New for 2011, for example, is "Coldblack", a finishing technology for textiles that reduces heat build-up and at the same time guarantees a sun protection factor of at least 30. Normally, black textiles absorb up to 90% of the heat rays - and heat up the rider accordingly. Textiles with "Coldblack", on the other hand, reflect up to 80 % and therefore remain noticeably cooler. Every detail has its function and is not just a visual factor: pockets and ventilation zips are located where they make sense and do not get in the way. Thanks to "body mapping", various materials are adapted to the different requirements of the body zones. The new shirts and shorts are designed to offer maximum comfort. Work has also been done on the accessories. On the one hand, the collaboration with protective clothing manufacturer "TSG" has been continued and the revised "Superlight 2.0" half-shell helmet has been presented, while the "Automatic Glove" and the "Tool Pouch" hydration pack also feature improved functionality and a new design.
