Flex

Flex has a fresh, clear and cool look and with its structure and shine it appears expressive and bold. The smooth surface signals efficiency and precision with clear references to the world of sports – athletics, cykling and windsurfing. The characteristic structure reflects the individual colours with a sharp contrast between the shining surface and the deeper dark reflexes.
