Limerick’s Oisín O’Callaghan has been announced as the newest member of the Treak Bicycle Factory Racing’s Trek-Unbroken DH team.

The Ardpatrick native has cemented his spot among the mountain biking elites as a member of the team, as he will now compete for the Trek bike team as well as global sport nutrition brand Unbroken for the upcoming UCI Downhill World Cup Season.

Following news that Oisín’s old team had folded, in search of a new team to represent, the young Limerick man says he had his sights firmly set on Trek, which seems like a full-circle moment for him, as his father runs a Trek store.

O’Callaghan has had his name written in Ireland’s history books, becoming Ireland’s first ever Junior World Champion aged just 17 in 2020, a season which also earned him the RTÉ Young Sportstar of the Year award.

Speaking with Trek, Oisín said, “I just felt like everyone there was a good group of people,” O’Callaghan said. “Everyone was doing their jobs. And obviously, the setup was what I was looking for, bike-wise and everything, going back to something that I was familiar with in 2018-2019 when I was on Trek. And to be honest, the minute I hopped on the bike, it felt so comfortable.”

He now joins Trek following a career-best 2025 season where he finished eighth overall in the World Cup standings and reached a career-high world ranking of fourth in July.

The Limerick rider also secured second place at the season opener in Poland, and reclaimed the Irish National Championship title and recorded two Elite race victories in Portugal.

Looking forward to 2026, Oisín told Trek Cycling, “I would say it would be just to try to meet my goals, and try to better last season, and just to appreciate and to experience it with the new team and to give something back to all the people who work behind the scenes.”
