Crafted at the Speed Shop
Pearl Izumi states that its Speed Shop is "an experimental skunk works division tasked with one, clear directive: go faster."
It claims to work with elite athletes to distinguish problems and seek out opportunities with the goal of "identifying what's next before anyone else even recognizes it." The resulting products are claimed to be singularly focused on aerodynamics and speed.
