Origine, the bike brand that could reach the XCO World Cup in 2025

The bicycle manufacturer Origine Cycles is not yet well known outside of the French country, but that could change starting in 2025 when many already place it as the brand of one of the new teams that will arrive at the XCO World Cup next season.

Origine could be the bike brand of the new French team that will arrive at the XCO World Cup

After retiring from competition, the French Maxime Marotte seems to be finalizing all the details of a new XCO World Cup team that he will manage himself. Of course, this information has not yet been confirmed or made official, but some French media have already revealed that their first signing has been the young Mathis Azzaro.

Everything points to it being a French structure and that to continue with the national line, the team will use a relatively young but well-established bike brand in the country, Origine Cycles.

Origine is a French bicycle brand born in 2012 and is characterized by offering high-quality models that can be customized online. In addition, their bicycles are designed, assembled, and hand-painted in northern France.

It has an extensive catalog with road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel or electric bikes, as well as offering its own components and equipment. But if it is finally confirmed that Origine will officially enter the XCO World Cup, everything points to their most used mountain bike being the Théorème FS GTR 120mm.

The Théorème FS is an elegant full-suspension mountain bike that was introduced in 2022 and stands out for refining the technologies that currently work best in the discipline. Without trying to stand out with groundbreaking shapes or aesthetics, its resemblance to the previous version of the SCOTT Spark is more than evident, this bike has a rear single pivot system that takes advantage of the flexion of the rear triangle to optimize its performance. The frame is available in GTR carbon, stiffer and lighter, or GTO, a bit heavier, and stands out for a modern geometry with elegant lines and outstanding integrated cable routing.

If everything is finally confirmed and considering that Azzaro has finished on the podium several times this season, the Origine Théorème could be one of the surprises in 2025.
