Brand Tone

Brand Values

• •Innovation and Design Excellence
• •Passion for the Ride
• •Durability and Quality
• •Community and Authenticity
• •Progression and Empowerment

Best Practices

• •Use "Feeling" Language: Center the copy around sensory and emotional experiences. Use verbs and headlines that evoke a feeling, such as "Feel the Power," "Experience the Rush," or "Unlock Your Glide."
• •Speak from the "We" of the Crew: Write as if you are part of the community. Use inclusive pronouns like "we" and "us" and address the audience as the "crew." This reinforces the brand value of community and shared passion.
• •Embrace the Rebel Spirit: Don't be afraid to be a little defiant. Frame the brand as an alternative to the hyper-competitive mainstream. Use phrases that challenge the status quo, like "We aren't in it to win it" or "Built for the ride, not the race."
• •Ground Innovation in Authenticity: When talking about new technology, connect it back to the brand's origin story of tinkering and passion. Explain that innovation comes from being "mad scientists," not from a sterile lab. This makes high-tech features feel more authentic and less corporate.
• •Balance Performance with Durability: In every product description, highlight both the high-end performance features (e.g., "explosive pop," "effortless glide") and the rugged, "bomb-proof" construction. This dual focus addresses the key purchasing drivers of both performance-hungry athletes and practical, long-term investors.
