The 2023 downhill world cup is upon us. This also means silly-season and team rumors have come to an end as the UCI officially released the full list of teams competing in the 2023 UCI Mountain Bike World Cups.

25 different bike manufacturers operate official factory teams this year. Commencal has by far the most with no less than 6! Both 2022 overall winners Amaury Pierron and Camille Balanche are riding Commencal again this year. Canyon isn’t far behind either with 3 factory-supported teams. Trek has two top-tier teams with World Champ Vali Höll in one and former World Champ Reece Wilson in the other.

The rarest bike in the entire world cup circuit has got to be raced by the Frameworks Racing Team. More specifically by the only team rider and designer himself, Neko Mullaly. Lapierre is back with a DH effort and legend Sam Hill has reserved his spot to maybe race some World Cups again.

Here is the full list of all teams, listed in order of last year’s success:
