The Freewheel MTB Collection

Earlier this year, we launched our all new Freewheel MTB Collection–an assortment of technical jerseys, shorts, gloves, and hip packs tailor-made for the rigors of mountain biking. We are stoked to hear you guys have already been riding in it and loving it! The collection was designed to create a balance between performance and durability, blending technical materials and modern designs for on-the-bike comfort and protection in any terrain or condition. Your dialed in fit will allow you to focus on the trail and your technique, not the fit and performance of your kit. Your time on the bike is sacred. The Freewheel MTB Collection is designed to maximize every second.
