New Deluxe “Baja Team” Kit

If you were ever wow’d by the regalia worn by our very own racers, you can now cop one while we have them. You won’t be disappointed by our newest launch – the Deluxe “Baja Team” Kit. They are now available here in-store, as well as on our webstore (links below).
We have sizes S-thru-XL in a Short-Sleeve Jersey, Long-Sleeve Jersey, and Bib Short.

It was a no-brainer choosing Endo Customs to manufacture this kit. Endo Customs have constantly impressed us with their highest level of quality in materials and work ethic. They are a small crew based out of Downtown Los Angeles and have exceeded our already highly rigid expectations, again and again. We have 100% confidence in Endo’s products after using the Deluxe track and road teams as our guinea pigs. Stressing and pushing the limits of the fabric to it’s threshold.

The construction of each piece of this kit are undeniably well crafted with the ideals of racers in mind.  The kit pieces were developed for comfort as much as they were for performance. The Short-Sleeve, Long-Sleeve Jerseys, as well as the Bib are lightweight, breathable, wear in well, and are true to race-fit sizing.

The jerseys are of a race fit, made of Italian engineered fabrics, and have a full-length reversible Endo “e” YKK zipper, and 3 rear pockets. The pockets they are modestly sized to fit a pouch, jacket and your food without feeling stretched or loose. The height of them makes them easy to get into on the bike and off the bike without snag. The

bottom hem of the jersey has a generous strip of Italian silicone elastic – Endo Gel-Fast Elastic to help keep the jersey down and in place.  The jersey fuses a finessed look and performance.  Their signature race cut jersey is constructed of lightweight supple fabrics that provide premium comfort while resting snug against the body.  It also includes mesh panels in the under arm area contribute to the enhanced air flow and breathability.

The bib is built with the highest quality highly abrasion-resistant Italian fabric with high compression technology. The chamois stitched with  Cytech’s EIT Road Performance. It’s a high quality pad designed for comfort on longer rides – cushy and breathable, also found on other high end bibs. The extended race cut leg bands are laser cut with integrated grip, so the bib doesn’t shift when you get out of the saddle to put in a powerful effort. It also features material rated for 50+SPF/UPF sun protection. It is also worth noting that this chamois has a center channel for perineal comfort and variable thickness to provide the right support for right areas and breathability for the others. The chamois is molded into a 3D shape to help minimize any rubbing in the wrong places.

Bottom line, the Deluxe Team kit by Endo Customs are a high quality comfortable kit catered to both club riders and those wishing to race in style. They are the marriage of both function and fashion.

Well crafted, with choice taste, bonded by a flowing graphic design.

Wilis and Cooper had a blast at the Redbull Minidrome. Wilis tore apart two of his bikes to build a special minidrome specific bike- the result was this Landshark! Big thanks to Redbull for making it happen. All of our winnings are going straight into funding the upcoming CX season!

Jesse’s Kalavinka

Jesse just built up a new Kalavinka NJS frame for racing! Hatta swan headset and bottom bracket for smooth running, Nitto post and stem to keep it classy, and a San Marco Concor Light saddle to keep it familiar. Suzue Promax hubs laced 1x in front and 2x in rear to shiny A23s make it a beaut, but what sets this NJS apart from others is that it’s set up tubeless! Can’t forget the blue toshi straps on MKS Sylvain Lite pedals, too!

Ben’s Bareknuckle

Jesse’s best buddy Ben was in mid build with his new Bareknuckle when he came here. We helped him finish it off right. With a titanium railed Brooks Swift, Nitto risers, Thomson stem/ setback post, phil hubs laced to open pro rims and a Campy crankset this bike screams simplicity and class. Not to mention the matching leather toe straps and handle bar grips!
