The start of a new season always brings something to be excited about, and for 2026, it's welcoming Dylan Maples to Pivot Factory Racing.

Coming off a strong 2025 elite downhill season with a podium at Val Di Sole and a top twenty overall result, Dylan adds new momentum to the team as we head into the year ahead.

Joining him is Roger Vieira, who lines up for his first full season with Pivot Factory Racing after joining the program mid-year and earning a win at the Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill event. Together, they bring fresh energy to a roster built to compete at the highest level.

Returning for 2026 are Bernard Kerr and Jenna Hastings, continuing to anchor the Downhill program with experience and proven results across World Cup and Crankworx competition. In Enduro, Morgane Charre strengthens the lineup, bringing proven consistency and the kind of podium-level speed that makes her a threat at every stop on the 2026 calendar. 

With the full lineup set and the latest Pivot Phoenix under the team, Pivot Factory Racing is ready to take on another season of Elite Downhill racing. 

This is the 2026 Pivot Factory Racing Downhill team.

Dylan Maples

We’re excited to welcome Dylan Maples to Pivot Factory Racing following a strong 2025 season in Elite Men’s Downhill, where he finished 19th overall. Over the course of the year, he delivered consistent results across the World Cup calendar while continuing to establish himself at the Elite level.

His 2025 campaign marked a clear step forward in overall standings and race-to-race performance, reflecting steady progression throughout the season rather than a single defining result.

As Dylan enters his first season with Pivot Factory Racing, he brings that momentum with him as the team looks ahead to building on his results and continued growth in Elite Men’s Downhill.

Roger Vieira

We’re stoked to welcome Roger Vieira back for his first full season with Pivot Factory Racing as the team heads into 2026. After joining the program mid-year, Roger finished 46th overall in the Elite Men’s Downhill standings and delivered one of the season’s standout moments with a win at the Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill event.

Those results underline Roger’s ability to perform across a wide range of courses and race formats. As he heads into a complete season with the team, Roger looks to build on that foundation and continue progressing through the Elite Men’s Downhill field.

Jenna Hastings 

Jenna Hastings capped 2025 as one of the strongest competitors in Elite Women’s Downhill. She finished 20th overall in the Elite Women’s standings and claimed victories at three Crankworx Downhill events, demonstrating speed and consistency across a host of demanding courses.

Her 2025 results highlight the impact she has across multiple events and shows her ability to deliver when it matters most. With a new season on the horizon, Jenna looks to bring that same competitive drive and focus to each race of 2026.

Bernard Kerr

Bernard Kerr’s 2025 season was shaped by ups and downs. He began the year with a second-place finish at the Crankworx Summer Series in New Zealand early in the season. Ahead of the 2026 Downhill World Cup Opening Round, a wrist and hand injury forced him to miss several months of racing, ultimately resulting in a 44th-place finish in the Elite Men’s Downhill overall standings.

The season highlighted Bernard’s speed and capability when on form, and his experience continues to make him a core presence in Pivot Factory Racing, contributing both on race weekends and to the development of the program.

Enduro

Morgane Charre

Morgane Charre continues to set the benchmark in Enduro competition. During the 2025 season, she delivered an exceptional run of results, finishing on the podium in five races with two fourth-place finishes, two third-place finishes and a second-place result across the year.

That level of consistency underscores Morgane’s position as one of the most formidable riders in the discipline. Her ability to contend for podiums at nearly every start makes her a constant threat for the top step, regardless of venue or conditions.
