DOWNHILL

FACTORY RACING TEAM

New Zealander Jess Blewitt joins the Downhill Factory Racing team from the 2024 season. The 21-year-old is one of the rising stars of the downhill racing circuit and a regular fixture on the podium despite injury troubles. “I'm stoked on the team and the bike. I immediately felt part of the CUBE family,” says the CUBE Factory Racing rider. 

Seven-time German Downhill Champion Max Hartenstern and 21-year-old Simon Chapelet stay with Factory Racing.

From 2024 the Next Generation team will also add downhill to its programme. The goal is to give talented young riders the opportunity to develop as athletes and step up to the Factory racing team.
