SYN Global Cycling apparel

SYN (formerly known as The Belay Syndicate) is a contemporary cycling apparel brand that originated in Germany. The brand's roots are deeply tied to a family-run textile factory in Saxony, specifically Chemnitz, which has specialized in high-performance sports garments since the early 1990s.

Today, SYN operates as a global cycling community and brand, focusing on high-performance kits like jerseys and bib shorts. While the design and heritage are German, the manufacturing is primarily centered in Europe, with a major production base in Portugal to leverage traditional craftsmanship alongside modern technical fabric engineering. The brand is currently owned and managed by Biehler Sportswear GmbH & Co. KG, maintaining its connection to the original family leadership that founded the textile company.
