Cannondale Factory Racing is starting a new chapter in 2025. The roster has been completely revamped for this season, with the only remaining member being British rider Charlie Aldridge, who, after an exceptional 2024 season, will continue to wear the team colors.

The star signing for CFR was undoubtedly Swiss rider Jolanda Neff, Olympic and World champion, who has already shown excellent performance in the preseason aboard her new Scalpel.

Youthful promises from the international MTB scene in the U23 category have also joined the team, such as Luca Martin, Ana Santos, and Cole Punchard, who will seek to make their mark in the sport and take Cannondale to the top of the podium.

This new chapter comes with a completely renewed image. The design team, led by Ryan Chung, has created a new aesthetic for the team's Scalpel that highlights the natural beauty of carbon combined with striking orange and green details. This new aesthetic visually connects the frame, fork, and kit, while keeping the total weight of the bike to a minimum, an iconic feature of Cannondale.

The Shimano Gear S-Phyre kit follows a performance-focused philosophy. Strategically placed white panels on the top of the jersey act as heat reflectors and keep the riders cool. The graphic design of the kit seamlessly integrates with the style of the bikes, making it impossible not to identify the CFR team both in the paddock and in competition.
