The men's pro cycling WorldTour is made up of 18 teams, and with the season fast approaching there are plenty of new kits, bikes and equipment to look at. We've put together this guide covering who's riding what, including some notable reappearances in the peloton for the 2025 season.
It’s that time of year again when teams unveil their 2025 livery and bikes from sunny locations abroad, and this season brings some exciting changes to the men's WorldTour peloton. Campagnolo returns as a groupset and wheel sponsor after a one-year hiatus, while Colnago has launched a new, fully-fledged aero bike. Team Picnic PostNL makes a switch from Scott bikes to Lapierre, and Chinese bikes make their WorldTour debut with XDS Carbon-Tech bikes for the XDS Astana team.
Out of the 18 teams, 13 are equipped with Shimano groupsets, four are riding with SRAM Red AXS, and notably, one team has returned to using Campagnolo groupsets after a one-year absence from the WorldTour peloton.
Without further ado, let's have a look at the bikes. Here are all the men's WorldTour teams and their rides, listed in alphabetical order...
Alpecin-Deceuninck
This year, Alpecin-Deceuninck remain committed to a proven strategy and are continuing to ride Canyon bikes equipped with Shimano groupsets. Riders have the choice of the new Aeroad CFR, lightweight Ultimate CFR or Speedmax TT.
Spec-wise, they're running Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and wheels. The team has made the switch to Pirelli tyres, and they sit on Selle Italia saddles.
Arkéa-B&B Hotels
It's business as usual for the French team Arkéa-B&B Hotels, as they maintain their partnership with Bianchi following the bike manufacturer's return to the WorldTour in 2023.
The team has access to the Oltre RC, Specialissima and Aquilla TT models, all equipped with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets and FSA power meters. Vision wheels, Vittoria tyres and Selle Italia saddles complete the set-up.
Bahrain Victorious
There's no change in the Bahrain Victorious team camp, as they've chosen to use the same trusted Merida bikes as last year and retained the same colourway. In the past, they’ve introduced special liveries for key races, so we may see updated designs later in the season.
Their bike line-up includes the Reacto and Scultura road bikes, along with the Warp TT model. Shimano Dura-Ace remains the groupset, the wheels are Vision with Continental GP5000 tyres, the saddles Prologo and finishing kit is handled by FSA.
Cofidis

The team has also made the switch to Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres, but continue to sit on Selle Italia saddles.

The team will continue to use Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 as their groupset of choice, following the switch from Campagnolo to Shimano last season. Their bikes are equipped with SwissSide Hadron2 wheels, Continental GP5000 tyres and Fizik saddles, completing the setup.
EF Education-EasyPost
