Giant Factory Off Road Team heads into the 2026 UCI World Cup season in CUORE.
The team will race in products from the Gold Pro line: the Gold Pro Jersey, Gold Pro Zipperless Jersey, Gold Pro 2in1 Suit, and Gold Pro Woven Bib Shorts. All four are new for 2026, built specifically for teams racing at the highest level.

What They're Wearing
Gold Pro Jersey
The Gold Pro Jersey is built for race day. The main fabric is ultra-light with a premium elastane blend that balances breathability with a precision fit. Set-in sleeves use Italian aero fabric to reduce drag without restricting movement.
Details matter here: a low-profile collar that sits flat, bonded sleeve cuffs and front hem for a clean finish, and a rear hem with woven elastic and silicone gripper that keeps the jersey locked in place when you're out of the saddle. Three open rear pockets handle nutrition and essentials.
Gold Pro Zipperless Jersey
The Gold Pro Zipperless Jersey strips the design down to what XC racing actually demands. No front zipper means less weight, fewer failure points, and a cleaner aerodynamic profile. The round neck sits low and comfortable without restricting breathing during hard efforts.
The knit fabric is among the lightest we make, with moisture management tuned for quick drying when conditions change fast. Bonded cuffs and front hem eliminate bulk. The rear hem uses the same woven elastic and silicone gripper system as the Gold Pro Jersey. This is the jersey many of our World Cup athletes reach for on race day.
Gold Pro 2in1 Suit
The Gold Pro 2in1 Suit combines a high-performance knit torso with a woven compression lower. The torso breathes; the shorts support. Aero sleeves feature a striped texture engineered to manage airflow, while the woven compression fabric in the shorts reduces muscle fatigue over repeated efforts.
A full-length YKK zipper with semi-lock puller allows ventilation adjustments mid-race. Raw-edge leg hems with silicone grip hold position without constriction. Three open rear pockets maintain access to nutrition. The single-piece construction eliminates the gap between jersey and shorts that opens up on climbs.
Gold Pro Woven Bib Shorts
This is CUORE's first bib short built with woven compression fabric. Woven construction delivers a different kind of support than knit: cleaner compression, minimal seams, and a fit that holds its shape across long efforts.
The chamois uses triple-density foam, firmer where support matters, softer where comfort does. Woven elastic suspenders flex without losing tension. The back panel is perforated lightweight Lycra for ventilation where heat builds. Integrated silicone yarn in the leg grippers holds without the tight-band sensation of traditional grippers.
The Partnership
Giant Factory Off Road Team competes at the highest level of cross-country mountain biking. The demands are specific: kit that performs across altitude changes, temperature swings, and terrain that punishes equipment.
We built the Gold Pro line for exactly this. The team's 2026 season will put it to the test. The Gold Pro line is available for custom team orders. Contact us to start your team's kit.
