Beyond Traditional Sponsorship
The partnership extends beyond conventional sponsorships. Subaru will actively support two of Orbea’s premier international mountain bike teams: the Orbea FOX Factory Team and Orbea FMD Racing. These teams compete at the highest levels in cross-country and downhill events, respectively. Subaru’s involvement aims to bolster the teams’ performance and visibility in major competitions, highlighting shared values such as perseverance, innovation, and a passion for adventure.
