FSA will provide cranksets, handlebars, seatposts and stems for all riders and in 2019 it will be the seventh year of collaboration between the Italian brand and the team.

«We share a long part of our history as a mountain bike team with Full Speed Ahead. As a national team in the beginning of 2000s, we began to use FSA parts on our bikes because we wanted to put their quality to the benefit of our rider’s performances. With the team growing and rising up in the international hierarchy, we then came to a closer relationship with people from FSA, taking part also in the products development. We won several world titles together, and an Olympic gold medal in 2012. We, staff and riders, are very enthusiastic to share again our quest for victory with FSA at our side in 2019 and 2020» said  Pierre Lebreton, manager of KMC - EKOÏ - ORBEA.
