One of our favorite pieces of kit pictured here in the 2020 livery is the Echelon Short Sleeve Suit. It’s great for both long training days and even racing. The shorts are integrated into the top with the feel of a slick skin suit but it’s more comfortable than wearing a jersey and bib shorts. The pockets expand and can carry enough food and essentials to power you for 100’s of miles. How do we know? Because THE FAST FORWARD Echelon kit was worn to victory in the famous Dirty Kanza 200 mile gravel race by Amber Auer in 2017.
What’s up with the sponsor logos on some of the kit? Over the years we’ve had some amazing partnerships that supported both the website our community and the cycling team. Our kit can be mixed and matched year to year so feel free to buy whatever colorway or kit style you like best. Even though we are no longer exclusively a race team the prior sponsors are products that we still stand behind today and were a critical part of our development as a team and a brand. You can learn about them all below.

We are riders—that fact has guided our every decision since 1974. When quality tires weren't around, we strove to make the best. When people wanted to ride cruisers in the dirt, we made the first production mountain bike. When roadies wanted to go faster, we doubled-down on carbon and built our own wind tunnel. And when we saw kids struggling to focus in school, we started the Specialized Foundation to help them through cycling.
Specialized. Made for riders, by riders.
