Maloja Pushbikers (UCI Code: PBS) is a German professional cycling team founded in 2014 around team manager Christian Grasmann.

Grasmann, who was also active as a cyclist until the end of 2018, initially focused on track cycling before the organization cooperated with an Austrian UCI Continental team in road cycling in 2018 under the name WSA Pushbikers. In 2019, the team split and the Austrian team continued to ride under the name WSA KTM Graz. In 2020, the squad became a UCI Continental team for the first time in its current form.[1]

Its title sponsor, Maloja, is a German clothing manufacturer, specialising in outdoor sports.
