It delivers a fit based on specific body shapes using Dimensioning Technology (DT). Staark asserts that its innovative designs target cycling and indoor/spin for both men and women, with future diffusion into the wider Athleisure market, which is set to be worth $517 billion by 2025. The company has indicated that Spring 2021 is when it expects to launch its products.
