Allebike Factory Team Shapes the Future of Swedish Cycling Elite

Allebike Factory Team accelerates its investment towards 2025 with a sharp focus on the international scene.

The team, founded in 2024 as a development of Allebike's established mountain bike team from 2014, is built on a deep conviction: young, promising cyclists deserve a platform to reach their full potential.

During its debut year, the team made a powerful impression both nationally and internationally. With double Swedish Championship gold medals, impressive climbs in the world rankings, and significant personal development for the young talents, they laid the foundation for an even more ambitious effort in 2025.

Now the team expands as Edvin Elofsson and Oscar Lind are joined by three new cyclists: Anton Unger, Tove Dandenell, and Markus Karlsson. Alexander Vincent Blomqvist, one of the team's founders, expresses his enthusiasm: "It feels incredibly fun to expand the team with new names we believe in! The entire company and our partners are eager to give these cyclists a chance to reach their goals both nationally and internationally."

Anton Unger, 18 years old from Falun, has already shown his potential with a fifth place at the World Championships in Andorra and a third place in the Junior World Series in Nove Mesto during 2024. As an XCO specialist, he describes himself as persistent, calm, and technical. "I like it when it's technical and tough," Anton says about his discipline.

Markus Karlsson, also 18 years old, from Floda, has impressed with an overall victory in the Borlänge tour and a sixth place in the junior series in Haiming during 2024. He looks forward to growing into the U23 class and collecting UCI points during 2025. Markus sees the team as a stepping stone to larger competitions in Europe.

Tove Dandenell, 20 years old from Gothenburg, has already made an impression in the U23 class with a championship title and Swedish Championship silver in XCC. She is driven by XCO's versatility and highlights her endurance and mental strength as her main assets. For 2025, Tove aims to translate her World Cup experience into even better results and dreams of defending her U23 title.

Common to the three new cyclists is their positive view of the future of mountain biking in Sweden. They share a passion for the sport and an ambition to contribute to its visibility and development. With their different strengths and experiences, they hope to inspire and drive the sport forward, both nationally and internationally.

Allebike Factory Team creates an environment where these young talents can grow together. Anton summarizes the team spirit: "We are a good group and I enjoy it. It's important. If you enjoy yourself and have fun and help each other, you develop." This sentiment is shared by his teammates.

A winning team is built on strong partnerships. We are incredibly grateful to have with us the well-known construction giant Serneke, the high-class component manufacturer Shimano, and the established car dealer Börjessons Bil – all three of whom have been with us for many years and who continue to ramp up their investment for 2025. We are also proud to continue our collaboration with Hestra Handsken, Alpe Eyewear, Lazer, Vittoria, PRO, DT Swiss and Umara, who provide the team with the personal equipment, components, energy and expertise required to perform at the highest level. Together, we create the best conditions for our cyclists to succeed.

Extra fun this year is presenting our new team partner Cyan Racing, who through their long experience in motorsport and racing share our commitment to innovation and development. We look forward to a rewarding collaboration where we can learn from each other and together raise the bar even further!

With this expanded investment and a strong team of young, dedicated cyclists, Allebike Factory Team is ready to make an impression both nationally and internationally in 2025. Their focus on long-term development, combined with a passion for the sport, bodes well for the future of Swedish mountain biking.
