We started working with PRO in 2009 with the view to creating a strong line of componentry that was fit for World Cup usage but would also perform amazingly for the average rider. With the Atherton Star Series we feel we created a line that fitted the brief well and we haven’t just left it at that, with PRO’s expertise and knowledge thats seen their components appear on World Champions bikes across all disciplines of cycling we have continually refined the product to where it is today. With a new line launching at the end of summer we’re hoping our products continue to bring enjoyment into peoples riding.
Vision is everything in our sport, whether its picking a line through a rock garden or keeping our vision clear in Alpine mud.
