WE ARE ACCEL!ACCEL Cycling is a Junior development program with the mission to invest in youth cycling. The primary goal for the team is to find and develop the next batch of top American Mountain biking talent.
Our main focus will be on the West Coast with a special emphasis on Southern Utah. We will be participating in racing, clinics, community service, and the most important thing of all - FUN! |
The ACCEL Cycling team is a mountain bike team (devo team) consisting of Jr racers, 12-19 years old. Our goal is to help bridge the gap from young high school racers to the college and Pro ranks. Of course along the way we know we'll be privileged enough to work with some possible Olympians and world Champions!

While the USA is the birth place of mountain biking, it has been a long time since the stars and stripes were a dominate force on the World Cup cross country racing. Due to the inception and implementation of NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) the U.S. is primed for the biggest growth in top young MTB athletes than ever before. With this growth, we feel it is necessary to give young racers the proper training, guidance, and race experience beyond the high school league.
