Canyon launches CLLCTV rideable streetwear clothing collection

German cycling brand Canyon is best known for its premium range of gravel, mountain and road bikes however, it is now expanding into rider fashion with the CLLCTV streetwear range.

The new range is split into the ‘Core’ collection and the limited edition ‘Concrete College’ collection which Canyon says is: “Made to be worn anywhere from the forest trails to the city streets, Canyon CLLCTV Streetwear clothing is designed to be rideable, hard wearing and versatile.”

Canyon is keen to emphasise that it has been designed with functionality at the heart of the new range using T400 and Muru fabrics to increase the durability of the garments.

The CLLCTV range has been designed by TOME, a designer based in Koblenz – the same city where Canyon has its headquarters.

Canyon has hinted that there could be some collaborations in the pipeline

In a press release issued by Canyon, TOME said, “I was inspired by the subcultures of the past when creating the CLLCTV streetwear and wanted to combine future trends and functionality with quality materials. CLLCTV is a 90s soul with a futuristic heartbeat that connects people with an instantly recognisable street uniform.”

The CLLCTV name has typically been associated with the brand's downhill mountain bike racing team, but with this new clothing range bearing the same name the brand is looking to broaden the CLLCTV label to include other subgroups of the riding scene.

Speaking ahead of the collection’s release, Canyon said, “Our vision is to become the ultimate streetwear brand for young riders and beyond, by combining their lifestyle and​ passion for adventure through riding and street fashion.​”
