Women's cycling clothes are made with the same pattern and design as men's cycling clothes but are just made in a smaller size. How is this gonna fit a women's needs? It is either so tight and uncomfortable or loose and shapeless, which seriously compromises its protection, and the design has such a monotonous aesthetics, which is so unfriendly to women who want to pick up cycling...", Originally, this was just a casual complaint from a fellow cyclist, but it caused Di to pause and think back at the cycling industry and its history that Di has always taken for granted.

So when customers complained to him that women's cycling clothes are not fit enough for curves/comfort enough/masculine design structure, he instinctively realized that this industry needs him, so he began to gain insights into female riders in cycling clubs, and often He asked them to ride together, and he found that among the riders, men seldom complained about their cycling clothes, while women often complained that their cycling clothes were not fit enough, not comfortable enough, not good-looking enough, so he also bought a lot of women’s cycling clothes back Research, he found that women's cycling clothes are designed and manufactured according to the straight lines of men's bodies, and even the details of the craftsmanship do not consider the particularity of women's body sensations at all. Plus some small sizes in the size library, here, women's models are like marginal products of men's models, there is no exclusive version, no exclusive design, no exclusive status...", at this time, a strong voice Tell him that "female riders need him, and they need him to use his best curve technology to empower the industry, and to make cycling clothes that make female riders feel that they fit the body curve, ride comfortably, and meet women's aesthetics.
