New year, new team!

Although it's been clear for a while through social media and our new kit that Naked Bikes is changing for 2014, we've not blogged about it yet.

Now we've submitted the forms signed in triplicate to the wonderful folks at British Cycling we can finally reveal that our new team name for 2014 is..... Naked Bikes/Haibike/ImpSport RT!







As you can see, we're working with some great new sponsors, and we're really proud to have them on board.

First up is Haibike, distributed in the UK by Raleigh. You'll also notice the Raleigh logo on the jersey, something those of us in the team old enough to remember the 1970s are particularly proud of!



Raleigh are thankfully still a force to be reckoned with in world cycling (check out their new CX bikes for proof), and are responsible for bringing the fabulous Haibike brand to these shores. Those in the know may have heard of this superb German brand, and there's some real excitement in the team about getting our hands on our race bikes for next season.

Most of us have opted for the Greed Team 29 for next season, with the fabulous SRAM XX1 set-up, but the range includes full-suspension options too. As you'd imagine, the Naked Bikes shop has access to the full range of Haibikes, with new stocks just in.

Next up on the jersey, and responsible for the jerseys themselves, is Impsport. We're proud to be working with the UK's largest manufacturer of Custom Cycling Clothing, Triathlon Clothing and Athletics Clothing, and having them provide our kit.

Although not in the team name, we're still pleased to say we're partnering up with Uvex, the manufacturers of fine cycling head protection, and continuing our fantastic relationships with local big names Sturgess Motor Group and Hewitt Ladders.

A big thanks to everyone for backing us - roll on 2014!
