Wow, Its been all G-O from the start this year folks.

So many new things to talk about.

Ok firstly, Road Nationals was a historical marker in Australian cycling seeing GreenEDGE Australia’s only and first PRO-Tour TDF team launching its assult on the Nationals course seeing domination and some great results.

Mr OZRIDERS – James Maebus will be heading to SA next week to mechanic alongside James Nitis Jayco AIS head mechanic, in the UNISA Tour down under cycling team. This is a massive opportunity and James is really excited to offer his services to such an elite field of riders – Who knows we may even see some of the UNISA riders using some OZRIDERS Stealth bar tape during the TDU. Add “OZRIDERSAust” on Facebook to see some great inside goss and behind the sceens at TDU as he will be rubbing shoulders with the best in Australia.

Andrew Blair, aka Blairy has been a long time supporter of OZRIDERS. Over the past few years he has really shown his world class talent travelling the world to race the XCO world cups and even racing the World Championships only a few small notes in his resume. He has really hit the ground running for this years 2011 /2012 XCO MTBA National series. Some local riders report they have “never seen him this fast!!” Blairy has a strong DH background and so was like a kid in a candy store when racing the “fun” techy Perth trails. Andrew chooses to use OZRIDERS 125mm Black High density foamies, and SPEX tubeless tyre sealant.

It’s finally here!!!

I can tell you it is THE best kit you can buy!!!

This cycling kit has been custom designed from the ground up, it is 100% made in Italy from Marcello Bergamo – who make their own high tech Lycra in house! These guys are also trading under another brand which is already well respected in Australia – *Cough Cough… CAPO Forma.

The Jerseys feature full-length quality zips, high tech lightweight Lycra and light mesh side panels to increase airflow and ventilation. The Jerseys are a TREK Leopard / Retro inspiration in design with amazing colors and finish.

Knicks are of course full Bib and brace – with mesh upper for added comfort / ventilation, the cut is like a glove! The legs use compression rather than the “old” silicon grippers under the legs, Chamois is of course the main thing and we use only the best on offer for these custom clothing.

Full-length jerseys are also available which include a light fleece inside with some very nice technical Lycra in use here too!

Lastly we have light wind vests on offer, which are perfect in finish and include a full mesh rear panel to increase heat dispersion.

Contact us NOW for super special once off amazing pricing!

Jersey $95  normal rrp $180!

Long sleeve jersey $110 normal rrp $190!

Wind vest $110 normal rrp $ 190!

Its been a long time coming – but we are due to see the first of our exclusive OZRIDERS Cycling kit.

Cycling kit is always a loaded question – when it comes to what brand is the “Best” to use. After much research and discussion it was decided to use a little know manufacture to all of those of us in Australia called Marcello Bergamo (aka CAPO cycling clothing). Marcello Bergamo has a very long history in cycling clothing and from what we have seen the quality is second to none.

The beautiful thing about their clothing is that they actually manufacture all of there own materials in house and so you will not only be guarenteed quality but the use of some amazing lycra’s that you wont see on every day cycling kits. Product on order includes Jerseys, knicks, Long sleeve jerseys and wind vests!

Exciting times!

P.S:  Thank-you to Scott Liston Designs for turning the sketches and drawings into life! awesome work!

Give yourself an early Christmas Pressie and invest in some beautiful 100% Italian made cycling kit.

Happy trails! Thank-you for reading.
