"Specialized's 2026 lineup is quite a blend of riders: former and current world champions, versatile crossover talent, and riders capable of winning across disciplines. The big targets are mostly marquee events across marathon MTB and gravel. On the calendar so far are the Absa Cape Epic, the Life Time Grand Prix, UCI Gravel World Series, Gravel Earth, Gravel Burn, and both the UCI Marathon and Gravel World Championships."
"Velocio was the apparel sponsor for Keegan and the Santa Cruz htSQD. The Santa Cruz htSQD helped Velocio develop its newest hydration vest and race kits; it's no surprise to see them accompany Keegan on his next adventure. Velocio GM Sarah Leishman says the partnership builds directly on work already done with Keegan Swenson during the 2025 season, including the development of a proprietary race suit."
Specialized Off Road's 2026 roster combines former and current world champions, crossover talent, and riders with multi-discipline winning potential. The team will pursue a global off-road calendar focused on marquee marathon mountain bike and gravel events, including Absa Cape Epic, Life Time Grand Prix, UCI Gravel World Series, Gravel Earth, Gravel Burn, and both UCI Marathon and Gravel World Championships. The season opens in February at Santa Vall with the entire lineup riding the Specialized Crux. Velocio becomes the official apparel partner, expanding prior work with Keegan Swenson to develop hydration vests, race kits, and a proprietary race suit across the whole team.
