Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you're on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos' regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won't penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the UMA jersey gets you there in style and comfort. Behind the Product To celebrate Assos' Qhubeka partnership for 2022, they created a contest where one winner’s artwork would become the graphics of this limited-edition jersey. 40% from every jersey sold goes directly to the Qhubeka program, supporting the shared mission of changing lives with bicycles. According to the artist, Stijn Dossche, “I created the design considering the typical African styles and patterns, adding multiple elements to show that the Qhubeka program reaches out to everyone. One of those patterns is scattered to show that there's still a lot of work to do.”

At a time when interest in bikes is at its highest for many years, so, unfortunately, is bike theft, with over 500,000 cycles reported stolen each year. A figure which hides the true picture as over half of all cycles stolen are from homes, a crime listed as a burglary, and also many more go unreported.The increasing trend of breaking down modern high-end bikes to sell on the components means protecting an entire bike, and not simply the frame, is vital in the fight against crime. This is where DATATAG, security experts already trusted to provide the technology behind many official industry schemes come in.The UV Stealth PRO system offers a multi-layered approach and allows owners to mark not just frames but also valuable components like forks, wheels, brake levers, derailleurs and bars providing complete protection - something unique to the market. Recent theft figures for all cycles marked with the new Datatag Stealth systems indicate a theft rate of just 0.5%. This is an incredible result as according to the police the historic average is 10%, with road.cc suggesting it's actually as high as 20%. The Police recover thousands of cycles each year but due to a lack of crime reporting and a lack of owner registration, many are simply sold at police auctions and never returned to their rightful owners. A Datatag system will not only help deter theft but will also help in reuniting you and your bike if it is stolen and recovered, as it provides undeniable proof of ownership.The Datatag system offers premier identifiers combined with probably the most comprehensive database of its kind in the market today.
