Behind the DKR Jersey: The Rugged Spirit of Dakota Ridge

Some trails demand your full attention. Dakota Ridge is one of them. With its relentless rock gardens, punchy climbs, and exhilarating descents, it’s a proving ground for riders who crave technical challenges and raw, untamed terrain. It’s the kind of trail that keeps you on your toes—where every line choice matters, and hesitation isn’t an option. 

That’s exactly why we designed the DKR Jersey the way we did. 

Inspired by the Trail Itself

The deep red hues and textured patterns of the DKR Jersey aren’t just a design choice—they’re pulled straight from the trail itself. Using a high-resolution image of a small section of Dakota Ridge’s rocky surface, we transformed the raw essence of the terrain into a dynamic fabric texture. The result? A jersey that embodies the rugged, unforgiving nature of the trail it’s named after.

When you put on the DKR Jersey, you’re not just wearing a mountain bike jersey. You’re wearing the spirit of Dakota Ridge—the grit, the challenge, and the reward of conquering one of Colorado’s most technical rides.

Built for the Ride

Like the trail it represents, the DKR Jersey is made to handle anything the mountain throws at you:

✔ Breathable & Moisture-Wicking – Keeps you cool when the climb gets tough.

✔ Durable & Lightweight – Built to handle rough terrain without weighing you down.

✔ UPF50+ Protection – Because high-altitude sun exposure is no joke.

✔ Two-Way Stretch Fabric – Moves with you, giving you a full range of motion.

Whether you’ve tackled Dakota Ridge before or have it on your must-ride list, this jersey is a tribute to the riders who embrace the challenge.

Ride the Ridge. Wear the Ridge.

The DKR Jersey is more than just gear—it’s a badge of honor for those who thrive on the technical, the unpredictable, and the downright gnarly. If you’ve ever found yourself grinding up a climb, heart pounding, only to drop into a descent that makes it all worthwhile, this jersey is for you.
