QUOC Lalashan Collection : Limitless Adventure

In the latter part of 2022, 700 took the decision to reposition ourselves. To strip back, refocus and re-discover what cycling means to us all. To find The Way again.

As part of this process we made decisions to cull brands from our line-up that didn't share our approaches to retail and our cycling ethos. Some decisions were tough. Throughout this process we identified brands that we believe offer a unique take on aspects of the sport, have a defined style that is not always in line with the mass market, that offer a USP and where possible are British - all or in part, in order to minimise our impact on the environment in which we ride.

Along with UDOG, we also took on QUOC in the back half of last year. But we didn't shout about it, choosing to reveal them in-line with their 2023 product launch since we knew what was coming!

So, here it is.

The 2023 QUOC Lalashan Collection is inspired by nature, adapted to nature and built for your return to nature.

Conceived on a ride in the rich forests and adventure trails of Northern Taiwan's Lalashan Mountain Range, with a summit peak of 2,031 metres, it was the abundant mushrooms discovered there that inspired the pastel colours and organic air hole patterns of the brand new 2023 Lalashan range.

The launch introduces the highly anticipated Gran Tourer XC, a performance adaptation of the brand’s best-selling Gran Tourer range, featuring a carbon composite midsole. Also launching are the Escape Road and Escape Off-Road shoes, with a newly-developed line built for riders who stop at nothing in their pursuit of adventure. They share an accessible price tag with zero compromises on quality. The collection is completed with the Lala Slide, a premium, off-bike slip-on, and QUOC's first entry into lifestyle-led "athleisure" products.
