This week in London Mark Cavendish revealed his CVNDSH Collection by Specialized, a range of signature jerseys, shorts, helmets and shoes with a green colour scheme, paying homage to the Tour de France green points jersey. The brand actually launched last year with a Specialized Venge road bike painted in the signature green and black colour scheme.
The range includes two jerseys, bib shorts, a helmet, shoes and socks, plus the Specialized Edition S-Works Venge launched a year ago. While the range appears to be current Specialized products in a new colour with Mark's signature, such as the Evade aero helmet pictured above, Mark insists he was involved with the development of the range.
“The bottom line is that the pieces are just so, so good,” explained Mark. “It isn’t just my name on a jersey because I’ll never do that. I believe in the equipment, I personally helped design them with the team and I believe in the ability they have to help a rider be the fastest they can be."
There's no word on pricing or availability at the time or writing. More info on the range can be seen at www.specialized.com

How do you actually pronounce
How do you actually pronounce ‘CVNDSH’? Are all the vowels missing to save weight or to improve aero performance?

that’s got to be the biggest anti climax to a ‘signature’ collection I’ve ever seen. “green colour scheme”…. well, I’ve heard less is more but that is ridiculous as I’m sure the price will be :O

I like the name CVNDSH… it means you can customise your choice of vowels. I think Civondash is my favourite.

All this makes me wonder whether SKY is really a contraction of something else. Maybe they are actually Team Soakey. They sound a lot more splishy-splashy and fun-loving that way! Go Team Soakey! Leave them sopping!

The shoes are only a tenner (£20 in some cases) more than their branded equivalent from spesh btw…..a tenners markup on retail is probably reasonable enough tbh. Though I think the spesh shoes are ridiculously priced anyway!

Did Cav ask for all the vowels to be removed to ensure that Specialised wouldn’t sue him for having the same name as one of their product ranges?

Haha good point! Saying that, they don’t let simple things like words being spelt differently stop them (Allez/Alize), or worry about who had the name first!
