Elite and the 2026 partner teams

The brand most present across the WorldTour and the pro scene, with technology developed alongside the best.

Elite confirms its partnerships for 2026 with the largest number of pro cycling teams: a total of 13 WorldTour teams, men and women, will race this season with our products for in-race hydration and the smart trainers they use to build their indoor preparation.

With the champions of the peloton, every detail is tested, measured, refined.
An ongoing commitment built on technical support, product development and day-to-day presence.

Today we’re the brand most present among WorldTour teams, and we continue to be the technical partner of more than half of the pro teams worldwide.

The value of these partnerships is tangible—and you can see it in the results of the season just finished.

In 2025, Tadej Pogačar with UAE Team Emirates XRG delivered a benchmark year: victory at the Tour de France, a win at the Tour of Flanders, a hat-trick at Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and the Road World Champion title.

The Classics made their mark too, with Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Premier Tech) thanks to wins at Milano–Sanremo and Paris–Roubaix.
 

On the women’s side, 2025 gave an equally clear picture of what it means to work alongside top teams: UAE Team ADQ closed the season celebrating the overall victories at the Giro d’Italia Women and the UAE Tour Women with Elisa Longo Borghini.

Fenix–Premier Tech took La Flèche Wallonne Féminine thanks to Puck Pieterse’s win, while Canyon//SRAM zondacrypto added to its palmarès with Zoe Bäckstedt’s U23 Road World Championship victory in Kigali.

Behind these results is method: constant testing, tight logistics, real-time support, and equipment that has to perform every single day.

On the road, sports bottles and bottle cages must be secure and effortless to use: ergonomics, durability, and quick access matter—especially in the most chaotic moments of a race.

Indoors, the priorities shift: you need a smart trainer that’s easy to set up, rock-solid in connectivity, and consistently reliable in its data for warm-ups, targeted sessions, and recovery rides.

Marco Cavallin, Sponsorship and Product Innovation Manager at Elite:

“In pro cycling, every choice is under continuous scrutiny: performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

Partnerships with teams allow us to validate solutions and fine details in extreme conditions, turning immediate feedback into measurable improvements across the entire range. We’re proud to work with the best professionals in the sport.”

Justo 2 remains the top of the range: it’s the smart trainer chosen as the official smart trainer for the finals of the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships and is also used, among others, by Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates XRG in their daily preparation.

The idea behind this smart trainer is total control: integrated 12-speed cassette, power measurement to <1% via an integrated power meter, and gradient simulation up to 24%.

On top of that, a full set of features designed for maximum stability in racing environments and long-term reliability. These include Wi-Fi connectivity, 10 Hz data transmission, multiple pairing options for cadence sensors and heart-rate monitors, and a double set of Flex Feet, designed to respect each athlete’s individual biomechanics.

Avanti strengthens the mid-range with an advanced setup: ±1% accuracy with an integrated power meter, gradients up to 18%, built-in Wi-Fi, and a pair of black Flex Feet.

In 2026, Avanti is also available in the Zwift Cog and Click version, designed for an instant Zwift setup with virtual shifting and handlebar control. It’s the smart trainer used by the teams: Bahrain Victorious, Jayco AlUla and NSN Cycling team.

Rivo takes over from Suito: it keeps the same concept of a compact, practical trainer, bringing it into an even more streamlined and updated format with Wi-Fi and a design focused on simplicity and easy portability.

Here too, the Zwift Cog and Click version is available: 24 virtual gears without lateral chain movement, quiet shifting, and ultra-fast setup.

Among the most recognizable products in pro cycling is the Fly Team: an iconic sports bottle, chosen for years in the WorldTour for its light weight, high compressibility, and generous flow—making it easy to drink even at full intensity.

The Fly sports bottle is also an eco-design project, built to use as little material as possible without sacrificing functionality: that’s why the 550 ml version weighs just 51 g.

In 2026, the focus on grams and aerodynamics grows on one of the most sensitive points of the bike: the bottle cage. Leggero Carbon is an iconic bottle cage, chosen by generations of champions because it combines a secure hold with low weight.

The new version carries this identity forward with a redesigned look, made to integrate better on the bike and reduce the overall setup even further.

Workstand Race FC comes into play where real bike work happens: at the service course, in technical areas, and at the start and finish, when you need a stable, immediate support for adjustments, checks, and quick interventions.

It’s designed to cut unnecessary steps and make the team’s routine smoother—especially on days when time is the scarcest resource.

In this context, Borson is a bike travel bag designed to make transport faster and simpler with minimal disassembly, with a protection kit built to safeguard the frame, wheels, and rear derailleur during travel.
