SPECIALIZED FACTORY RACING

Specialized Factory XC stands as one of the best teams in international cross-country mountain biking with a roster featuring standout athletes such as Christopher Blevins, Victor Koretzky, Martin Vidaurre, Adrien Boichis, Laura Stigger, Sina Frei, and Haley Batten.

The team secured first position in the World Cup team ranking at the first round in Araxá, Brazil with a dominating performance and kept that ball rolling securing the Team Overall at the finale in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada.

The 2025 season was historic: the riders on the team secured a phenomenal 34 World Cup podiums and impressive 14 wins, including Christopher Blevins winning the XCO & XCC Overall title in the Elite Mens Field.

The team wrote history by being the first elite men’s team to secure all three steps on the podium at the opening round of World Cup racing and being the first-ever team to achieve that twice in a row in XCO.

Specialized Factory XC’s 2025 season not only reinforced its status as a powerhouse in mountain biking but also highlighted the team’s commitment to innovation, athletic excellence, and a relentless pursuit of victory at the sport’s highest level.
