On display at booth 29036-RC, the line includes short and long-sleeved jerseys, base layers, bib tights and bib shorts featuring CurveTec™, a patented design providing maximum mobility and support for the female physique. CurveTec enhances the cycling experience by supporting the core, lower back, shoulders, hips, and thighs. Priced from $99 to $359, this collection is available on www.jelenew.com.
The brand’s designers are Di Liu, formerly with the Chanel Couture team and Chief Product Co-Creation Officer, Marion Clignet, six-time world champion and two-time Olympic medalist. They work alongside a team of skilled female designers, female athletes, sports enthusiasts, and leading experts in sports performance and science.
