EVOLVE

MORE OPTIONS WITH LESS IMPACT.

Our second-generation MTB gear gives you another reason to be excited about your next season in the mountains. We created this robust MTB collection to be less seasonal, so you can get more out of what you love to wear. We also designed our latest MTB gear to deliver as good or better fabric performance as before but with less impact on the environment. All fabrics for our new SS23 MTB jerseys are made in Europe to shorten the distance between supplier and finisher. We also prioritize responsible sourcing decisions like choosing durable recycled materials, apparel components, and fluorine-free
water-repellent treatments. Every time you don a piece of Shimano MTB gear, we hope you'll feel as great as you'll look.
