Melanie Liu

Melanie brings a unique blend of endurance and explosive speed to the 2026 PWR Racing roster. A Monterey Park native, she first proved her grit by conquering the 545-mile AIDS/LifeCycle ride, a feat that laid the foundation for her transition into competitive racing.

Since entering the SoCal crit scene, Melanie has become a consistent podium threat. Her 2025 season was highlighted by a 3rd place podium at the CBR series and two consecutive 4th place finishes at the prestigious Manhattan Beach Grand Prix. Whether she’s battling at the Eldo Park series or testing her lungs at the Giro di San Francisco, Melanie’s "big engine" and tactical vision make her a rider to watch in every breakaway.
