The new core collection includes road bike, gravel and activewear clothing with new materials and cuts. Well-known models have been replaced: the Mathilde long-distance bib shorts have been replaced by Freida, while other new models include the Andrea long-sleeved jersey, the Mireille merino jersey and the Gladys gravel top.
