Team Sunweb have today presented their 2018 race kit, which retains its prominent, recognisable two-stripe design and features the latest fabric technologies.
For the fifth consecutive year the kit retains what the team describes as its two “Keep Challenging” stripes, continuing its reference to the team’s DNA.
According to the statement from the team: “the left stripe represents the continuous development of the riders both as individuals and as athletes, and the team as a whole. The right stripe represents the creation and continual enhancement of an elite sports environment.”
The 2018 design also features the new “S” or “Spark” of Team Sunweb’s title partner, Sunweb, on both sleeves and sides, and on the back of each jersey.
Once again, the Giant race clothing is manufactured by Etxeondo and aerodynamics and safety are two key considerations for the clothing design.
Testing takes place in the research facilities and wind tunnels at the Technical University of Delft to help reduce drag. Etxeondo’s protective shorts by DSM Dyneema have undergone further advancements to the fibre in 2018 for increased comfort and safety on the bike.
The newly crowned team time trial champions from both Team Sunweb’s men’s and women’s programs will showcase the corresponding UCI logo on the team’s 2018 race kit, representing the prestigious victories from the Bergen World Championships.
Team Sunweb’s CEO Iwan Spekenbrink said: “We are pleased to present our new kit for 2018. It is with pride that we continue to showcase our deeply embedded “Keep Challenging” stripes as the jersey’s key design feature. We are certain that the technological features from our improved kit give us the competitive advantage that we are continuously searching for.”
