FACTORY RACING DH - MOUNTAINBIKE - RACING - CUBE WORLD

Kasper Hickman and Rosa Zierl, two promising talents from the Next Generation programme, are stepping up to the Factory Team for the 2025 season. After strong performances in 2024, both riders will compete in the junior category – and therefore the World Cup – for the first time.

Together with the elite athlete Max Hartenstern (Germany), they are forming a powerful line-up. Seven-time German Downhill Champion Max Hartenstern continues with Factory Racing, bringing consistency, speed, and experience to the squad.

The downhill arm of the Next Generation programme, launched in 2024, remains a key part of CUBE’s talent development strategy in 2025. The goal: to support young riders on their journey towards the Factory Racing Team.
