We put all of our top tier garments through vigorous testing with world class athletes. By teaming up with researchers, biomechanical engineers and by taking direct feedback from teams to perfect the comfort and performance of our range. The result of our meticulous development is a range that can be worn to World Tour victory. There can be no greater kudos. The engineering we put into the Apex family filters down into the rest of our tiered range. The exact kit that these athletes wear are available as the core part of our range for all our customers to wear.
Our research and design team innovate constantly to deliver optimized performance. We launched the industry's first zip-less jersey in 2018. Our Elite Zipless jersey provides the rider with a perfect tapered aerodynamic cut whilst also pushing material benefits to new heights. This jersey's consolidated front panel reduces the risk of collar flap and the potential for lost watts. The tapered aero lines and cooling qualities of its CS Agile™ mesh fabric construction worked perfectly to assist Team UAE’s Dan Martin to win the Mur De Bretagne (Stage 6 - Tour De France ‘18) .
Champion System chamois are some of the first to use a new technology founded and patented by pioneering Italian chamois specialist Dr Pad™. Their cutting-edge technology uses a polyurethane foam base, lazer-cut to an ergoform which delivers consistent cushioning with 100% breathability. The fabric microfibres have a bacteriostatic treatment to preserve he skin’s natural bacterial flora and prevents the development of potentially harmful bacteria. Worn in the Tour De France there is no better test for comfort and durability.
Innovations in materials science drive continual improvements in the performance of our garments. In Triathlon we introduced CS Swift™ hydrophobic technology that literally repels water from our Apex trisuits. In the swim, the fabric pushes water past the body reducing drag. As you come out of the water the fabric instantaneously dries to improve thermoregulation and comfort on the bike and run.
In pursuit of the fastest Olympic speedsuit, our partners at Cycling New Zealand asked us to innovate a skinsuit that would break boundaries in aerodynamics at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Collaborating with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology we applied our patented and exclusive latex layering technology in the construction of the Aero Project Speed Suit. It generates astonishing cda, watts and time savings on the track. It caused a real stir at it's debut Olympic showcase.
