Brand Values

• •Performance & Durability
• •Quality & Reliability
• •British Heritage & Manufacturing
• •Rider-Focused Comfort & Control

Best Practices

• •Prioritize Performance Language: Consistently use strong verbs and specific adjectives that convey performance, precision, strength, and innovation (e.g., "engineered," "optimized," "robust," "responsive," "pioneering").
• •Highlight British Engineering & Quality: Subtly weave in mentions of UK design, engineering, or manufacturing where appropriate, as it’s a key brand differentiator and value.
• •Speak to the Informed Cyclist: While avoiding overly alienating jargon, assume a certain level of technical understanding and passion for cycling from the audience. Focus on tangible benefits derived from technical features.
• •Maintain a Confident but Not Arrogant Stance: Project expertise and belief in the product's superiority, backed by heritage and innovation, without sounding boastful. Let the product's performance speak.
• •Be Visually Congruent: Ensure that the imagery and video content accompanying the copy align with the high-performance, sleek, and often technical aesthetic the brand portrays on its website and Instagram. The "stealth matt black with gloss black details" look mentioned in the BikeBiz article is a good example.
