Assos UMA Bicycles Change Lives Jersey

The Assos UMA Bicycles Change Lives Jersey gives you the fabrics and fit to feel good on the bike. And because of the partnership with the Qhubeka charity, you can feel good about doing your bit towards empowering people through bikes too.

Qhubeka – Bicycles Change Lives

Featuring vibrant, limited edition graphics, the UMA Bicycles Change Lives Jersey celebrates the work of Qhubeka, the charity helping change the lives of people via the power of the bicycle. With a bicycle, those facing extreme poverty can travel further and travel faster. It offers them the opportunity to generate income and transform their and their families lives. Qhubeka helps people get where they need to go.

Performance Perfected

Under a hot summer sky, the lightweight breathability of DUAL Tex fabric body panels maintains your cool comfort. Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. 

For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you’re on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+.

 Flap-Free Fit

Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos’ regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won’t penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. 

Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the UMA jersey gets you there in style and comfort.

Behind the Product

To celebrate Assos’ Qhubeka partnership for 2022, they created a contest where one winner’s artwork would become the graphics of this limited-edition jersey. 40% from every jersey sold goes directly to the Qhubeka program, supporting the shared mission of changing lives with bicycles.

According to the artist, Stijn Dossche, “I created the design considering the typical African styles and patterns, adding multiple elements to show that the Qhubeka program reaches out to everyone. One of those patterns is scattered to show that there’s still a lot of work to do.”
