Since 1985, racing has been at the core of Yeti Cycles. A pioneer in mountain bike racing since its inception in the mid-eighties, Yeti Cycles has been racing and winning since the beginning.
As one of the longest-running Factory programs in the history of mountain biking, Yeti has produced multiple World Champions, World Cup and National Championship titles, and has been represented by some of the most iconic riders in Mountain Bike history.
Few programs in mountain biking have been as successful as Yeti at cultivating champions and winning at the highest level.
For 2026, Yeti / FOX Factory will be on the podium hunt with a strong team of Downhill and Enduro talent, including current EDR World Champion Richie Rude, current EDR World Cup Champion Slawomir Lukasik, and 2x King of Crankworx Ryan Gilchrist. Rounding out the team are returning riders JT Fisher, Tyler Waite, and Jonty Williamson. New to the team this year is first-year Elite DH women's rider Matilda “Tilly” Melton.
