Bio-Racer N.V.

“Man as the measure of all things”
It is no coincidence that a modern day version of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Man as the measure of all things” has a prominent position in the Bio-Racer logo. From the early beginnings of our company science has been used to the benefit of the cyclist and his equipment. And vice versa.

At the start of the 1980′s the sport of cycling tries to change its image of the plodding, lonely Flandrien, slaving away on his own. The computer and science make their entry into the peloton, mainly with an eye to medical supervision. The cyclist’s most important piece of equipment is still badly served by science. A shortcoming.

Raymond Vanstraelen is in agreement. In 1984 he decides to employ the experience which he gained as a cyclist and coach of top cyclists, his technical knowledge and that of others, to accomplish a mission: a new generation of cyclists provided with equipment and clothing which is literally made to measure. Bio-Racer, a contraction of “Biomechanics” and “Racer”, is born.

Their completely own vision with regard to the position on the bicycle – most cyclists adopted an incorrect posture – results in a unique but universal computerized measuring system: the Bio Racer Bike Fitting System. The concept immediately proves its worth as various top cyclists further enhanced their list of victories and that they partly attribute that to a newly worked out cycling posture. Nowadays the professional peloton can no longer be thought of without the Bio-Racer measuring system and it is the standard for the recreational cyclist.

On the highest podium

Bio-Racer’s modern, scientific approach leaves a deep impression behind in the conservative cycling world. For the first time, but certainly not for the last. After the bicycle the young company focuses itself on the cyclist’s clothing, which until then offered little in the way of comfort. At first in collaboration with a Swiss textile manufacturer and later completely independent with its own range of clothes and silk-screen printing facility.

The use of Lycra, the first seamless chamois, the innovative cut of a cycling jersey. These are just a few of the innovations for which the cycling world will be thankful to Bio-Racer for years to come. Classics, World Cup races, world titles and Olympic honours. The list of prize winners that has been accumulated in our equipment is incredibly impressive. The position of market leader in the Benelux in the area of qualitative club attire is perhaps an even better award.

The garage where the success story began has in the meantime literally come apart at the seams. The first company premises were opened in 1989. Less than fifteen years later a second move to an ultramodern design and production workshop follows. Here we continue to carry out further pioneering work, develop new products and opportunities, based on sound scientific research. And in the future the cyclist and his comfort will still play a central role.

Product Information
05.15 Dressings for wounds
ReSkin Allround Patch 01.09.2008

Alongside the ReSkin® for cyclists, BioRacer also developed a product that can be used anywhere on the body where one experiences rubbing. Blisters on yourfeet and friction from clothing are some examples of where you can apply theAllround patch to prevent rubbing. Skiing, ice skating, running, horse riding, motocross, cross-country racing and walking are just some sports that can nowbe enjoyed without discomfort when ReSkin® is applied.

The following applies to all types of ReSkin® products:

• Apply ReSkin® directly to the skin wherever rubbing causes problems. Apply ReSkin® to clean dry skin. Cut the ReSkin® to the correct size to get agood adhesive bond between the skin and the product. ReSkin® willimmediately relieve pain in areas where rubbed skin is a problem.
• The bi-elasticity of the product (two-directional stretch) creates relief from rubbing by transferring it. Friction now takes place between theReskin® and the other materials rather than on the skin. It therefore acts like a second artificial layer of skin .
• ReSkin® is breathable, skin-friendly and painless to remove. The specially created adhesive barely removes a single hair from your body.
• The special adhesive used on the surface of the ReSkin® products conformsto ISO 10993-1 and has been tested for cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, and intracutaneous irritation.

ReSkin Bike Patch 01.09.2008

Pain due to friction from your cycling shorts while cycling is a phenomenon that is very common among cyclists. This can seriously affect the performance of professional cyclists. If this pain can be prevented, performance is bound to increase. Not only that, the pleasure of the amateur biker will increase too.

ReSkin® is the latest innovation from Bio-Racer that solves this problem. Combining a specially perforated type of Lycra® with a specially created silicon coating has resulted in a skin-friendly product with outstanding qualities.

Our product ReSkin® has been put on the market only after extensive testing in both the laboratory and the field. It’s skin friendly, painlessly removeable, washable and reusable. World class cyclists are already using ourproduct with great success. Also very useful for amateurs!

• ReSkin® is applied to the perineum. The perineum is the piece of skin between the anus and the genitals. The perineal area contains sweat glands,hair follicles and sebaceous glands that can often become irritated by rubbing,leading to an infection.
• We advise ladies to cut the strip off along the dotted line marked on the product for enhanced comfort while using ReSkin®.

ReSkin Feet Patch 01.09.2008

The ReSkin R&D team is always searching to find solutions against different types of friction induced wounds. At this time, ReSkin has developed patches like the Bike Patch, the Allround Patch and the Motocross Patch.Now, ReSkin introduces a new form, designed specifically to protect the feet from friction, the ReSkin Feet Patch.
This new shape can be used in different positions on the feet, and is from the same high-grade material as it’s predecessors.
