Yorkshire based Dessus has refined its aero jersey and claims that it is the equivalent of 4-8 watts faster than the market leading aero jersey at 40 km/h (25mph) and the equivalent of 8-16 watts faster than a standard jersey, confirmed by testing with British aero data tech developers Body Rocket.

It began in the pub. Like all great ideas, especially those born in Yorkshire. Discussing the documentary American Crit about the achingly cool US crit scene. The skinsuits they wore were all zipped up the back prompting the obvious question, why don’t we ride in jerseys like that?  A sketch was done, the zip was ditched.

Dessus was born.

Our primary aim with the Dessus Aero.21 was to produce a jersey that is faster than what is currently available from other brands. We've achieved this with more than marginal gains but like any claim, we've got to back it up with cold, hard data.

We're proud to say that The Bike Rack in Yarm, Teeside is joining up with us to stock the Dessus range alongside their existing portfolio of high-end brands.

It's just over a year since the launch of the Dessus Aero Jersey and none of us could have predicted how rocky 2020 was going to be. It has, however, been a year with plenty of time for riding and testing kit to its limits. Every inch of thousands of miles of testing has come together to create kit that performs far beyond expectations in every department.
