Understanding the Challenges of Climbing
Elevation and Temperature Changes
Epic climbs often involve rapid shifts in temperature due to altitude changes. Cyclists need adaptable gear to stay warm during cold, windy ascents and dry in case of sweat accumulation.
Performance Demands on Climbs
Climbing puts a significant strain on your body, requiring sustained energy output. The right gear can improve efficiency, allowing you to conserve energy and focus on conquering the summit.
