For now, both the lines will be functionally identical with the only difference being the colouring and branding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ride Short stand out features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The material used is light and has some flex, with special attention given to durability.\n<\/li>\n<li>The cut differs from any other baggies in the South African market. Emphasis was put on a sleek look and feel that eliminated any excess material flapping in the wind or catching your saddle. They\u2019re also specifically designed to not catch the back of your knee when pedaling.\n<\/li>\n<li>We understand not everyone\u2019s bodies are the same, or you occasionally eat a bit much at Sunday lunch, so all the shorts come with waist adjusters to ensure you get the perfect fit, every time.\n<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019ve included two zipped pockets on either side, specifically positioned to avoid anything inside them bouncing while going through the pedal stroke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:275px;\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-56314200-1464606882.jpg\" data-fileid=\"735497\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"735497\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-56314200-1464606882.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-56314200-1464606882.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>And our Ride Tee:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was emphasis was put on the look and feel of the ride tee. It is different to anything in the local market.\n<\/li>\n<li>The material used is light and breathable, with superior moisture wicking qualities to keep you cool right through those long weekend adventures.\n<\/li>\n<li>Special thought went into the rear pocket design. It has been designed to fit most big smart phones (with the exception of the Huawei P7 \u2013 it&#8217;s huge), with space for more. We\u2019ve got a snap\u2013shut system that is easy to open and close on the fly and stops the contents from jumping out when you\u2019re bombing down the trails. We\u2019ve included some padding against the skin to stop any of your ride essentials scratching you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">So, where to from here?<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re headed to production. With luck, we should be fulfilling our first orders within 7 weeks. We\u2019re offering a pre-production discount on all our products if you order them via our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jumpstarter.co.za\/campaigns\/westpeak\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">crowd-funding page<\/a>. This will ensure you not only get a discount, but you\u2019ll also be the first to get our kit. If we don\u2019t reach our goal, you get every cent back, no exceptions. The money from this will go into advertising, R&amp;D, as well as production of our trail running stuff.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-09771400-1464606882.jpg\" data-fileid=\"735496\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"735496\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-09771400-1464606882.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-09771400-1464606882.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Need more info?
