Mountain Bike & Fitness: New Ducati Corse outdoor garments developed for maximum performance in sporting activities
Ducati’s sporting soul is expressed in multiple forms: from a complete range of production motorcycles to collections of accessories and technical garments; from the world of racing to the daily commute from home to work. Ducati values of sportiness, performance and style can in fact accompany fans of the brand far beyond the experience of riding a motorbike. The new active wear garments by Ducati Corse were created with this aim in mind: Ducati Corse MTB and Ducati Corse Fitness. Made with technical solutions and aimed at being used with various degrees of specialization, they respond to the needs of different settings, united by a passion for outdoor and high-adrenaline activities.
Enduro/All-Mountain line
Adrenaline and performance are essential elements for Ducati, both when riding a motorbike and pedalling a bike. For this reason, Ducati is extending its range of clothing dedicated to those who practice sports by presenting a line entirely designed for off-road cyclists. The garments are all made with breathable fabrics and technical materials, while the prevalence of red in the graphics gives an impactful style and recalls the Ducati Corse brand at a glance.
The Enduro/All-Mountain line is made up of a long-sleeved T-shirt and a short-sleeved T-shirt, made with lightweight, perforated and stretch materials, so as to guarantee freedom of movement and breathability, as well as allowing quick drying once the sporting activity is over.
The T-shirts are paired with shorts in technical material, elasticated in the lumbar region and with an abrasion-proof insert to protect against rubbing with the seat. The closure of the shorts is micro-adjustable thanks to a buckle equipped with retainer, and there are four pockets on the garment, two on the front and two on the sides. A useful pad with Coolmax® protection is also available for these shorts, to be worn underneath to increase comfort when riding distances increase.
This clothing line dedicated to the world of off-road cycling is completed by fabric gloves and technical socks. The gloves have mesh fabric on the back for breathability and suede leather palms to ensure a firm grip on the handlebars and controls; they also have an element on the thumb and index finger compatible with the touch screens of the most common devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches or GPS trackers. The socks in this line also feature a high technical level, thanks to the yarn with a ribbed structure, which increases both shin protection and breathability. The outsole is made of foam, thus able to maximize foot support and therefore comfort. The yarn used for these socks also has bacteriostatic qualities and uses polyethylene with a specific treatment, which makes them particularly resistant to washing and wear.
Performing sportswear is necessary to achieve and enhance the best performance on every route: the Ducati Corse MTB line offers technical solutions and high-quality components, which fully embody the Ducati style.
Fitness line
The Ducati Corse Fitness capsule collection has great qualities of versatility and comfort, as well as a style capable of interpreting the Ducati Corse DNA with the right amount of determination, while expressing it in sober shades. This colour choice, combined with a contemporary reinterpretation of the Ducati Corse shield, makes the Fitness collection the ideal solution not only for sporting activities, but also for leisure time. Unique and recognizable garments with a graphic design that recalls Ducati Corse even when used outside the context of two wheels, motorized or muscle-powered.
The collection is first and foremost made up of a sweatshirt, the versatile garment by definition: equipped with warm microfleece padding, it is also suitable for spring training mornings or evenings, when temperatures can vary throughout the day. In addition to the sweatshirt, the collection also includes fitness pants, made unmistakable thanks to the oversized Ducati Corse logo on the left leg, and equipped on a practical level with three pockets, the two classic ones on the sides and one back, the latter with zip closure.
When temperatures rise, other items from this line come into play, such as the summer shorts. Made, like the long capsule pants, in black only, they are ideal for both running and the gym. This is thanks to the maximum freedom of movement guaranteed by the fabric it is made of, which is particularly light and easily wearable thanks to the stretch waist area. To complete the look of the collection there is a T-shirt for him and a tank top for her, both comfortable, light and breathable thanks to the micro mesh with which they are made. The same fabric also guarantees rapid drying and resistance to wear, so as to support even the most intense workouts. Finally, a must for an outfit intended for sporting activities is the classic baseball cap, here reimagined in its look thanks to Ducati Corse graphic motifs and the highly breathable fabric with which it is made.
Created to maximize the comfort of those who practice physical activity, the garments from the Ducati Corse MTB and Fitness lines allow you to optimize sporting performance in every field and also offer a high level of safety thanks to the prints made with reflective materials, very useful for increasing the visibility of the wearer even in low light conditions.
The new Ducati Corse MTB and Ducati Corse Fitness collections are available at the Bologna based company’s sales network and online on the Shop.Ducati.com website.
