EDITORIAL
Aerodynamics, biomechanics, muscle compression,… Today all of these terms have become common items. Today nobody can deny the fact that sports have become an exact science. It wasn’t always like that. Back in 1984, when we started with the development of our biomechanic bike fitting system, we couldn’t assume that cycling ant technology would go hand in hand in such a resolute manner. Ever since the day the biomechanic bike fitting system was introduced in the pro peloton, Bio-Racer has become a hot item in the world of cycling. Since then, cycling has evolved, and Bio-Racer evolved, too. Thanks to us, different new technologies have been introduced. The use of Lycra, the first seamless cycling pad, seamless aerosuits, all of these innovations are successfully used by cyclists all over the world. Innovating is in our genes. It’s that constant impulse that makes us good at what we do: improving your cycling performance.
TODAY NOBODY CAN DENY THE FACT THAT SPORTS HAVE BECOME AN EXACT SCIENCE.

INNOVATION
Thanks to the cooperation with different universities and professional cycling teams, and thanks to the experience we draw from other sports such as speedskating, we have built up a lot of expertise in the fields of aerodynamics, comfort and muscle compression. Moreover, Bio-Racer is the inventor of the biomechanic bike fitting system, which we use to detect problems and find new solutions.

BIO-RACER BIKE FITTING SYSTEM The bike fitting system is the core of our innovation. Since 1984, more than 500000 cyclists (pro’s, amateurs, men and women, in different types of cycling) worldwide have been tested and positioned correctly on their bikes. Thanks to this large knowledge database, we can develop new clothing models and cuts.

WOMEN CYCLING FASHION
When cycling clothing for women is being developed, the sewing patterns and designs are often derived from patterns for men. However, the anatomy of a woman is fundamentally different. That’s why we went further in our development. We’ve developed completely new sewing patterns, and those patterns where thoroughly tested the top in women’s professional cycling, in different cycling disciplins and under different circumstances. The direct result of this is our new Superior Line. The same innovations, finally translated into an anatomically superior ladies line.

GAMEX
An elastic fabric made of polyester filament microfibre threads. Windproof, water-repellent, very breathable, light and flexible, stretch fabric and easy to maintain.
WINDBLOCK

This fabric was developed by Bio-Racer. It keeps your body dry and gives a comfortable feeling during physical exertion. Additional benefits: • fast removal of bodily fluid • increased air permeability • absorbs little fluid • extra softness prevents irritations • machine washable and quick drying • mould and smell resistant
COOL LIGHT 100
Bio-Racer developed a lightweight cycling jersey for the Olympic road and mountain bike races and World Championships. The Belgian and Dutch national team wears this jersey. With great success! Various Olympic medals and world titles have already been won in this shirt. For these jerseys we use Cool Lite 100: an extremely light version of Coolmax. Microperforations create a larger breathable surface. This way it’s possible to create shirts of less than 100 grams. No less than 70% lighter than a normal cycling jersey!
INSULATION
QUADRI
A new variety of textile which combines monoelastic properties (with a positive effect on the fit of the shirt) to an exceptional removal of perspiration (divided wrongly in this leaflet). Furthermore the fabric is soft and comfortable.
The Insulation thread has an insulating effect, which keeps the body extra warm. High breathable capacity: the perspiration will be removed faster. Quick-drying polyester surface, soft and comfortable.
WINTER WINDBLOCK
HUSKY
Functionality and comfort complement each other in this fabric. This fleece-fabric is made with microfine trevira polyester threads. Properties: warm, moisture transporting and regulating, light to wear, easy to maintain
BIO-RACER AIRSTREAM 5
When it’s really cold, you need Winter Windblock. A system with 3 layers protects the body against cold and wind. The inner layer is 100% polyester. The fleece membrane offers outstanding protection against cold and rain and breathes as well. The upper layer not only retains its shape and its colour, but it also provides the required insulation during cold days.

AEROCOAT
In skating one hundredth of a second can make the difference between winning and losing. That’s why Bio-Racer finishes skating outfits with AEROCOAT. This is an aerodynamic coating in which the structure is the same as carbon fibre. This ultramodern coating/fabric stimulates muscle compression. This makes it possible to keep up intensive physical exertion for longer periods.
ISOFILM
Isofilm is één van de beste isolerende textielmembranen. Stoffen die bewerkt zijn met het Isofilm-membraan zijn waterproof, windproof, bi-elastisch en admenend. Bovendien is Isofilm makkelijk in onderhoud. Dankzij deze eigenschappen is Isofilm een efficiënt en comfortabel alternatief.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This elastic fleece is extremely suitable for chilly to even cold days. The roughened inside provides excellent insulation. The polyamide threads offer optimal fluid regulation.
TRANSOTEX - THERMASTAT
The insulating effect of the threads keeps the body extra warm. A roughened Thermastat layer on the inside reinforces this effect. This results in very high breathable capacity with a fast removal of perspiration. Quick-drying and exceedingly strong polyester surface.
