2. Year & Background Story

Design Origin & Timeline

Cycling Culture Behind the Design

• The “Hell of the North”: Paris-Roubaix is known as the “Hell of the North” for its brutal cobblestone sectors and harsh conditions. Demeyer’s win was a defining moment in the race’s history.
• Underdog Hero: Demeyer, riding for the relatively small Tista team, beat cycling legends like Roger De Vlaeminck to claim the victory, making him a fan favorite.

3. Related Riders & Iconic Achievements

• Marc Demeyer: The Belgian rider won the 1976 Paris-Roubaix in dramatic fashion, outsprinting De Vlaeminck in the velodrome. The race was later documented in the film A Sunday in Hell, cementing his place in cycling folklore.

Product introduction:

• Italian high-elastic honeycomb mesh elastic band, 3D three-dimensional weaving technology, adaptive shoulder and back curve
  
• Italian 3D ergonomic cushion，ultra-light foam shock absorption in the front, hollow diversion and heat dissipation in the middle, and rear support reinforcement，8-hour continuous riding test, sciatic pressure peak reduced by 47%, antibacterial rate in humid environment 99.2%
• 3D knitted fabric (78% cool nylon/22% Lycra spandex)                                                            

• Fabric: The outer protective layer features a waterproof and windproof coating, crucial for resisting harsh weather conditions (cold wind, rain, snow). It effectively blocks cold wind penetration, preventing heat loss. The fabric surface undergoes a durable water-repellent treatment, forming an invisible protective film that easily handles light rain and road splashes; water droplets bead up and roll off, keeping you dry.

• The inner insulating layer innovatively combines high-quality merino wool, effectively locking in body heat even when wet. More importantly, the soft, skin-friendly feel, moisture-wicking properties, and natural antibacterial characteristics of wool ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable during long rides, eliminating the cold and sticky feeling common in winter cycling.
