""I'm incredibly excited to become part of such a renowned racing family. It was a pleasant surprise, but I firmly believe that every closed door opens a new opportunity," Höll said about signing with Commencal. "Working with COMMENCAL has always been a dream of mine; their racing spirit is unmatched. I look forward to continuing my legacy in the downhill world on a COMMENCAL bike. The moment I first rode one, I was astonished by how planted and stable it felt, yet still playful when required.""
"Höll is joining the Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres team, and will be riding alongside Lisa Baumann, Bode Burke, Antoine Pierron, Austin Dooley, Matilda Melton, and Jack Piercy for 2026. However, it is still early in the season for a final roster to be set, and the team will drop the full rider lineup sometime in January."
"This is a massive move for Höll and a significant advantage for Commencal Bikes, which already has a star-studded roster on both the Commencal Muc-Off and Schwalbe by Les Orres teams."
