Riding Into 2026: X5CAPE's Race Season, Team Riders & Custom Kit

The 2026 race season is here — and at X5CAPE, we're more fired up than ever. From the trails of the Peak District to the race circuits across the UK, our team riders are out there pushing limits in technical mountain bike clothing built to perform. Here's what we've been up to, who's flying the flag, and how your club or team can ride in custom X5CAPE kit this season.

Our Team Riders: Representing X5CAPE on the Trail

We're incredibly proud of the athletes who wear X5CAPE colours. Leading the charge this season is Isaac Eastlake, whose commitment to the sport and progression on the bike embodies everything we stand for as a brand — grit, performance, and community. Alongside Isaac, our growing roster of team riders are competing across enduro, XC, and trail disciplines throughout 2026.

Being a family-run brand (hi, it's Laura and Ian here 👋), we know every rider by name. That's not something you get from the big brands. Our team riders aren't just ambassadors — they're part of the X5CAPE family, and their feedback directly shapes the kit we build.

Built for the Trails: Technical MTB Clothing That Performs

Whether you're pinning it on a race stage or grinding out a long club ride, your kit needs to work as hard as you do. Our mountain bike clothing UK range is engineered for real riding conditions — breathable, durable, and designed with input from riders who actually race in it.

From our Ascension longsleeve kits to our technical jerseys and jackets, every piece is built to handle whatever the British weather (and the trail) throws at you. And with our 90-day quality guarantee and crash repair cover, you can ride with confidence knowing we've got your back — literally.

Custom Kit for Clubs & Teams

One of the things we're most passionate about at X5CAPE is helping clubs and teams ride together in kit they're proud of. We're already working with some brilliant clubs this season — including Pilgrim Flyers, Ruff Ryders, Green Jersey Crew, Hardies Cycles, Bosden Farm, and Manchester Mountain Bikers — and we'd love to add your club to that list.

Our custom MTB jersey and apparel service makes it easy to get your club or team looking sharp on the trail. Whether you need 5 kits or 50, we handle the design process from start to finish. No minimum order headaches, no generic templates — just proper, premium affordable mountain bike apparel with your branding on it.

We also offer wholesale options for bike shops, coaching setups, and race teams looking to stock or supply X5CAPE gear. Get in touch to find out more about our custom and wholesale offering.
