How to overcome the driving record for a month?

At the beginning of July, a conference was held summarizing the amazing action driven by the city's active project. The action was aimed at selecting the bicycle capital of Poland. Once again, Biała Podlaska won among cities, absolutely outclassing everyone, and in the category of municipalities, the commune of Otyń.

The competition also took place in the individual field. Representing the cities, Krzysztof Fechner traveled the largest number of kilometers, but Jacek Kwiatkowski became the winner. We are proud because these ultra riders did it in our costumes.

We waited for the assessment of our projects. We wondered if the technologies implemented, technical thought, or whether all this would meet the expectations of such a demanding challenge.

Shorts that changed the course of events.

Before the competition, we were in constant contact with Krzysztof, who started tests our clothing a little earlier.

The first to go were the Gravel Shorts, based on the Parle.cc shorts called Gravel Attack, which we slightly modified. From a construction perspective, we used a new type of anti-slip pad. They feature a silicone coating on the upper as well. This is a well-thought-out solution for ultra cyclists. When you're riding hundreds of kilometers, every detail matters – a lack of comfort shouldn't distract you from your concentration. The silicone allows you to easily put on leg warmers or leg warmers over your pants without your clothes slipping off. Sometimes a small change can significantly improve comfort, and this is crucial when you're fighting another day. Another change is the use of the new Ultra. Why did we choose it? This Italian pad is highly breathable on hot days, has a high density, and provides long-lasting comfort. Shorts with the new pad will be available soon on the website. Additional stitching in the support layer enhances the feeling of comfort. The insert is attached using our proprietary 8PS seam, ensuring a connection that is imperceptible while riding and eliminating the possibility of chafing.

Krzysztof also wore the second model of shorts – the 555. Our innovative model combines several interesting features. A new flat seam, with the highest possible flexibility, combined with a selected material that fits like a second skin, provides the highest level of comfort. We also used the new SpeedLine, designed for long distances. The back straps feature an additional fabric section to increase the cyclist's mobility. The entire design is finished with an integrated anti-slip strip.

Our R&D department devoted a lot of time for this model to be created. They are available for our customers in many original colors. Shorts have a comfortable, elongated leg. This is a completely new hand in the subject of the cyclist's comfort.

Jacek contacted us just before the start, and preparing his kit was quite a challenge. Together with the incredibly dedicated team from the Łysomice commune, we selected specially tested products. Interestingly, we also chose the Parle.cc Gravel Attack, featuring a Gravel Attackmade of the highest-density foam in key areas – 200kg/m³. This is a proven combination that already has a number of satisfied users. According to our customers, Parle shorts are the best solution available on the Polish market. Parle is our second brand, so when preparing products for Krzysztof and Jacek, we drew on everything that could ensure comfort while riding such long distances and in various weather conditions.

What to the top?

T -shirts we chose are 292 models - a gravele -on -order T -shirt, available at the moment in the graphics of our partners or on Parle.cc.

In order to increase diversity, the riders also had to choose from 282 and 213 models, which are available on the inoni website. Krzysztof has been testing our clothing for some time. He rode in each of the models during the whole event - of course in graphics made especially for him. Jacek did the same - he spent the whole adventure alternately in the Gravel T -shirt and model 282.

The competitors also used our scarves and socks. New socks adhere great, but they do not compress with a long effort. The scarves were mainly used as a head protection and a sweat collector. All products did a medal.

In this case, the medal has an additional meaning.

Record in the number of kilometers traveled.

Krzysztof Fechner and Jacek Kwiatkowski did something amazing, in June they covered a total of over 10044 km and thus set a record of kilometers traveled in a month!

It is amazing that we could participate in this project, and we know that this is not the end.

Krzysztof invited us to join the Race Across India. The challenge will begin in the Himalayas at an altitude of 4,000 meters and end in southern India, after a 3,600-kilometer journey. It's a daunting logistical undertaking. We set off in September, and on October 1, 2024, we'll begin our race against time, road regulations (or lack thereof), and variable weather conditions with temperatures ranging from -5 to +35 degrees Celsius. Krzysztof will be the first European to compete in this race. We eagerly await this extraordinary adventure and enormous challenge. We're confident Inoni will rise to the challenge, providing high-quality clothing for the entire team.
