Whether that’s gravel, adventure, or mountain biking, multi-day bike-packing or afternoon training to get ready for the next expedition.”

The new collection includes 31 styles for men and women and features advanced technologies and fine-tuned designs to provide ultimate protection and comfort on any off-road bike ride.

“Off-road biking adventures require immense versatility in apparel. One moment you’re too hot, then too cold, it’s windy and you’re always dealing with moisture. We have the knowledge and experience of managing these conditions through many years of creating the finest mountaineering, climbing, mountain running, and skiing kit. We’ve taken this knowledge and combined it with a finely engineered on-bike fit to enable fun, adventure, and exploration. We know that bikers wear Rab. And that mountain people bike. Our new Cinder range is the logical progression,” Tim Fish, Design Director at Rab, explained.
 
The new Rab Cinder off-road bike collection will be on sale in selected stores by spring 2023. Check for updates on the range from Rab's website.
