CONTROVENTO: the bike collection for Fast People

CONTROVENTO: the bike collection for Fast People

Riding against the wind means staying outside the comfort zone, pulling when it would be easier to wait, remaining exposed when others look for shelter and continuing anyway, even when the conditions are not ideal.

Fast People comes from there.

Not only from people who are fast on a bike, but from those who see headwind as a confirmation, not as an obstacle. From those who understand that speed is not only about going faster than others, but about continuing to search for rhythm, presence and control even when everything around them is trying to slow them down.

That is why the technical base had to be serious.

Because a product can have a radical aesthetic only if, first of all, it is credible.

CONTROVENTO is developed together with MOA Sport, an Italian company with almost 60 years of experience in the production of pads and technical cycling apparel, a partner that has long worked within advanced cycling, combining research, production, applied technologies and Made in Italy know-how.

For NASR, this collaboration is not a detail. It is a precise choice.

The product has to be strong for real.

The XTB04 skinsuit was born for this: a construction designed for those looking for integration, speed and continuity between the upper and lower body, with Kinetech® compressive panels, structured aerodynamic fabrics, breathable mesh zones and the Randonnée 2.0 pad, designed to support very long rides, up to 10 hours.

It is not just a skinsuit. It is a closed, essential system, built to reduce everything that is not needed and leave space for what matters: position, rhythm, efficiency.

The XTB05 jersey works on lightness, quick drying and friction reduction, with 3D Kinetech® sleeves designed to follow movement without losing a clean line. It is the piece that has to breathe when intensity rises, remain stable when you change position and keep working even when the body starts producing heat, sweat and tension.

The XTB01 bibs complete the road structure with compression, UPF 50+ protection, abrasion resistance and an ergonomic construction designed for long hours in the saddle. Because a bib should not stand out, should not disturb, should not become something you think about when the mileage increases.

It has to support. Stay in place. Let the legs work.

The products designed for gravel and long distances follow the same logic, but shift the focus onto a different terrain, dirtier, more irregular and less predictable. The XTB08 cargo bib introduces side pockets in elastic mesh, quick-drying recycled fabrics and a pad designed for irregular surfaces, because when you move away from the cleanest road, you do not only need efficiency, you need adaptation.

The XTB06 vest is the piece that best interprets the concept of management: light, packable, protective on the front and breathable on the back, designed for wind, descents and sudden weather changes. You do not always need it, but when you do, it completely changes the perception of the ride, because it gives you the right margin when the body stops producing heat and the environment starts working against you.

This is the technical side, but today, technique alone is no longer enough.

Everyone talks about performance.

Almost no one still has a recognizable visual identity.

In recent years, cycling has started to look too similar: neutral palettes, minimalism everywhere, the same aesthetic repeated endlessly, the same way of telling fatigue as something clean, orderly, almost silent.

NASR comes from a different culture.

CONTROVENTO was born for this too: to bring presence back into a group that too often seems to want to disappear. The green, white and black palette becomes immediately recognizable, while sharp contrasts, color blocks and graphic volumes build an aggressive aesthetic without losing clarity.

The point is not only to ride fast, the point is to be recognizable while doing it.

Because if cycling is movement, speed, exposure and presence, then what you wear also has to have the courage to stay there, inside the scene, without asking for permission.

CONTROVENTO does not interpret cycling as a clean and orderly discipline. It interprets it as a position, as a way of staying inside the effort, as the choice to remain exposed when it would be more comfortable to hide behind something already seen.

It is not a simple bike capsule.

It is NASR’s first clear statement inside cycling: a collection built for those who are not only looking for romantic endurance, but for a more aggressive, contemporary and racing idea of the sport.

Riding fast is no longer enough.

You need presence and identity.

You need to leave a trace when you pass.
