id=\"elk-daa27884-7bad-11f1-9ef6-7b5c2835908a\">The Tour de France is the biggest bike race in the world and sees the very best cyclists from the sport&#8217;s biggest teams do battle over 21 stages and, this year, a total distance of 3,333km.<\/p>\n<p>Here we&#8217;ll give you the rundown of the bikes, components and equipment used by all 23 teams competing in the 2026 edition of the race. It can be hard to spot individual bike brands in the peloton while the racing is on, let alone their wheels, tyres and saddles, so we have listed all the individual components and equipment teams are using.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-daa27884-7bad-11f1-9ef6-7b5c2835908a-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A lot of new bikes and components have been launched since last year, some only in the days before the race, so you can rely on this guide to be your ultimate up-to-date equipment guide for the race.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\"

He and the rest of the team usually ride the Colnago Y1Rs aero bike. For the critical time trial stages, he will have the just-launched TT2, on which he won the Tour de Suisse time trial by 0.04 seconds ahead of Mathieu van der Poel and which comes close to the UCI weight limit.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team Emirates uses Dura-Ace groupsets, plus Enve wheels and handlebars. Notably, the team has used exotic Carbon Ti carbon chainrings and disc rotors to save even more weight. It even swaps out the stock bottom bracket on Pog and Isaac del Toro&#8217;s bikes for a purpose-designed model from Spanish brand Bikone which weighs just 77g and is designed to be more aero.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"uno-x-mobility-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29e0e-7bad-11f1-ba74-d9fc1255e5d3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Dare bikes are all gloss carbon and exposed weave <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul id=\"elk-daa29e7c-7bad-11f1-9f14-3b26e4ac7f2d\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li><strong>Bikes<\/strong>: Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 \/ Dean (TT)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Groupset<\/strong>: Shimano Dura-Ace<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wheels<\/strong>: DT Swiss<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tyres:<\/strong> Continental GP5000 S TR \/ TT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clothing<\/strong>: Fusion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saddles<\/strong>: Prologo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finishing Kit<\/strong>: Ridley \/ Deda<\/li>\n<li><strong>Computers<\/strong>: Garmin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"elk-daa29ef4-7bad-11f1-b7a4-2d804058f231\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Scandi team Uno-X Mobility continues to ride the aero Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 aero bike, although the team also had an unreleased lightweight\/aero bike which it raced at the Tour Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team uses Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets with CeramicSpeed OSPW pulley wheels and DT Swiss wheels fitted with Continental GP5000 tyres.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"xds-astana-team-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">XDS Astana Team<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29fee-7bad-11f1-af75-cdcb5c2c25e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Will XDS-Astana take a stage at this years race?

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter

id=\"elk-daa27884-7bad-11f1-9ef6-7b5c2835908a\">The Tour de France is the biggest bike race in the world and sees the very best cyclists from the sport&#8217;s biggest teams do battle over 21 stages and, this year, a total distance of 3,333km.<\/p>\n<p>Here we&#8217;ll give you the rundown of the bikes, components and equipment used by all 23 teams competing in the 2026 edition of the race. It can be hard to spot individual bike brands in the peloton while the racing is on, let alone their wheels, tyres and saddles, so we have listed all the individual components and equipment teams are using.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-daa27884-7bad-11f1-9ef6-7b5c2835908a-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">A lot of new bikes and components have been launched since last year, some only in the days before the race, so you can rely on this guide to be your ultimate up-to-date equipment guide for the race.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\"

He and the rest of the team usually ride the Colnago Y1Rs aero bike. For the critical time trial stages, he will have the just-launched TT2, on which he won the Tour de Suisse time trial by 0.04 seconds ahead of Mathieu van der Poel and which comes close to the UCI weight limit.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team Emirates uses Dura-Ace groupsets, plus Enve wheels and handlebars. Notably, the team has used exotic Carbon Ti carbon chainrings and disc rotors to save even more weight. It even swaps out the stock bottom bracket on Pog and Isaac del Toro&#8217;s bikes for a purpose-designed model from Spanish brand Bikone which weighs just 77g and is designed to be more aero.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"uno-x-mobility-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29e0e-7bad-11f1-ba74-d9fc1255e5d3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Dare bikes are all gloss carbon and exposed weave <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul id=\"elk-daa29e7c-7bad-11f1-9f14-3b26e4ac7f2d\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li><strong>Bikes<\/strong>: Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 \/ Dean (TT)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Groupset<\/strong>: Shimano Dura-Ace<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wheels<\/strong>: DT Swiss<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tyres:<\/strong> Continental GP5000 S TR \/ TT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clothing<\/strong>: Fusion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saddles<\/strong>: Prologo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finishing Kit<\/strong>: Ridley \/ Deda<\/li>\n<li><strong>Computers<\/strong>: Garmin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"elk-daa29ef4-7bad-11f1-b7a4-2d804058f231\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Scandi team Uno-X Mobility continues to ride the aero Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 aero bike, although the team also had an unreleased lightweight\/aero bike which it raced at the Tour Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team uses Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets with CeramicSpeed OSPW pulley wheels and DT Swiss wheels fitted with Continental GP5000 tyres.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"xds-astana-team-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">XDS Astana Team<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29fee-7bad-11f1-af75-cdcb5c2c25e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Will XDS-Astana take a stage at this years race?

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter

He and the rest of the team usually ride the Colnago Y1Rs aero bike. For the critical time trial stages, he will have the just-launched TT2, on which he won the Tour de Suisse time trial by 0.04 seconds ahead of Mathieu van der Poel and which comes close to the UCI weight limit.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team Emirates uses Dura-Ace groupsets, plus Enve wheels and handlebars. Notably, the team has used exotic Carbon Ti carbon chainrings and disc rotors to save even more weight. It even swaps out the stock bottom bracket on Pog and Isaac del Toro&#8217;s bikes for a purpose-designed model from Spanish brand Bikone which weighs just 77g and is designed to be more aero.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"uno-x-mobility-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Uno-X Mobility<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29e0e-7bad-11f1-ba74-d9fc1255e5d3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jRbeBRHSoQUGanoPr3usVA-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Dare bikes are all gloss carbon and exposed weave <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul id=\"elk-daa29e7c-7bad-11f1-9f14-3b26e4ac7f2d\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<li><strong>Bikes<\/strong>: Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 \/ Dean (TT)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Groupset<\/strong>: Shimano Dura-Ace<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wheels<\/strong>: DT Swiss<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tyres:<\/strong> Continental GP5000 S TR \/ TT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clothing<\/strong>: Fusion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saddles<\/strong>: Prologo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finishing Kit<\/strong>: Ridley \/ Deda<\/li>\n<li><strong>Computers<\/strong>: Garmin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"elk-daa29ef4-7bad-11f1-b7a4-2d804058f231\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Scandi team Uno-X Mobility continues to ride the aero Ridley Noah Fast 3.0 aero bike, although the team also had an unreleased lightweight\/aero bike which it raced at the Tour Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team uses Shimano Dura-Ace groupsets with CeramicSpeed OSPW pulley wheels and DT Swiss wheels fitted with Continental GP5000 tyres.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"xds-astana-team-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">XDS Astana Team<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-daa29fee-7bad-11f1-af75-cdcb5c2c25e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/gCoWoTcU79PiTPXuQtHc3H-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Will XDS-Astana take a stage at this years race?
