Tyler Jacobs (b. 13 August 2004, South Africa) is a rising talent in cross-country mountain biking, currently racing for Liv Factory Racing.
Despite only beginning her cross-country racing career in 2021, she has made rapid progress in the sport. In 2025, Tyler claimed both the Elite Women’s South African XCC National Championship and the U23 Women’s XCO National Title, solidifying her status as one of the country’s top young riders. She also opened her season with top-10 finishes in both U23 XCC and XCO at the 2025 UCI World Cups in Brazil. Known for her fearless descending, explosive starts, and strong work ethic, Tyler has quickly become one to watch in international U23 racing—with plenty of headroom still to grow.
20 Gravity teams have secured WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series status, guaranteeing their participation in all nine rounds of the 2026 UCI Downhill World Cup. We take a closer look at who will be racing for each team and highlight the key riders to watch this season.
