MONDRAKER FACTORY RACING XC GOES INTO RACE MODE

THE 2025 XCO & XCC WORLD CUP IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF

It’s time for the greatest XC show on Earth.


We've been putting in the miles on the F-Podium. We've raced. We've pushed ourselves to the limit and we’ve already made it onto the podium. 

They say the way you prepare in the pre-season is how you race throughout the season, and there’s no question we’ve put the work in and then some. Now that the first-ever Mondraker Factory XC team is primed and ready, it's time to put it to the test on the racetrack. The 2025 XCC & XCO World Cup is here. The greatest XC show on Earth is about to begin. 


Everything brand new (almost)
Everything brand new (almost)

Brand new and ready to race. That’s the vibe of our new Factory team just before it hits the XCO & XCC World Cup stage. Yet, there’s a certain déjà vu going on as well!


You see, our riders, they already know what it means to fight for World Cup podiums. Some even know what it feels like to wear the rainbow jersey; just ask Mona Mitterwallner. Not forgetting our Team Manager, Sergio Mantecón, with 20 years of racing experience and more than a few World Cup podiums to his name. It’s new, and yet not so new because Mondraker, and by definition our Factory Racing XC team, is and always has been all about competition, dedication, and pushing the limits. 


10 races. 100 times the action.

This year, the World Cup calendar has gone from 8 races to 10, running from April through to October. We’re kicking things off once again at the iconic Araxá circuit in Brazil, from 3rd to 6th April. Then, a week later we’ll be back there again before moving on to Nové Město Na Moravě in May, followed by Leogang, Val di Sole, Pal Arinsal, Les Gets, Lenzerheide, Lake Placid, and last but by no means least Mont-Sainte-Anne.


The red clay tracks of Araxá kicked off the 2024 season with a fast, undulating track in a stunning forest setting packed with spectators. In 2025, there will be two variations of the course; one for the opening round, and another for the second round, all the better to keep the riders on their toes.


First stop, Brazil.
