Welcome NICA Coaches & Student-Athletes!
We’re proud to partner with NICA for the first time, and to give you exclusive access to our gear, community, and mission.
Cognative MTB has been designing and testing high-performance mountain bike apparel for years, including custom work for top-tier partners like Michelin and Öhlins. All of our product development happens on the rugged singletrack surrounding our Western North Carolina HQ and now we’re excited to bring that experience to the NICA community. Elevate your ride with trail-ready performance—built for the trail, trusted in town.
