2024 Men’s WorldTour team bikes and equipment | Who’s riding what?

All the bikes and components used by the 18 men’s WorldTour teams in 2024 and what’s changed this year

With the Tour Down Under about to kick off the 2024 WorldTour racing season, the teams are making their final preparations and tweaking their equipment.

For many, that’s a continuation of their 2023 setups – it’s easier for both riders and mechanics to change a few things between seasons rather than make wholesale changes.

But there are some significant swaps from 2023, which we’ve highlighted in our 2024 Men’s WorldTour team bike round-up below.

New bikes

2023 was a good year for bike launches, after a comparatively lean period during the Covid pandemic, when travel restrictions made it more difficult for brands to work closely with frame fabricators overseas.

In the last year, for example, we’ve seen the new Tarmac SL8 and Roubaix SL8 from Specialized, which continues to sponsor two teams in 2024: Bora-Hansgrohe and Soudal-QuickStep. 

In addition, the latest, lightest Cannondale SuperSix Evo LAB71 broke cover, the Look 795 Blade RS was finally officially launched, there was a new even-lighter Bianchi Specialissima and Decathlon’s Van Rysel brand joined the WorldTour with a slew of new bikes that the rest of us might actually be able to afford.

The bike brand merry-go-round that has been a feature of past years seems to have stopped. Wilier has joined Specialized and Canyon in sponsoring two men’s WorldTour teams though, while BMC and Lapierre have left the tour, the latter after 22 years of sponsoring the Groupama-FDJ team and its predecessors. 

No teams using Campagnolo Super Record Wireless

Perhaps the biggest news is not a single team will be using Campagnolo components in this year’s WorldTour, for the first time at the top tier of pro cycling. That’s despite Campag launching its new flagship Super Record Wireless groupset last year.

A couple of years ago, Campagnolo had three sponsored teams, but that dwindled to one (AG2R-Citroën) last year. 

It’s not so long ago that every team at the peak of pro racing used a Campagnolo groupset. Shimano was the interloper, calling upon the services of one Lance Armstrong to bring its first Tour de France win in 1999.

Nowadays, Shimano dominates WorldTour groupsets, with 14 of the 18 teams using Dura-Ace. 

Campagnolo lovers don’t despair though. Time pedals were another component that disappeared from pro cycling, having once dominated. Under SRAM’s ownership, Time pedals have made a comeback in the last two years, with Lidl-Trek using its featherlight pedals in 2023, being joined this year by Movistar.

In fact, SRAM and its brands seem to be in the ascendancy. It’s already heavily represented in the Women’s WorldTour and in 2024 has four men’s teams using Red AXS, up from two in 2022. 

Another SRAM brand, Hammerhead, now supplies its Karoo 2 computers to Bora-Hansgrohe. Surprisingly, considering its profile in the collective cycling psyche, Zipp, another SRAM brand, only supplies wheels to one team: Movistar.

Clothing swap-outs

Although most teams are riding the same bikes as last year, there’s been greater turnover in more minor suppliers. 

Probably the prize for the highest profile change goes to Gobik. The Spanish brand has edged out Bioracer as supplier to Ineos Grenadiers, adding to its sponsorship of Movistar. There’s a range of other lesser-known cycle clothing brands plying their trade this year, alongside the likes of Castelli, Sportful and Alé.

There’s also the usual smattering of component suppliers coming and going from the WorldTour. Cema bearings make an appearance on Jayco-AlUla’s Giant bikes, Token bottom brackets are fitted to the Looks of Cofidis and CeramicSpeed’s go-faster bearings continue to grace a variety of teams’ bikes.

2024 WorldTour bikes | Who’s riding what?

As usual, the WorldTour teams get the cream of the crop of their sponsors’ equipment – no swap-outs for second-tier components here.

Here’s a summary run-down of each team’s bikes, groupset, wheels and other components, with more detail below.

Edit Table

Alpecin-Deceuninck (ADC)

Alpecin-Deceuninck Canyon Aeroad
It’s the same again for Alpecin-Deceuninck in 2024. – Alpecin-Deceuninck

Alpecin-Deceuninck is the first of many teams to have kept to its winning formula in 2024. Its sponsors have every reason to be content with that, with World Champion Mathieu van der Poel flying their colours. The subtle changes to his Canyon Aeroad seen from early last year have yet to show up in retail bikes though.

Arkéa-B&B Hotels (ARK)

Arkea Bianchi Specialissima
Arkéa riders will be on the latest Bianchi Specialissima this year. – Arkea-B&B Hotels

Arkéa-B&B Hotels continues on Bianchi bikes this year. Although the Oltre RC aero road bike is still in the team’s quiver, it’s the latest iteration of the Specialissima that’s likely to take centre stage. 

The new Specialissima is more aero and efficient than its predecessor says Bianchi. At a claimed 6.6kg weight for a top-spec stock build, pro bikes are likely to skim the UCI 6.8kg limit too, even with bottle cages, race numbers and computers bolted on. 

Astana-Qazaqstan Team (AST)

Astana Qazaqstan Wilier Filante SLR

It’s a fifth year on Wilier bikes for Astana-Qazaqstan. Wilier is supplying the same mix of the aero Filante SLR and lightweight/aero 0 SLR for road stages as last year. The paintjob looks to be staying the same too – it’s still arguably the best looking in the pro peloton (with Trek a close competitor), so why change?

The only significant change in 2024 is a swap from HED wheels to Vision. The team started 2023 on Corima wheels, but that brand has been slow out of the blocks with the pros’ new-found favourite tubeless wheels, so the team was one of the few still using tubulars at the start of last season. 

We’d guess the swap to HED was prompted by its tubeless support, but it looks as if that relationship hasn’t worked out – or maybe Vision made the team a more attractive offer.

Bahrain Victorious (TBV)

Bahrain Victorious Merida Scultura
A new-look kit but familiar Merida bikes for Bahrain Victorious. – Bahrain Victorious

It’s another year with the same Merida bikes and components for Bahrain Victorious, even if the team’s clothing colours have had a make-over.

The FSA/Vision component mix continues too, with Vision providing wheels and its parent brand FSA adding other components. Team leaders get custom 3D-printed Vision bar extensions on their Time Warp time trial bikes – which must surely be due an update soon.

Bora-Hansgrohe (BOH)

Bora-Hansgrohe Specialized Tarmac SL8
Bora Hansgrohe has switched from Shimano to SRAM groupsets. – Bora-Hansgrohe

Bora-Hansgrohe continues to ride Specialized bikes with Roval wheels, but upgraded from the Tarmac SL7 to SL8 during 2023. This year, there’s been a groupset takeover by SRAM though, displacing Shimano. 

SRAM has also elbowed its way into the team’s cycling computers, with SRAM-owned Hammerhead in place of Wahoo. The team bikes still appear to be fitted with Shimano Dura-Ace pedals though.

There’s a proposed tie-up with Red Bull in the offing, although this apparently needs to be approved by the Austrian competition authorities – look out for a name change for the team later in 2024.

Cofidis (COF)

Cofidis Look 795 Blade RS
Cofidis is on the Look 795 Blade RS for a second year. – Team Cofidis

Cofidis starts its second year on the Look 795 Blade RS, a bike that was only officially launched in June 2023, some six months after we first caught sight of it under the team. 

Corima is one of the last wheelmakers not offering a tubeless-ready clincher. At the 2023 Tour de France, Cofidis was still running 25mm tubs and that looks to be continuing in 2024. 

Another blast from the past is the SRM power meter, although the team does get a flashy and bang up-to-date T47 standard Token ceramic bottom bracket. 

Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale Team (DAT)

Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale's Van Rysel RCR Pro
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale has switched to the more affordable Van Rysel RCR Pro.

Bravo Decathlon. While other pro teams are riding bikes that, even in retail specs, are prohibitively expensive, it’s stepped into the WorldTour with the reasonably affordable Van Rysel RCR Pro lightweight/aero bike. There’s the FCR, a pro-level Van Rysel aero bike, in the mill too. 

The new setup and sponsorship for the team elbows out BMC. It also sees it supplied with wheels from SwissSide, another new WorldTour entrant. However, SwissSide’s aero experts have already helped Canyon and DT Swiss (which isn’t represented in the WorldTour this year) hone their aerodynamics. 

EF Education-EasyPost (EFE)

EF Education First-EasyPost Cannondale SuperSix Evo Lab71
The Cannondale SuperSix Evo Lab71 comes with a formidable price tag. – EF Education First-EasyPost

EF Education-EasyPost is a case in point of the increasingly spendy bikes ridden by the pros. The latest LAB71 version of the Cannondale SuperSix Evo carries a juicy price tag (although the team was said to be riding rebadged standard Hi-Mod SuperSix Evo bikes last year).

The updates to the SuperSix look small, but in LAB71 guise, the new frame is claimed to weigh 770g, despite its threaded bottom bracket, and to be 12 watts faster. Pro builds are likely to skim the magic 6.8kg figure.

Other bits and bobs largely look to have remained as last year, with FSA/Vision wheels, although the cockpit on the new SuperSix Evo is a one-piece Cannondale System Bar. Probably as a result of a multi-year deal, the team is still using the Power2Max power meters that it’s had fitted to its bikes since 2019, despite its now close relationship with Wahoo, which has its own Powrlink Zero pedal power meter.

Groupama-FDJ (GFC)

Groupama-FDJ Wilier Filante SLR
Groupama-FDJ’s move from Lapierre to Wilier raised a few eyebrows. – Wilier

One shock move in 2024 is Groupama-FDJ’s swap from Lapierre bikes to Wilier. The team had seemed eternally wedded to Lapierre, in a relationship that started way back in 2002. Lapierre’s decision to end the partnership may be a result of financial problems reported to be suffered by its parent Accell Group.

Wilier has a history of stepping up to supply WorldTour teams in distress when their previous bike sponsor has dropped out suddenly; it took over as bike supplier to Astana in 2020, replacing Argon 18. 

Ineos-Grenadiers (IGD)

Ineos Pinarello Dogma
There are few changes in 2024 for Ineos Grenadiers and Pinarello. – Ineos Grenadiers

It’s business as usual again this year for the Ineos Grenadiers team, with the Pinarello Dogma F road and Bolide F time trial bikes, and a mix of Shimano and Princeton CarbonWorks wheelsets, the latter for time-trial duty. 

The team has swapped from Fizik to Prologo saddles though and has replaced its Bioracer team kit with the lesser-known (at least in the UK) Spanish supplier Gobik. Sunglass supplier SunGod rapidly did the decent thing last year and produced a white frame for Geraint Thomas. 

Intermarché-Wanty (IWA)

Intermarche-Wanty Cube Litening Aero
There’s only a change of name for Intermarché-Wanty. – @cyclingmedia agency/Intermarche-Wanty

There’s yet another marginal name change this year for Intermarché-Wanty, with Gobert Matériaux dropping out as a named sponsor, although everything else looks to be remaining as in 2023. That includes the Cube Litening road bike and wheels, with shouty logos from Cube-owned Newmen, along with the plus-sized CeramicSpeed derailleur cage.

Lidl-Trek (LTK)

Trek Madone Gen 7
Lidl-Trek sticks with a Trek and SRAM-dominated formula. – Trek Bikes

Aside from its name change mid-2023, Lidl-Trek starts 2024 with the same Trek-heavy line-up of sponsors as last year. Trek’s Bontrager brand is responsible for wheels and much of the rest of the componentry. 

Meanwhile, SRAM supplies the drivetrain, power meter and, via its Time brand, the team’s pedals. Tyres and cycling computers are the only deviations from the Trek/SRAM theme.

Movistar Team (MOV)

Movistar Canyon Aeroad
Movistar has moved from Look to Time pedals. – Movistar

Movistar is entering 2024 with only minor changes of equipment from previous years. It’s another team using SRAM gearing, but in this case complete with wheels from Zipp for an all-SRAM package on its Canyon bikes. 

Last year, we suggested the team might be pre-release testing an upgrade to SRAM Red, but, like the changes to the Canyon Aeroad, we’re yet to see an official announcement. The main change for this year is a pedal swap to Time from Look.

Soudal-QuickStep (SOQ)

Soudal-QuickStep Tarmac SL8
Soudal-QuickStep continues its partnership with Specialized. – Soudal-QuickStep

Soudal-QuickStep is, like Bora-Hansgrohe, on Specialized bikes again this year. The upgrade of the Tarmac from SL7 to SL8 sees the bikes equipped with the one-piece Roval Rapide Cockpit. This component is said to account for around 4 watts of the SL8’s claimed 16.4 watts of aero gains over the SL7.

Apart from this aero upgrade, the rest of the team’s setup appears to remain the same as last year.

Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL (DFP)

Scott Foil RC

Team DSM has picked up not one, but two new title sponsors since the start of 2023, with PostNL joining Firmenich on the team’s jerseys in 2024.

That seems to be the limit of the changes though, with the team sticking to its Scott Foil RC aero bikes, Syncros components and Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets again in 2024.

Team Jayco-AlUla (JAY)

Jayco AlUla Giant Propel
Team Jayco AlUla will mostly be on the Giant Propel Advanced. – Jayco AlUla/Luca Bettini/SprintCyclingAgency

Framesets: Giant Propel Advanced Disc / TCR Advanced SL Disc / Trinity Advanced Pro (TT)

Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace, Cema bottom bracket

Wheels: Cadex

Components: Cadex bars and stems

Pedals: Shimano Dura-Ace 

Power meter: Shimano Dura-Ace

Tyres: Cadex

Other: Cadex saddles, Giant bottle cages, Giant computers

The Giant sponsorship of Team Jaco-AlUla continues to the end of 2024 and sees the team riding predominantly the aero (but also lightweight) Propel Advanced, complete with wheels and other bits from Giant’s premium Cadex brand.

Cema has broken through the Giant sponsorship blockade though, supplying bottom bracket bearings, while Elite provides its Fly water bottles.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike (TVL)

Visma-Lease a Bike Cervelo S5
Goodbye Jumbo, hello Lease a Bike. – Visma-Lease a Bike

The dominant grand tour team of 2023 has lost its long-time sponsorship by the Dutch Jumbo supermarket chain, with Lease a Bike stepping up to co-title sponsor from its subordinate sponsorship in 2023.

Otherwise, things look to be remaining the same at the start of the 2024 season, with the team continuing to ride Cervélo bikes. Cervélo’s owner, Pon Holdings, has more-or-less a monopoly on the team’s equipment, also supplying its Reserve wheels, Nimbl shoes and BBB accessories. 

Lease a Bike is also a Pon-owned brand, while team cars will come via Pon’s Dutch Skoda distributor. Pon is also the Netherlands distributor for the MAN buses and trucks the team uses. 

UAE Team Emirates (UAD)

UAE Team Emirates Colnago V4Rs
If it ain’t broke… – UAE Team Emirates

Last, but definitely not least, UAE Team Emirates was again top of the UCI team rankings in 2023, with Tadej Pogačar the leading rider.

Its winning combination extends to its bikes and equipment too, with the team retaining the same combination of Colnago V4Rs road bike, Shimano groupset and ENVE wheels in 2024.
