DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The kit that IRONMAN World Records are made of. Endura introduced the Drag2Zero QDC to the triathlon market in 2016. The suits have been deployed by a talented roster of triathletes, including Tim Don who set an outrageous IRONMAN world record of 7:40. Other athletes, including the meteoric Lucy Charles, have also racked up win after win, result after result in the world’s biggest long distance triathlon events. Consequently, Endura kit holds an almost mythical status within the pro circuit. For 2019, Endura bring their secret weapon to the amateur triathlon world: Surface Silicone Topography. Wind tunnel testing is one thing, but Endura’s athletes have proven the science time and again in real world racing conditions. It’s still all about the bike split.
COLDBLACK® TECHNOLOGY
reduces sunlight heating effect
Dark colours attain a higher temperature than light colours when exposed to the same intensities of direct sunlight. coldblack® technology textile finishing reduces this effect by increasing the amount of infrared and ultraviolet UV rays that are reflected from the fabric’s surface, thereby dramatically reducing the sunlight heating effect. coldblack® also provides reliable protection from UV rays (minimum UPF 30).
SST™
surface silicone topography
This exclusive, patent pending technology has been developed by Endura in close collaboration with Simon Smart of Drag2Zero® and validated by the world’s top road riders on the UCI WorldTour. SST™ is the result of years of R & D, studying airflow in wind tunnel in conjunction with the development of ground breaking new production methods to bring theoretical ideas to real world riding. Strategically positioned 3D chevrons positively affect airflow around the body, reducing drag at the speeds relevant to the target rider.
