Five New Year Models Debut
For 2018, Shimano has unveiled several new updated and completely redesigned products in its apparel, bags/packs and eyewear lines for men and women. Across the new product ranges, Shimano continues to utilize proprietary technologies, materials and fit philosophies to benefit riders of various terrain and performance levels. Employing Shimano Fusion Concept to enhance the overall rider experience, system engineering, design, and in-depth knowledge of rider needs combine to create on-the-body products that maximize rider performance, comfort, and efficiency.
Road Performance Collection: The fusion of performance, comfort and efficiency
Specifically designed for warm weather riding, Shimano’s 2018 Performance Collection apparel emphasizes moisture management, ventilation and breathability for optimal rider comfort and efficiency in the heat. Heat Control Ventilation panels use natural airflow to pull hot air from the back, the largest heat sink on the body.
Focusing on delivering long-distance comfort with sophisticated styling, the Evolve Line integrates elegant design with integrated technologies and hidden features. Soft yet durable fabrics, integrated temperature regulation technology, a 3D Anatomic Evolve Chamois, and Discreet Reflectivity combine to deliver performance, efficiency, safety, and refinement for endurance and mixed-surface riders.
Performance Collection in Neon Blue
Constructed with premium fabrics, the Evolve Jersey integrates MicroVents at the chest, armpits and shoulders to deliver airflow in critical areas via a lightweight, aerodynamic solution. Its unique dual-layer Dry Touch structure acts like a built-in base layer, pulling moisture away from the rider and offering comfort without additional bulk. The Evolve Bib Shorts feature the new Evolve chamois for comfort, vibration damping and moisture management. Bonded seam construction adds comfort and a clean look while features such as an integrated storage pocket on the leg and Discreet Reflectivity elements increase convenience and safety. The new Evolve Gloves complete the line and are also designed for long distance comfort.
Following the Evolve Line, the Breakaway Line is comprised of the Breakaway Jersey and Breakaway Bib Shorts. Featuring a modern aesthetic and slim fit design with durable, moisture wicking fabric the Breakaway Line delivers excellent aesthetics, performance, comfort and value.
