The line consists of two technical long sleeve riding jerseys, the Floral LS and Race Jersey LS; two short sleeve riding jerseys, the Floral SS and Trio Jersey SS; the performance all-mountain Ridge Shorts; and the Ridge DH pants designed for race days, days out on the trails and beyond.

Designed to make a day in the saddle more comfortable

Each piece is brimming with bike specific features designed to make a day in the saddle more comfortable, safer and of course more stylish. Jersey’s are built from a quick drying, moisture wicking stretch fabric with zonal airflow panels for freedom of movement and a cool comfortable ride even when putting the pedal to the metal. This is complemented by both race heritage design on the Race Jersey and Trio, while the Floral SS and LS feature a subtle pattern inspired by rain forests.

The Floral Jerseys come in a short- and long-sleeved version and both rock a cool rain forest inspired pattern print.

“Most of the time when designing prints I’m inspired by nature,” says Heida. “Rain forests feel exotic, are so beautiful and diverse, home to hundreds of plant and tree species, and they are also essential to our planet but endangered. We all need to be more aware and protect and respect nature our planet. For us mountain bikers, our playground is the nature, and that’s why I felt this was the right path to go with the print.”

Light and stretchy with a great comfortable fit for a long day in the saddle: TSG’s new women mountain bike shorts and pants.

Both the Ridge Pant and Ridge Short are built from a toughened 4-way stretch fabric for freedom and flex, with double stitching adding to their durability for seasons worth of riding. A high-waist with an inner anti-slip band and extra stretch back yolk provide secure fit and comfort in and out of the saddle while a race-ratchet closure delivers a confident fit with on-the-fly adjustability.

We wanted to work with a women designer that rides bikes as well

Designed specifically with the needs of women bikers in mind Heida Birgisdottir was a logical choice to design the collection. As well as having over 20 years experience designing women’s riding gear – including for her own label Nikita, the vanguard of women’s snowboard gear – Heida is a dab hand on a bike as well as boards.

“Throughout my carrier as a designer I’ve also been the end customer for the product,” says Heida. “I would never feel true to myself as a designer or to the brand if I wasn’t involved in the sport that I’m designing for.”

When we decided, we wanted to work on a women line, Heida was the first person who came to our mind. We didn’t want a man designing it because of the female specific cuts and fit. So an expert like Heida was the obvious choice.

The jerseys are made from a very light, quick drying, breathable fabric.

Like all TSG gear this new women’s bike line is on the cutting edge of performance and functionality with style an evident nice addition to the package. It is also lighter and more stretchy than the men’s editions, perfectly tailored to the female shredders who are going to be blasting around in it.

The Women’s Bike Apparel line has now hit the trails, so keep your eyes pealed as it will fly out of the shops as fast as TSG rider Kara Beal points it down hill.

Great to perform in, Kara is shredding down the trail.

I. Introducing a revolutionary new look in urban bike helmets

Our brand-new Geo is a first in urban bike helmet design. We sketched the helmet in collaboration with Dr. Holger Hoffmann, the founder of Berlin-based paper art company, Papertrophy. Its angular silhouette references the defining geometric forms of Papertrophy’s award-winning creations, producing an urban bike helmet that it is safe as it is design savvy.

The Geo reshapes the sphere of head protection with its polygonal silhouette.

The Geo’s In-Mold construction incorporates a ten hole ventilation system for ultimate climate control plus Dial-Fit system adjustability and removable sizing inserts that provide hassle-free customizable fit and comfort. A removable LED rear light and reflective detailing add to the GEO’s visibility on the road, making this the ultimate cool two-wheeler’s head protection for city riders.

Stay visible with a removable LED light and reflective details.

Initiated by our late CEO and product developer Ruedi Herger, we had the idea of an angular helmet design in our heads for a while but couldn’t bring it to life on our own. So when we discovered Papertrophy’s creations, we immediately got in touch with Holger to collaborate in the creation of this unique looking helmet.

II. Minimalist polygonal structure creating a noble surface texture

Papertrophy was founded in Berlin, in 2015, by Dr. Holger Hoffmann and makes paper animal trophies, that are delivered as pre-cut and pre-folded kits. The buyer then glues them together to make their own deer, elephant or rhinos, staying true to the company motto: “don’t shoot them – glue them”. The products’ look is inspired by old-fashioned animal trophies, but transformed into timeless animal-friendly form, with their minimalist polygonal structure creating a noble surface texture.

The Geo helmet and Papertrohy share the same minimalist polygonal structure.

Papertrophy has been awarded a host of international awards for its design, including the iFDesign Award 2016 and the German Design Award 2017.

And TSG are so excited to bring this design pedigree to the streets in the form of the Geo. This unique urban cycling helmet is certified to CE EN 1078 and CPSC specifications and is a key product in the 2022 summer collection.
