The Veneto-based brand confirms its road presence alongside UCI ProTeam Novo Nordisk and strengthens its commitment to the off-road world with KTM MTB Factory Team, Metallurgica Veneta MTB Pro Team, and Cannondale ISB Sport Team. In gravel, the choice fell on the Italian team Reverb Cycling.
Partnerships represent a concrete opportunity for product development for Selle San Marco: constant interaction with elite athletes and teams across three key disciplines—road, gravel, and mountain biking—allows the company to gather crucial feedback to continuously innovate and improve its solutions.
Road: Confirmation with Novo Nordisk Team
In 2026, Selle San Marco will once again partner with the Novo Nordisk Team, a US professional team known for its commitment to enabling athletes with diabetes to compete at the highest level. This partnership combines performance and values, helping to redefine the concept of competition in professional sports.
"It's very important for us to be able to support athletes and teams in high-level competitions. Their trust makes us proud and responsible, because we know how crucial product reliability is in top-level competition," says Riccardo Bigolin, Vice President of the Selle Italia Group, of which Selle San Marco is a part. "We will continue to support our partners in 2026: their feedback is a crucial guide for us to grow and improve."
Off-road: Three MTB XCO and XCM Teams
In the world of mountain biking, the Veneto-based company consolidates its partnership with KTM MTB Factory Team, an Austrian team active in Olympic Cross Country (XCO).
Two new collaborations are also added:
- Metallurgica Veneta MTB Pro Team (Italy)
- Cannondale ISB Sport Team (Spain)
Both teams will compete in the Cross Country Marathon (XCM) discipline, further expanding the brand's presence in international off-road competitions.
Gravel: Growth with Reverb Cycling
In competitive gravel, Selle San Marco has chosen to support the Italian team Reverb Cycling, a rapidly growing team that is building its own competitive path in one of the most dynamic and expanding disciplines on the cycling scene.
Ambassadors and athletes
From teams to individual athletes: Jordi Bago returns to the Selle San Marco team, with the aim of strengthening the brand's presence in the enduro world.
