In cycling, winning a championship title doesn’t end the day, or even the week, after crossing the line. It’s a year-long celebration.
These days, national, regional and world champions are honoured not only with the jersey that signifies their status, but with a full suite of accessories and, increasingly, a race bike wrapped in a custom colourway to match.
After EF Education–Oatly chose not renew her contract after 2025, Jackson found a new home with UCI Women’s ProTeam St Michel–Préférence Home–Auber93.
But make no mistake: she’s not lining up just to guide others. The 37-year-old is chasing lofty ambitions of her own.
“[Retirement] wasn’t an option for me. Just ’cause one team says no, it doesn’t mean it has to be over. I still think I can win races, and I still enjoy the chaos,” shesaid.
Let’s have a closer look.

Jackson’s team bike is built around the latest generation SuperSix Evo. The fifth-gen is an evolution rather than a revolution, with a very similar silhouette to its predecessor. But look closer, and you’ll find some meaningful refinements that make it a dream to ride, according to our tech writer Aaron Borrill.
You can read Borrill’s review here, but the TL;DR version is this: it’s lighter and faster (in fact, it’s the lightest disc-brake road bike Cannondale has built yet); it has a new front end, including cockpit; it’s UDH-equipped; and, notably, compatible only with electronic groupsets.
Jackson’s special-edition SuperSix Evo LAB 71 comes with a SRAM RED AXS groupset, Mavic Cosmic SLR 45 hoops wrapped in 30mm Michelin Power Cup tyres, a Prologo saddle, Look pedals, and Cannondale’s proprietary seatpost and SystemBar Road integrated cockpit.

Paint-wise, Jackson’s national champion SuperSix Evo leans fully into Canadian identity with a crisp white-to-red fade across the frame. Scattered maple leaf graphics sweep through the front end before intensifying into a deeper red rear triangle.
Cannondale branding pops along the downtube, with the “LAB71” mark on the seat tube identifying the bike’s top-tier spec. A personal touch sits on the top tube, too, with the phrase “Don’t think just dance” reminding Jackson to dance her way to victory as she did at the 2023 Paris-Roubaix.
Her bike, as photographed, was specced with 30mm tyres, but the SuperSix Evo has clearance for 32mm (even some 34mm tyres) for those cobbled Classics she loves so much.
