Christ Bakker, Managing Director KMC Chain Europe:

“KMC welcomes Nukeproof and is proud to support the brand’s entry into XCO. Following the acquisition of the iconic Nukeproof name by Belgian Cycling Factory, we see this as a powerful statement from Belgium.

This long-standing partnership between KMC and BCF now enters a new phase—one that strengthens all stakeholders within the KMC–Nukeproof MTB XCO Team.”

Jochim Aerts, Managing Director Belgian Cycling Factory:

“We are proud to continue our partnership with KMC and to launch the KMC Nukeproof MTB Racing Team. With Nukeproof fully integrated within BCF, we significantly strengthen our MTB engineering capabilities.

Together with our athletes and technical staff, we aim to translate racing expertise directly into the next generation of Nukeproof products.”

Clive Gosling, Global Brand Director Nukeproof:

“Nukeproof is traditionally associated with the tougher side of mountain biking—enduro, dirt jump and downhill. But we’re incredibly excited to step into XCO at the highest level together with KMC and Bart Brentjens.

We’re looking forward to bringing Nukeproof’s innovative spirit and radical attitude to the XC race scene.”

Bart Brentjens, Team Manager KMC Nukeproof MTB Racing Team:

“The coming years are crucial on the road to Los Angeles 2028. That’s why we’re extremely proud of this long-term partnership with KMC and Nukeproof.

Everything needs to be aligned to achieve top performance—riders, equipment, technology and partners. With this solid foundation, we look forward with confidence to the start of the new season.”

Mission Part 5: the road to LA 2028

Since January 2025, the team has been operating within Mission Part 5, a four-year Olympic cycle towards Los Angeles 2028. For Nukeproof, this partnership goes beyond visibility: it is a platform for development, innovation and performance-driven product evolution, directly fueled by World Cup racing.

It’s not just racing.

It’s an attitude.
