Human Powered Health Cyclists Will Sport Custom Maisie Wilen Designs; Factor Bikes Incorporates Motif and Produces Limited Edition Bicycles

MINNEAPOLIS, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a first of its kind collaboration, Human Powered Health cyclists competing in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift that begins August 12 will be sporting new eye-popping jerseys designed by an acclaimed and emerging fashion house, Maisie Wilen.

The changeout new uniforms reflect Human Powered Health’s brand color gradient, with a design inspired by the flowing aerodynamics and markings of fish scales. The pattern, a variation of a print used previously in the Maisie Wilen collection, was selected after months of careful consideration and collaboration with a design team led by Maisie Wilen’s Founder and Creative Director, Maisie Schloss, along with Human Powered Health’s Chief Creative Officer, Sam Wiebe

“Maisie is incredible to work with. She brought an entirely unique vision and approach to the new kits,” said Wiebe. “We wanted to do something distinctive for this year’s race and her design will absolutely turn heads.”

“I immediately jumped at the opportunity to bring Maisie Wilen’s unique aesthetic to one of the biggest women’s sporting events in the world,” says Schloss. “Human Powered Health Cycling is made up of such inspiring, strong athletes and I’m honored to be a part of this incredible event.”

The new design will be implemented across the team’s full line of racing apparel that includes a jersey and a vest, and a specially painted racing bike that will be provided by team sponsor Factor Bikes. The bike will be available for purchase through Factor bikes, and the racing kits in both men’s and women’s sizes can be purchased for a limited time on Pactimo.com.

“For Human Powered Health, women’s cycling represents the pinnacle of endurance athletics. As women’s sports enjoy long overdue growth and greater exposure around the world, we felt that it was the perfect time to celebrate with Maisie’s standout design work,” says Human Powered Health Managing Director Charles Aaron.
