Since its launch in 2020, the UK-based Universal Colours<\/strong>\u00a0has established a significant global presence as part of a new generation of brands.<\/p>\n

While fresh collections are launched each season, what makes Vol. 7 for the spring\/summer 2023 season stand out is its rich color lineup using trendy colors. The flexible use of colors in any combination will further lift our spirits as we welcome the new season.<\/p>\n

1. Riding with Volume 7<\/h2>\n

Let’s go with summery full bloom.<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Jersey: Mono Men’s Short Sleeve Jersey<\/strong><\/a><\/span>
\nGilet: Spectrum Lightweight Unisex Gilet<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>
\nBib Shorts: Mono Men’s Bib Short<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The rich French blue hue is full of summery charm.
\nThe thin Mono Jersey fabric is so soft and comfortable that you may forget you are wearing it, and together with the blue hue, it elegantly wraps around your body.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Jersey: Spectrum Light Women’s Short Sleeve Jersey<\/strong><\/a><\/span>
\nBib Shorts: Mono Women\u2019s Bib Short<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by the cross-section of alpine sedimentary rocks, the beige jersey is exquisitely nuanced in texture and color, while the Spectrum jersey is also soft, airy, and smoothly fits the body.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by fresh greenery<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

The cool forest roads with almost no traffic are ideal for summer riding. You can simply lose yourself in the path, listening to the birdsong and the sound of the wind.<\/span><\/p>\n

A forest road with a sign indicating the grade puts pressure on cyclists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Universal Colours’ soft fabric feel does not restrict movement in the saddle<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Volume7 Lineup<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

The lineup is richer than ever, with energetic blacks and reds, French blues and greens full of spring and summer excitement, and timeless pale tones, all of which show that UC is growing even more as a global brand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

The new deep red color of the bib shorts is pleasant to wear with any of them. While colored bibs have become the norm, these colors add even more freshness to the styling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

One of the reasons we love Universal Colours is that when we add new pieces to our wardrobe each season, the colors match perfectly when paired with past garments. The color palette seems to be carefully chosen, and each ride adds to the joy of styling.<\/p>\n

Not only the universality of the design, but also the gender-neutrality and consideration of manufacturing methods, which are values not found in traditional cycling apparel, are the reasons why we always want to include them as an option among the many brands available.<\/p>\n

Bib shorts are naturally thickly padded for long distances<\/span><\/p>\n
