At Ascender Cycling Club, we are reimagining a sustainable fashion industry.

We founded our brand on the belief that there is a better way to make clothing – Besides the fact that we wanted to create high-performance, comfortable but also stylish pieces for cyclists, it was meaningful to us to make it using effective solutions protecting our earth. We focus on reducing emmissions and challenge ourselves and our partners to rethink the full supply-chain. We strive using sustainable resources for our fabrics and are happy and proud to work with some of the most forward-thinking manufacturers.

"Sustainability is no longer a trend, it is a business imperative!"

We strive to use BLUESIGN® or OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics to make our products.
