Alpinestars have a long history in Mountain Biking and have been pushing out some amazing dirt jump and moto gear for over 10 years now. For 2015 they have taken that decade of experience and developed a new trail and enduro line. Constructed to withstand the toughest, longest and fastest trails in the world, while bringing trail weight and performance.

Alpinestars have worked with professional athletes such as Mick Hannah, Markus Pekoll and Anneke Beerten, in their pursuit of performance excellence, comfort, protection and, above all, enjoyment. To develop its Enduro apparel line further the new collection will feature: the Drop 2 Jersey & Shorts and F-Lite Glove, all of which are optimized for comfort and performance on longer rides; the lightweight and flexible protection products, Evolution Jacket and Alps 2 Knee Guard; and the newly introduced Faster Backpack which features back protection and the ability to add a hydration pack.
