Zara has launched a new range of mountain bike clothing in collaboration with cycling brand Spiuk.

The Spanish high-street fashion brand dipped its toe into the cycle clothing market earlier this year, and this new collection sees the company expand its cycling range.

The collection is the newest addition to Zara’s Athleticz outdoor range, which also has products for sports including football and skiing.

The line-up features technical kit and casual clothing, including Spiuk’s MTB Athleticz helmet and Athleticz Trainers mountain bike shoes.

Also in the range are mountain bike jackets, jerseys and gilets – all of which feature back pockets and proper cycling cuts.

International pricing was not available at the time of publishing.
