Italian helmet manufacturer KASK has announced its new partnership with pro mountain bike team Cannondale Factory Racing.
Over the next two seasons, KASK will equip each rider in the team with its flagship helmets as they compete on the UCI MTB World Cup cross-country circuit and other prestigious events across the globe.
From KASK Valegro, featuring a lightweight design and internal ventilation, through to the Elemento, a premium all-rounder, the squad will also rely on the Utopia Y, designed for when aerodynamics are key.
The German-based team boasts an impressive roster of athletes, striking a blend of youth and experience. The standout name is Swiss legend Jolanda Neff, who boasts Olympic and World Championships gold medals amongst her glittering list of achievements along with three overall UCI MTB World Cup titles and four European crowns.
Alongside her, the squad features junior & U23 World Champion Charlie Aldridge (Great Britain), reigning U23 World Champion Luca Martin (France), three-time national champion Ana Santos (Portugal) and Canadian national champion Cole Punchard (Canada).
Marco Galli, KASK Cycling Marketing Director, said “We are thrilled to partner with Cannondale Factory Racing. The team has long been a leading force in the mountain biking world and their passion for innovation, relentless pursuit of excellence, and legacy of pushing boundaries in the sport match our own.
“We are proud to equip their world-class athletes with helmets that deliver unparalleled protection, comfort, and performance. Together, we look forward to conquering new challenges and setting benchmarks for success.”
Phil Dixon, Cannondale Factory Racing Team Manager, said “We’re really looking forward to this new partnership with KASK for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Their impressive range of helmets will support our athletes across all the disciplines in which we compete. KASK has a storied history in our sport, and we are excited to join the family.”
