From January 2025, French World Tour team Cofidis will be propelled by Campagnolo components: from the Super Record Wireless groupset to the Bora Ultra WTO wheels.
The news, which comes as the sporting year comes to a close, means 2025 sees Campagnolo return to road cycling’s “top table” thanks to a partnership with one of the World Tour’s best-known men’s and women’s teams: Team Cofidis.
In sharing the news, the company from Vicenza in Italy confirms it has signed an agreement to completely equip the Look Cycle bikes that both the men’s and women’s teams will ride, from the groupset to the wheels.
An agreement, starting on 1 January 2025, and set to run for 4 years, comes following a decision taken by Team Cofidis after the French outfit’s technicians and mechanics spent a protracted period putting Campagnolo’s components through their paces.
The collaboration has seen the Italian company’s technicians work hand in hand with Look’s product managers who, with guidance from the team’s mechanics, have identified the ideal configuration for the bikes.

From 2025 both Cofidis men’s and women’s teams will race Look bicycles fitted with the Super Record Wireless groupset. Amongst strengths identified by riders and mechanics – multiple combinations of cassettes, cranksets and crank arm lengths, all configured to meet the specific needs of each rider.
Supporting the team is the Red Dot Design Award-winning MyCampy 3.0 app, the Italian manufacturer’s “control centre”, which makes it possible to customise the settings, from the screen selection to the gear shifting modes, including the management of the cycle computer.
Wheelsets for every situation
Furthermore, the set-up of the team’s bikes will be completed by the new Bora Ultra WTO wheels, with their distinctive G3 spoke system, designed to minimise the dissipation of any of the power being transferred from the cyclist to the bike.
Depending on the race conditions, the riders will be able to choose either a 45mm or a 60mm rim height, both of which, thanks to the 23mm 2-WAY FIT internal bed, offer excellent aerodynamic performance when paired with the 28mm or 30mm tubeless tyres.
Additionally, the wheel’s CULT bearings aim to provide an ultra-low friction performance gain.
In time trials, the Team Cofidis bikes will feature the Bora Ultra WTO TT disc wheel, reportedly loved by riders for its superior stiffness and lightness – just 930 grams – and, of course, also comes equipped with CULT bearings.
