Collection: Lizard Skins

Lizard Skins has been a part of your ride since 1993. Our mission is to design and create products to enhance the performance, comfort and style of professional and amateur athletes around the world.

Origin of the Name — Lizard Skins: “The co-founder's brother was working on a project for a college class that involved creating a name and a logo for a company. He came up with the name Lizard Skins and the original yin and yang style logo. He didn’t have any actual company in mind when he created the name and logo he just thought it would be a cool name and catchy logo. Not sure how well he did on the assignment but I would give him an “A” if I were the teacher!”

Company Beginnings: “It was extremely small. When we started, we could fit the entire business on one table. Our first ad was a twelfth page for Mountain Bike Action magazine. We had to race to FedEx to get it sent out and barely met the deadline for it. We immediately started receiving calls from the ad before we were even really ready to take them. If we had missed that ad deadline, Lizard Skins might have never taken off.” - Founder, Brian Fruit

The polymer-based formula is a unique combination of excellent gripping properties and a softness that can only be appreciated by touch.  The feel is unlike any other synthetic rubber.

In the last decade, DSP has made a lasting impact in the world of professional cycling and today Lizard Skins sponsors 2 Pro Tour cycling teams that race in all three Grand Tour cycling events including the Tour de France.
