Endura D2Z Encapsulator Skin Suit SST Hi-Viz Pink

The Endura D2Z Encapsulator Skin Suit SST is Endura's most advanced TT Skin Suit. Tested in the wind tunnel, proven on the WorldTour; always fastest, whatever the speed.Design PhilosophyThe flagship piece of Endura’s Aero collection, the Encapsulator Suit™ represents the pinnacle of aerodynamic cycle-wear for the rider who is obsessed with speed. Using Drag2Zero’s (D2Z) cutting edge technology the skinsuit has been proven on multiple UCI WorldTour races. On the track the suit has helped Alex Dowsett, Bridie O’Donnell and Vittoria Bussi break the UCI Hour Records and leave their mark in cycling history.Over 80 different skinsuits have been created, tested and remastered to reach the point where Endura are finally content to release it to the wider market. Optimised for speeds over 45kph and in a TT position, the Encapsulator Suit™ is the go-to piece for any time trial rider looking to reach a new level.Optimised For Time Trial Bike Speed Range 46-58KPH (28-36MPH)While most brands test at one single speed, Endura Drag2Zero® understands the critical variations in aerodynamic efficiency at different speeds and in different riding positions. As an example, a suit optimised for a TT rider, averaging 50kph in an aggressive aero position is not necessarily the fastest suit for a rider on a road bike, chasing a sportive PB averaging 35kph. Developing the Endura D2Z® range around this broader philosophy has resulted in products that are finely tuned to the requirements of the target rider, not only faster at one selected data point but across a range of speeds.Surface Silicone Topography – SST™This exclusive, patent-pending technology has been developed by Endura in close collaboration with Simon Smart of Drag2Zero® and validated by the world’s top road riders on the UCI WorldTour. SST™ is the result of years of R & D, studying airflow in wind tunnels alongside the development of new production methods to bring theoretical ideas to real-world riding. Strategically positioned 3D chevrons positively affect airflow around the body, reducing drag at the speeds relevant to the target rider.Encapsulator PocketInitially banned, then accepted, by the UCI the Encapsulator pocket has had a short, but controversial life. The superfine, translucent mesh allows race numbers to be clearly visible while retaining the breathability of the pocket area around the number. Providing a simple solution to the challenge of neatly attaching a race number, the Encapsulator pocket also protects the delicate fabrics from the damage caused by pins.1000 Series (Aero) Seat PadThe 1000 series Italian stretch pad features are sculpted from a single block of foam so, unlike traditional layered pads, there are no clunky steps in pad thickness. The BioCeramic® high stretch, fast-wicking face fabric incorporates a permanent antibacterial finish, completing one of the most advanced pads in existence. The “Aero” version of the pad, used in the D2Z® Encapsulator Suit™ is specially shaped to suit a more aggressive riding position.Multi Fabric ConstructionEndura’s vast experience of garment construction and rigorous pursuit of “faster” fabrics comes together in the D2Z® apparel collection. The D2Z® Encapsulator Suit™ deploys 5 different fabrics in combination to meet the demands of fit, comfort, durability and aerodynamic efficiency.Endura D2Z Encapsulator Skin Suit SST FeaturesOptimised for TT position, speed range; 46 to 58kphThis product has been #BannedByTheUCIMulti fabric construction with Surface Silicone Topography (SST™) sleeve and flank panels for aero optimisationEncapsulator race number pocket and leg gel pocketRaw edge hems with super fine silicone grippers1000 Series Aero Pad with computer cut “Continuously Variable Profile” (CVP)Hand-sewn in ScotlandEndura D2Z Encapsulator Skin Suit SST MaterialsNylon 70% / Polyester 20% / Elastane 10%Hand-sewn in Scotland
