Handsling Sponsors Men's Elite Team JAKROO Handsling Racing

Handsling is proud to confirm its role as title sponsor and official frame supplier for the elite men’s cycling team JAKROO Handsling Racing.

The team will compete on the A1R0evoS, Handsling’s race-proven frameset. An evolution of the A1R0evo, the A1R0evoS is lighter, sharper, and engineered for riders seeking every performance advantage.

From 2026, JAKROO Handsling Racing will target the National Road Series and National Criterium Series, alongside major domestic events and selected UCI 1.2 and 2.2 races in Europe.

The rider roster - featuring National Champions, UCI winners, and standout U23 talent - will be unveiled in the coming days. 

Handsling Director Simon Whiten:  

"We're immensely proud to be headline sponsor and frame supplier to Jakroo Handsling Racing. Handsling was founded ten years ago in order to produce frames for a UK race team, so our roots are very much in the domestic scene.

"Since then Handsling has supported dozens of individual British racers, as well as two UK-based women's elite teams. It's a natural progression for us to move into men's elite racing in the UK, reflecting our growth trajectory as a leading British cycling brand.

"We believe strongly that Promethean Sports has the right management structure and that Jakroo Handsling Racing is the right environment to nurture talent and provide a pathway to the pro ranks. The team will be equipped with the A1R0evoS frame, already proven in elite racing in the UK and the continent. It will be great to see Jakroo Handsling Racing winning races at the highest level of British cycling."

 JAKROO Handsling Racing Team Principal David Streule:

“This project is about building a credible, sustainable route for British talent. The backing from JAKROO and Handsling gives us the foundation to develop riders properly, compete nationally and internationally, and provide a structure that supports long-term progression. This is only the beginning.”

Handsling has built a reputation for producing carbon frames that balance low weight, stiffness, and durability, tailored precisely to each rider’s measurements and style.

Emerging from its own elite racing team, Handsling’s frames were initially ‘team only’ before being offered to the wider market. That same ethos means every Handsling carries genuine race pedigree.

Today, Handsling offers a full range of road, track, gravel, cyclocross, and time trial bikes, crafted from premium carbon fibre and configured to deliver uncompromising performance with a personal touch.
