Fort Collins based HART Accel Pro Cycling opened its 2026 season with a week long training camp in St. George, Utah in January. The camp brought the team together for early season training and served as the launch point for a new video series that will follow the squad throughout the year.

The team debuted Ride HART, a YouTube series that gives a behind the scenes look at life on the U.S. pro off road racing circuit. The series explores what success looks like in professional mountain bike racing while highlighting the training, travel, and community that shape a season. Throughout the year the team will be riding Niner bikes at events across the country, from World Cup races to local trail rides in their hometowns.

Viewers can get to know the riders by following the series, which features team members Jeremy Norris, Isabella Robles, Samuel Elson, and Sydney Neilson as they prepare for and compete in races throughout the season.

The team will be racing aboard Niner’s RKT 9 RDO this year, a cross country race platform built around a 120/100 mm CVA suspension design designed for modern XCO courses.

Several HART riders recently returned from two weeks of racing at the Puerto Rico MTB Cup, where they opened their international race calendar against a deep field of elite riders.

Isabella Robles finished 22nd in XCO (cross country Olympic) and 20th in XCC (Cross-country Short Track).
Samuel Elson placed 33rd in XCO and 18th in XCC.
Jeremy Norris finished 40th in XCO and 30th in XCC.

Readers can learn more about the team in the 2026 YGR Team Update, follow their season on the Ride HART YouTube Channel, and keep up with race updates on HART Cycling on Instagram.
