Men's Road & Gravel Kits: Common Questions
What men's road and gravel kits does Ozark Cycling Apparel offer?
Ozark Cycling Apparel carries men's road and gravel jerseys and matching bib shorts at $75 each, designed in Bentonville and inspired by the riding culture of the Ozarks. Jersey colorways include Multi Core, Charcoal Core, Grey Core, Teal Core, Ozark Sky, White Core, Blue Core, Black Polka Dot, and White Polka Dot. The Ledger Collection — a collaboration honoring The Ledger, the world's first bikable building in downtown Bentonville — adds the Ledger Mosaic and Ledger Green jerseys and bib shorts. All jerseys feature full sublimated graphics, a full-length zipper, four rear pockets including one zip pocket for valuables, and Italian fabric construction. Matching bib shorts complete each kit for a coordinated look on the road or gravel.
What is the fit and how do I choose my size?
Ozark Cycling Apparel jerseys and bib shorts are cut in a club fit — which means they fit true to size for comfortable, non-restrictive riding rather than the compressive snug fit of a race cut. If you prefer a tighter, more aerodynamic feel on the bike, size down one size from your normal measurement. For casual riding, weekend gravel adventures, and long days on the Oz Trails, the standard size provides a relaxed, comfortable ride position without the restrictiveness of a pro race kit. The Ozark Sky jersey review from a 6-foot, 155-pound rider wearing a medium describes the fit as comfortable with some ease through the torso — useful calibration for riders deciding between sizes.
What is The Ledger Collection and why is it significant?
The Ledger Collection is a collaborative line between Ozark Cycling Apparel and The Ledger — a mixed-use building in downtown Bentonville that holds the distinction of being the world's first bikable building. The Ledger was designed from the ground up for cyclists, with bike-through corridors, indoor bike parking, and direct trail access integrated into the architecture. It represents Bentonville's identity as a city where cycling is not an afterthought but a central organizing principle of how the community is built. The Ledger Collection kits — Ledger Mosaic and Ledger Green — are designed specifically to honor that culture, making them a natural choice for riders who are part of, or connected to, the NWA cycling community.
Can these kits be used for gravel riding as well as road?
Yes — the Road & Gravel Kits are specifically designed to work across both disciplines, which reflects how most riders in the Bentonville area actually ride. The Ozarks' network of paved roads, unpaved county routes, and dedicated gravel paths like the Arkansas Graveler route blend seamlessly, and a kit built exclusively for road racing would be impractical for the mixed-surface riding that defines the region. The four-pocket jersey gives you enough storage to carry nutrition, tools, and a phone for longer gravel days, and the Italian fabric manages moisture well across the effort range from steady road climbing to sustained gravel grinds. Owner Toby Teeter tested these kits across the full Arkansas Graveler route with 300 other riders — real-world validation for multi-day gravel use.
Does buying from Ozark Cycling Apparel support any charitable cause?
Yes. Ozark Cycling Apparel donates 1% of all revenue to Pedal it Forward, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Northwest Arkansas. Pedal it Forward collects used bikes, restores them, and distributes them to low-income kids, adults, and families, at-risk youth, and minority and immigrant populations in NWA through a network of 60+ community partners. The mission directly mirrors Ozark Cycling's stated goal of getting everyone on a bike — the brand generates the gear, and Pedal it Forward puts bikes in the hands of people who otherwise couldn't access them. Every kit purchase is a direct contribution to that work.
Are the jerseys and bib shorts sold separately or only as a kit?
Jerseys and bib shorts are sold separately at $75 each, which gives you the flexibility to mix colorways, build a coordinated kit, or replace individual pieces as needed without buying the full combo. Riders who already have quality bib shorts can pick up just a jersey, and those who need bibs to complete an existing kit can do so without committing to a matched pair. The matching jersey and bib short combinations are designed to work together visually — sublimated graphics that align at the waistline for a clean one-piece look — so buying both from the same colorway gives the full coordinated kit effect. Ozark Cycling Apparel ships direct from Webb City, Missouri.
