"The caption posted with the reel gives a heartfelt thank-you to Cam and a tip of the hat to how he has influenced not just the brand but the sport and culture as a whole. 'From shaping early prototypes to his 20th anniversary Fuel EX, his influence runs through every Trek full suspension bike. Rider, ambassador, and joy-bringer.'"
"In 2004, right as freeride and slopestyle mountain biking really started to boom, Cam McCaul signed with Trek Bicycles, and for the last 22 years, it seemed as if the partnership would have no end. Alas, things change, and for 2026, Cam McCaul has yet to disclose his new bike sponsorship."
"Without the partnership between Trek and Cam, the sport of mountain biking, and especially freeride, would be different. We'll be curious to see who Cam will be riding for in this new year, but whoever it is, they're lucky to land a rider with such a prolific legacy."
Cam McCaul has ended a more-than-20-year riding partnership with Trek Bikes, with Trek acknowledging his departure and influence. Trek credited Cam for shaping early prototypes and noted his 20th anniversary Fuel EX as evidence of his impact on full-suspension models. Cam originally signed with Trek in 2004 during the rise of freeride and slopestyle mountain biking, and that partnership lasted 22 years. Cam has not yet announced a new bike sponsor for 2026. Cam and his brother Tyler played key roles in popularizing the early-2000s riding style, leaving a lasting legacy in freeride mountain biking.
