London - November 10 2021 - Albion today announces the launch of Zoa, a new range of technical clothing for cyclists and the adventurous

The Albion Zoa range aims to set a new standard in outdoor clothing for cyclists, utilising the world’s best performance fabrics in a range of premium products suitable for multiple riding disciplines and for both on and off bike use.

Albion has partnered with Pertex®, the world leading lightweight and durable technical fabrics brand, on the fabrics for the Zoa range.

The new range consists of the Zoa Insulated Jacket, the Zoa Rain Shell, and the Zoa Burner, and has been designed as a system that can be used together, or as standalone products, depending on the conditions and activity.

The Zoa range is the culmination of many months’ thinking, design, refining and testing, and we’re excited to now be bringing these products to market. Zoa products answer a direct need for cycling-specific clothing geared towards the outdoors and adventure, and feature a number of considered details to make time spent on or off the bike using them easier and more comfortable. Working with the best fabric, insulation and trim suppliers in the market, and with a focus on responsible sourcing, we believe that Zoa can set a new standard for modern, technical and versatile cycling products for both on and off bike use.  Graeme Raeburn, Lead Designer at Albion

About Twotone Amsterdam

The roots of Twotone go back in 2007, when Twotone’s founder – Jon Woodroof – cofounded a fixed-gear focused bike shop in Atlanta, GA named No Brakes. His clothes nearly always matched his track bike & he earned the nickname Twotone. Jon cut his teeth on promoting his own shop, the brands they sold, and even suppliers, athletes, and other organisations they partnered with all before Instagram!

Those entrepreneurial roots grew into the hold your line, you'll be fine full-send approach to how we run our business today. A 10-year-old nickname became a Dutch BV in 2014 & Twotone has become THE one-stop-shop for cycling-savvy sales, marketing, and PR across Europe in the USA.

Over the course of the past nearly 9 years of helping brands find their way & have their say, we’re grateful for the successes, lessons, and trust! Schedule a meeting to learn more!
