If you’ve been following Taiwan’s cycling scene, the name Shuwei Hsu — nicknamed “Rocket Raccoon”
— should
sound familiar. In 2023, she claimed
3rd overall and 1st among Taiwanese riders in the KOM Women’s Elite
category
, and since then has become a regular presence on the podium at major races.
As a sports therapist, Shuwei first entered endurance sports through triathlon. Over time,
she discovered her
true passion in cycling, eventually choosing to focus on road racing. Yet her achievements go beyond the road
— she has also delivered impressive results in mountain biking, proving herself as a versatile,
dual-discipline rider.
A strong athlete deserves strong support. To meet her race demands,
ttbici developed the a Line Lightweight
Skinsuit, equipping Shuwei
with the performance gear she needs to conquer every race.
Beyond Racing: Comfort Meets Performance
- Breathability – to sustain performance under heat and long distances.
- Aerodynamic fit without restriction – close-fitting yet comfortable.
- Chamois comfort – the key to maintaining posture and power over extended rides.
When asked what makes a good cycling kit, Shuwei kept it simple but essential:
First Impressions of ttbici a Line
“The moment I put it on, I was blown away by the fabric!” she recalls with a smile.
The a Line series is crafted from ultra-light, stretch-woven performance fabric, giving her a
second-skin fit
with aerodynamic efficiency, whether in training or competition.
The bib shorts are equipped with the Elastic Interface® chamois from Italy, renowned
worldwide. Despite its
lightweight construction, it provides excellent support and comfort, helping her stay consistent during
long-distance efforts and high-intensity sessions.
“As riders, a jersey is never just clothing — it’s the key to whether we can truly give 100% on race day.”
A Shared Spirit with the Brand
One detail of the a Line Team Jersey stood out to her:
“I knew it! That string of numbers is Pi (π) — and it resembles the ttbici logo. Just like cycling, where our
legs constantly trace circles, driving the chainring and wheels forward. Everything in cycling connects back
to Pi.”
For her, such details reflect not just design, but
a brand philosophy of infinite progression and relentless
pursuit of excellence.
Looking Ahead
In 2025, Shuwei has set her sights on the National Games, hoping to once again make her mark
on Taiwan’s
cycling stage.
“Racing is all about constant breakthroughs, and our equipment is the most important partner in that journey.”
With the ttbici a Line kit, Shuwei isn’t just the “Rocket Raccoon” — she’s a rider who
redefines her limits
every time she takes to the road.
