTour lineup and eight of the 14 teams in the women’s WorldTour peloton.
Past that trend, brand movement has been on the quiet side heading into 2026, while new teams are making the step up and bringing fresh equipment with them. For existing teams, things largely remain how they were in 2025. That’s partly due to a lot of existing contracts continuing their course through the 2026 season, as well as a few teams extending with long-term partners for the coming season.
On the men’s side, depending on how you view things, two or three new teams are filling the void left by Cofidis (relegated) and Arkéa-B&B Hotels (closed). Uno-X Mobility have made the step up, along with the newly rebranded and freshly owned NSN Cycling Team (formerly Israel-Premier Tech). Joining them is Lotto-Intermarché, the result of a merger between Lotto and Intermarché-Wanty.
Beyond this, a few familiar teams have had a name change to reflect changes to sponsorship arrangements. Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale has changed to the catchier name of Decathlon-CMA CGM, while Alpecin-Deceuninck has replaced Deceuninck with Premier Tech.
On the women’s front, things have been quieter. After the big moves of 2025, with Demi Vollering moving to FDJ-Suez and bringing with her a complete change in equipment, the biggest change comes from EF Education-Oatly stepping up to the Women’s WorldTour, bringing with it the new world champion, Magdeleine Vallieres.
How did Magdeleine Vallieres win the World Championships?
“From the beginning of the season, it was in the back of my head,” the new world champion told Escape Collective.
