RS Short Sweeps Awards

14-Nov-2006 → RS Award from Mountain Bike MagazineWinning an award is generally a good thing, but given that we live in a World full of awards and best-ofs, winning one could easily be put down to the preferences of a particular market or reviewer. However, when a particular product wins major awards in three countries and has been winning those awards for three straight years it's time to admit that the verdict is definitive.

Sugoi's RS short has been collecting awards for a few years now, but 2006 represents the high water mark for Sugoi's elite cycling short. Having collected "Best of" awards from the Editors of Bicycling/Mountain Bike in the USA, What Mountain Bike in the UK and Mountain Bike in Germany, the RS has accumulated a virtual clean sweep of major gear awards this year.

The RS Short has been Sugoi's benchmark for several years and is the same amazing short which has been ridden to wins in everything from National Criterium Championships to the week-long TransRockies Challenge is available to the public. In 2006, the short evolved with a new multiply chamois and sleek UltraAero fabric and for 2007, the benchmark for short performance will be set even higher as the RS program grows and evolves.

But that's all in the future, for now we're just taking the time to enjoy what's happened so far.
