Loose Riders

Loose Riders – Progressive Bikewear and Gravity MTB Culture

What started in the mountains of northern Thailand as a local crew of passionate riders has grown into one of the driving forces in progressive bikewear. The brand brings together Gravity MTB crews from around the world into a real community – combining uncompromising trail performance with influences from counter-culture, punk and 80s BMX. Core performance meets authentic streetwear style. Made by bike freaks for bike freaks.

Brand history and philosophy

Founded in 2012 in Chiang Mai, the brand has evolved from a local trail crew into the influential "Global Alliance" of the downhill scene. Extreme durability and rider-driven innovation are at its core. For its technical wear, the label relies on recycled PET bottles – out of respect for the nature we move through.

Bike apparel meets streetwear style

Whether steep climbs or hard laps in the bike park – Loose Riders has the right bikewear setup for every situation. Their style: authentic, shaped by streetwear influences and scene vibes.

Bikewear

Built for maximum freedom of movement and durability. The full range of bikewear gives you the right setup for the trail. A breathable Loose Riders jersey fits perfectly – even with body armour underneath. And an abrasion-resistant Loose Riders bike pant holds up after even the hardest crash.

Streetwear

The counter-culture vibe doesn't stop at the trailhead. A laid-back Loose Riders T-shirt from the streetwear collection brings 80s BMX and punk influences straight into your everyday life.
