Racing Team Program

“Semi-Sponsorship” program

More Than a Kit. A Partnership Engineered for Performance

Together with MBO

At MBO Cycling, we believe a team’s kit is more than apparel—it is your identity. Forged in training, proven in competition, and worn with collective pride. Our 2026 Semi-Sponsorship Program is designed for teams who are serious about performance, quality, and style. We don’t just supply kit; we build partnerships that reflect your ambition.

We welcome ambitious, organized, and professional teams—from competitive road squads and gravel collectives to foundational development programs. If this sounds like your team, let's build something together

2. Is there a minimum team size?

Yes. To qualify, your team must have at least 8 riders ordering kit. Most successful applicants range from 10–25 riders.

*Community or development goals
Passion and planning matter more than past results.

8. What if we can’t meet the minimum rider count yet?

No worries—we understand great teams take time to grow. We encourage you to build toward the 8-rider minimum, but if you’re close (e.g., 6–7 committed riders) and have a clear plan for 2026, reach out anyway. We’re open to discussing flexible options for promising new teams.

9. Can we reorder kits later—for new riders or replacements?

Yes! Approved teams get simplified reordering throughout the season. Whether you’re adding new members or replacing worn gear, you’ll enjoy streamlined ordering, consistent pricing, and fast turnaround—no need to start from scratch.
