KIT REVIEW
Renen Slope Reset MX kit review
Ticks every box you'd expect and a few you wouldn't, from odd sizing to sublimated custom graphics. Keep an eye on the glove seams.
Summary
Renen's Slope and Reset kit covers jersey, pants and gloves, and the presentation, in a branded box, sets the tone. Graphics, names and numbers are sublimated so they won't peel, the DRYCYCLE lining wicks well, and the full stretch rear panel on the pants gives an even fit. The standout is the sizing: odd sizes like 32.5in and 34.5in that almost nobody else offers. The strapless gloves are comfy, though the seams around the band could wear over time.
Pros
- Sublimated graphics, names and numbers that never peel
- Odd sizing (32.5in, 34.5in) that rivals do not offer
- DRYCYCLE moisture-wicking lining
- Full stretch rear panel gives an even fit
Cons
- Strapless glove seams may wear around the band over time
- Material does not feel high-performance to the touch at first
- Custom name and numbers cost extra
Renen’s Slope and Reset kit covers jersey, pants and gloves, and it makes a first impression before you’ve even worn it, arriving in a proper branded box. From there it ticks the boxes you’d expect and a few you wouldn’t.
The details
Graphics, names and numbers are sublimated, so they won’t peel or discolour. The DRYCYCLE lining wicks moisture well, and the full stretch rear panel on the pants gives an even fit. The strapless GC-2 gloves are comfortable with no seam irritation.
The standout, and the watch-out
The sizing is the real surprise: odd sizes like 32.5in, 33in and 34.5in that almost nobody else in the industry offers, so if you fall between standard sizes, this is worth a look. The one concern is the strapless glove seams, which could wear around the band over time. Everything’s made in Indianapolis with oversight throughout.
Who it's for
Riders who want proper custom kit with rare sizing.
Anyone between standard sizes who never gets a good fit.
Riders who want sublimated graphics that last.
Who it's not for
Riders who want a premium performance feel from the fabric.
Anyone hard on gloves who needs maximum seam durability.
Budget buyers.
Bottom line
A well-presented custom kit that does the basics well and offers sizing nobody else does. Watch the glove seams, but the jersey and pants impress.
Common questions
What's the sizing like, and will it fit me if I'm between standard sizes?
This is the kit's best trick. Renen do odd waist sizes like 32.5in, 33in and 34.5in, which almost nobody else in the industry offers. If you've spent years choosing between pants that gape or pinch, that's a proper reason to look. The pants also have a full stretch rear panel for an even fit.
Will the graphics and my name and number last?
Yes. Graphics, names and numbers are all sublimated, meaning they're dyed into the fabric rather than stuck on top, so they won't peel or discolour with washing and wear. Worth knowing the custom name and numbers cost extra, so factor that in when you're pricing up a kit.
Any weak spots I should know about before buying?
Two things. The strapless GC-2 gloves are comfortable with no seam irritation, but the seams around the band look like they could wear over time, so if you're hard on gloves keep an eye there. The jersey and pants material also doesn't feel especially high-performance to the touch at first.
Who is this kit actually for?
Riders who want proper custom kit and, above all, anyone stuck between standard sizes who's never had pants fit right. The DRYCYCLE lining wicks well and it arrives in a branded box, which sets the tone. It's not a budget buy, and if you want a premium performance feel from the fabric, look elsewhere.
