Specialist Spotlight: Tucano Urbano

Arriving at the two-wheel scene with the introduction of the Termoscud®, the original leg cover, in 1999, Tucano Urbano finally found a solution to a comfortable ride, even in winter months, without the need for bulky winter kit or the need to check the weather report before every ride. Since then, Tucano Urbano has applied its innovative approach to life on two wheels to every product, creating a line-up of clever solutions including heated kit, super-compact rainwear, and versatile apparel that can be worn both on and off the bike.

More model-specific designs and design improvements such as thermal control, anti-theft and smart holder systems were introduced, using materials and systems to ensure the rider stays warm and dry, such as Hydroscud® and Windbreaker fabrics. Tucano Urbano’s Reflactive® system gives visibility on-demand with retractable reflective panels that can be exposed in poor visibility or low-light conditions, or hidden under the collar, cuffs and hood.

Tucano Urbano expanded its operations outside of Italy but stuck to its urban rider’s core market, using modern technology paired with quality materials and an abundance of creativity to create functional yet stylish clothing.

Research & Development and design is all done in Milan, ensuring Italian flair is core to every product, and the Italian brand’s two new offf-shoots: TU Bike, the new range for urban cyclists, and T.ur, designed specifically for touring and off-road riders.  This means the original brand can stick to its chosen market, giving other riders their specialist kit and brand identity.

In 2021, Tucano Urbano was acquired by the Mandelli Group.  Mandelli was already involved with several companies in the motorcycle sector (such as Dellorto, Magneti Marelli and Oxford). This gives Tucano Urbano support to further expand and develop its range, such as the Airscud Airbag vest (developed in conjunction with In&motion), an innovative vest that can be worn over or under existing clothing, or by adding sleeves, can be converted into a stand-alone jacket.
