The most original colors of the circuit
The five of them have ahead of them a racing calendar that will put the name of Gobik on the most important grids of the season. A name that will appear on the front of one of the jerseys of one of the most unique in the history of the brand, as it is signed by the famous Portuguese artist Helio Braywell known in urban environments for his mastery of the graffiti technique, along with others, such as pointillism.
"We wanted someone from outside cycling to work on this special design for the brand who would bring a different point of view, and with the desire to create synergies of communication between the worlds of sport and art," he told us. Albert MedranoAlbert Medrano, Head of Marketing at Gobikabout the origin of this proposal.
"We really like its fresh style, which is reflected all over the world, and is also the result of mixing materials and techniques," continues Medrano, who emphasizes that "the natural environment in which MTB takes place is very well reflected in the play of green of the jersey in combination with the ferrous of the bib”.
