dhb AERON LAB RACELINE
Finally, we have the Aeron LAB Raceline jersey, bib shorts and speedsuit. Ever cycled along and heard the flapping of clothes? That’s aural recognition of physical drag; in other words, your cycle apparel is slowing you down. dhb’s Aeron LAB Raceline range sits at the opposite end of the streamlined spectrum, designed to disrupt airflow and carve through the air more economically. Both the jersey and bib shorts are compressive – in fact, many riders say it feels like a second skin – to raise the aerodynamic stakes. Highlights include the cutting-edge performance, aero sleeve fabric, which is also applied to the bib shorts; laser-cut sleeves and hem for a comfortable, close fit; and an integrated gripper in the bibs. The total race look and aerodynamic edge comes courtesy of the Raceline speedsuit, which combines the cutting-edge materials and technologies of the jersey and bib shorts in one fast suit. In Michael Hutchinson’s excellent cycling book Faster, the legendary time-triallist suggests close-fitting cycle apparel can make a greater difference than a time-trial bike. dhb’s stunning, stylish and highperformance Aeron LAB range is available for men and women, and is already showcasing its innovative DNA on a global platform – Canyon Eisberg’s Harry Tanfield wore Aeron LAB apparel en route to winning stage one of the recent Tour de Yorkshire. In short, if you want aerodynamics, speed, minimal weight and comfort, you’ve hooked up with the right performance peloton.
