PEARL iZUMi Debuts New Road Pieces and Designs

PEARL iZUMi transformed its road bike collection with new styles, colors and designs. With a refocus on sleek and effortless design, the new road collection is like nothing PEARL iZUMi has ever created.

The new line also received a significant design refresh. According to Lynn Bush, Design Manager for PEARL iZUMi, “You’ll notice a few main design themes for this season. First, we focused on sophisticated solids that could be easily mixed and matched across the line, and we added navy bottoms that allow riders to update their wardrobe with a fresh new basic option. And for a little more seasonal interest, we created several new prints that add a human element to complement the technical silhouettes.”

Developed by PEARL iZUMi’s own design team, the new road collection features an array of new hand drawn prints for a “perfect imperfect” look. New patterns include Wish, Kimono, Stripe and Paisley. A combination of classic PEARL iZUMi colors with the new patterns creates a refined aesthetic for the 2019 season.

The Road Collection includes:

New Footwear

Men’s Tour Road

Combining the classic look of a lace up with modern sole technology, the Tour Road provides performance at a tremendous value. Our supportive nylon composite sole integrates a stiff carbon plate at the ball of the foot to maximize power transfer, with the flexibility to run either two bolt SPD or three bolt SPD-SL cleats. The fully bonded seamless upper construction creates a slipper like fit that is highly adjustable thanks to the traditional lacing system. An additional set of laces is included in the box so you can choose to add a pop of color or opt for subtle style.

Women’s Sugar Road

Combining the classic look of a lace up with modern sole technology, the Women’s Sugar Road provides performance at a tremendous value. Our supportive nylon composite sole integrates a stiff carbon plate at the ball of the foot to maximize power transfer, with the flexibility to run either two bolt SPDs or three bolt SPD-SL cleats. The fully bonded seamless upper construction creates a slipper like fit that is highly adjustable thanks to the traditional lacing system. An additional set of laces is included in the box so you can choose to add a pop of color or opt for subtle style.

Men’s and Women’s Attack Glove

Traditional cycling gloves add comfort by adding padding, which presents a tradeoff that has led some riders to go glove-less in favor of better bar feel. Unfortunately, they also give up nerve protection and the extra security of a glove. The Attack Glove takes the opposite approach and provides support, rather than padding, to alleviate hand numbness. Our 1:1® Connect Palm uses a specially shaped, low profile gel insert to maintain the natural arch across your palm (go ahead, take a quick look at your hand) to avoid numb fingers. This maintains handlebar contact at the knuckles and the heel of your palm, and adds the slip free grip of synthetic leather for locked in control.
