THE PATINA TEAM
MEET THE RIDERS BEHIND THE BRAND
We are Patina and we are rider owned & run! Take a second to have a run through our team and find out who they are, what makes them tick, what they ride, and how they ended up becoming part of the team. What we gain from our riders is first hand knowledge and feedback on how we can continuously improve and enhance our products, having their real world experience of the products on the trail is vital to our research and development. What that all means for you...race, crash, trail, mountain tested bike wear.
