Evenepoel signs a lifetime contract with Specialized.

The bond between Remco Evenepoel and Specialized is sealed with no expiration date. The brand has announced a lifetime agreement with the Belgian rider, ensuring that he will continue to compete on their bikes throughout his professional career.

Evenepoel will be with Specialized for life, and they just signed it

The news fits perfectly with what Evenepoel himself explained at the beginning of the season when he confirmed his signing with Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe. In that interview, he made it clear that continuing with Specialized was a non-negotiable condition for changing teams. His relationship with the brand has been present since his junior days, and he never considered breaking it.

Evenepoel has been developing his career alongside Specialized for years. From his first competitions to his consolidation in the elite, the brand has been present in all his major results, including his victory in a Grand Tour, world titles, Olympic successes, and his wins in time trials and road races.

The announcement reinforces a collaboration that has grown parallel to his evolution as a rider. Within the technical team at Specialized, the Belgian has found an environment where he actively participates in the development of the equipment, something he has pointed out several times as key to his performance.

Mike Sinyard, the founder of the brand, explains it this way in the statement: “Remco is not just a champion. He embodies the spirit of why I founded Specialized from the beginning: hard work, integrity, and resilience. With every ride, he pushes us, challenges us, and makes every bike we build better for all cyclists. It’s not just a lifetime alliance. It’s a belief without end. Remco forever.”

Evenepoel himself has also valued the agreement, focusing on the trust built over all these years: “I have worked with Specialized since the beginning of my career. They have been there in victories, in difficult moments, and in everything in between. There is total trust between us, and that’s why this lifetime agreement feels like a natural step for my sports career and beyond. I still have many goals ahead, and knowing that I will have the support of Specialized gives me great confidence. We share the same work ethic, we push each other to improve, and I am excited to see where this path will take us.”

In professional cycling, changing teams usually also meant changing bikes. But Evenepoel has followed a different path. He first conditioned his arrival at Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe on maintaining his bond with Specialized, and now he consolidates that decision with an agreement that covers his entire career.

The result is total continuity in his technical environment, something increasingly relevant in a peloton where details make the difference. In his case, that stability is assured in the long term.
