Over the past few months, we've wanted to reinvent the way ultra-distance cycling is experienced. Faced with the extreme demands of this discipline, we designed the ULTRA jersey, a product conceived to combine all the needs of long-distance cyclists in a single garment: comfort, breathability, practicality, durability, and visibility. More than just a jersey, it's a true riding companion designed to transform the ultra-cycling experience. A vision that GCN in French recently brought to light through two exciting videos.

The Giants' Race: a first experience for Louis, wearing our ULTRA jersey

This summer, for the third consecutive year, we organized the Giants' Race: an extraordinary challenge that encapsulates the very essence of ultra-running. On this occasion, Louis de GCN in French Louis decided to embark on this adventure to celebrate his 30th birthday. A seasoned cyclist with several titles and records to his name, a regular in the peloton, Louis is a competitor at heart. But for him, it was a first: discovering the world of ultra-cycling, where performance is intertwined with managing time, nutrition, sleep… and above all, mental strength.

To optimize his experience and minimize stops, Louis rode in our ULTRA jersey. Designed to meet the specific needs of ultra-distance cycling, it allowed him to stay focused on his effort, keeping everything he needed for long, unrestricted rides within easy reach. This choice of equipment perfectly illustrates the purpose of this jersey: to support cyclists in the most demanding formats, where every detail counts.

In the video you can watch here, Louis candidly shares his emotions, his challenges, but also the immense satisfaction that ultra-running brings. And that's exactly what we love: seeing an experienced runner take on a new discipline and emerge transformed.

The ULTRA jersey scrutinized by GCN in French

Beyond the experience of the event, GCN wanted to understand what makes the difference in terms of equipment. Ultra-cycling imposes specific needs: breathability, resistance, practicality, and comfort during very long hours in the saddle.

Thus, in a second dedicated video, GCN examined the subject in more detail. ULTRA Matchy jersey. Designed and developed with feedback from ultra-distance cyclists, this jersey was conceived to redefine the standards of the genre: additional pockets, technical fabrics adapted to temperature variations, and ergonomics that remain optimal even after several days of cycling.

When innovation and experience meet

This dual perspective – that of a cyclist experiencing his first ultra adventure and that of an in-depth technical analysis – perfectly illustrates what we have been trying to convey from the beginning:

• Ultra-cycling is an experience accessible to all those who want to push their limits.

• The right equipment can transform a daunting challenge into a fully realized adventure.

See our jersey ULTRA Having it tested in such a demanding context and validated by GCN is a source of immense pride for us.
But above all, it's a confirmation: innovation, when it responds to real needs, has the power to push the boundaries and make ultra-cycling even more inspiring and accessible.
