BECAUSE EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT.
No two bodies are alike. We develop an individual cut for every size. This range allows you to choose your perfect pair of shorts from over 50 different sizes.
BECAUSE WE TRY UNTIL WE FIND THE PERFECT FIT.
For us at GONSO, a pair of bike shorts is only finished when it fits perfectly in all sizes – even if it’s a long, hard road to get there. We use every bit of feedback for inspiration. We test, revise, redevelop. Every idea inspires us to become even better and make sure that every pair of GONSO bike shorts you buy is your best.
DESIGN
The first step is to come up with a product idea. We select materials and components and draw up a first sketch.
Cut
To ensure a perfect fit, we break down each bike shorts model to its individual components when creating cut patterns.
PROTOTYPING
The first prototype is developed from its individual components. We use it to optimize the cut and fit.
FITTING
Because we adapt the prototype to real people instead of mannequins, we can respond more specifically to body shapes and how they change in motion.
Adjustments
Meticulous adjustments provide us with the precise values, which we then apply to the final cut of each bike shorts model. We often repeat this process several times until the prototype fits perfectly.
Size Grading
Starting from the basic size, we scale our sizes by product and body area. The non-linear scaling of our size increments makes for the perfect fit in every size. The next step is production.
