Having announced its partnership roster for the 2026 season, Italian apparel specialist Alé has expanded its presence in the off-road cycling market. This year, the brand will support several leading teams in mountain bike (MTB) and gravel disciplines, providing technical apparel from its PR-S 1000 line.
For the 2026 season, Alé has entered into a new collaboration with the Scott Racing Team, a prominent name in Cross-Country Marathon (XCM). The brand also continues its existing partnerships with the Marconi Racing Team and the Torpado Factory Team within the Italian MTB circuit.
Alessia Piccolo, CEO of APG, the company behind Alé, said “The partnership with Scott Racing Team represents a strategically valuable project for Alé. Cross-Country Marathon is a discipline that pushes to the extreme concepts that are fundamental to us – endurance, long-lasting comfort and technical reliability.”
In gravel racing, Alé is supporting Team Undrafted and Mentecorpo Bianchi Pro Team. Both squads have already commenced their international campaigns at the Santa Vall race in Girona, Spain. These teams are scheduled to compete across an international calendar of major gravel events throughout the remainder of the 2026 season.
All partnered teams will wear the PR-S 1000 collection, which is developed through collaboration with professional teams. The line utilises ‘Body Mapping’ technology, which involves the strategic placement of different fabrics to optimise aerodynamics and ventilation. The garments also incorporate antistatic carbon yarns designed to maintain stability and comfort during high-intensity efforts.
Based in Verona, Italy, Alé specializes in high-performance cycling apparel. The company notes that it uses its professional partnerships as a laboratory for technical innovation, testing products in demanding race conditions before making them available to the wider market.
Alessia Piccolo added “With these partnerships, Alé confirms a clear vision for 2026: to stand alongside those who embody the authentic essence of off-road riding, turning every race into a laboratory for innovation and development.”
