NEW 2017
Resistance redefines MTB apparel and gives riders the opportunity to select the precise performance and protection needs for each ride. Progressive fabrics and materials have been combined and integrated into Resistance apparel to increase the level of protection against impacts, penetration, friction, UV and abrasion. The type and level of mountain bike riding has changed significantly in recent years. Speed, technicality, distances have all increased, which has naturally placed greater demands on bikes, riders and equipment. To meet these greater demands, whilst still ensuring increased performance and protection, we wanted to look deeper and re-consider every angle of mountain biking; to create apparel for mountain bikers that is equally at home on the trail with friends as it is competing in World Cup races. The result is Resistance – an MTB range which embodies our mission ‘to do the best we can to possibly save lives and reduce the consequences of accidents.’ Resistance has been developed in conjunction with some of the world’s foremost textile engineers. Progressive fabrics and materials have been combined in the garments to withstand many of the hazards associated with mountain biking, impacts, penetration, friction, UV and abrasion. By using fabrics with a variety of properties and benefits, we have achieved a high level of protection without compromising performance. Mountain biking is diverse, the needs of one rider will differ greatly from another. Resistance has been created around the core mountain bike categories, downhill, enduro and cross country, which all have specific needs and requirements. Flexibility, fit and preference is essential when you ride your bike. Days on the trail or racing are likely to have different needs, which is where Resistance Pro supports riders when their focus needs to be sharp and uncluttered, knowing they can rely on the ultimate in MTB performance and protection.
