We believe that our industry can do better for riders.
Driven by our experience and love for riding, we identified challenges in women's mountain biking apparel, where a blend of comfort, technical performance, and style proved difficult. Determined to fill these gaps for women and all riders, we set out to create premium mountain bike clothing that excels in fit, technical features, and style.
As we travel across Australia, we immerse ourselves in local riding communities to design and test gear that truly benefits all riders - from weekend warriors to young families and seasoned racers of all ages. NVR LOST is committed to designing advanced apparel that combines quality and innovation. Our clothing makes mountain biking comfortable, stylish, and seamless, allowing all riders to stay focused on the ride and enjoy the adventure.
Meet Stef
Meet Stef, the driving force behind NVR LOST. From designing and testing our cutting-edge mountain bike apparel to engaging with the NVR LOST community at events, Stef is dedicated to improving your riding experience. Stef’s journey began with mountain biking in Perth in 2016 and quickly evolved into a passion that took her across Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Her love for adventure is matched by her expertise, with a background in psychology, nutrition, and exercise sports science that informs every piece of gear we create. Whether she is riding or meeting fellow enthusiasts, Stef’s commitment is to bring you apparel that elevates every ride. She even met her fiancé, Laine, on the trails—a reminder of how the journey is as important as the destination.
Meet Laine
Laine is NVR LOST’s dedicated test rider, known for pushing our gear to its limits—sometimes literally. After breaking his hand and dislocating his shoulder while testing our first range, he remains the brave problem-solver of the team. Laine’s mountain biking journey began at fourteen in New Zealand where he navigated rugged, hand-cut trails. His determination led to competing in national and regional events, as well as the Oceania Games, with several podium finishes. Since moving to Australia in 2013, Laine has settled in Perth, where he continues to blend his passions for travel and mountain biking. Alongside Stef and their dog, Suei, Laine loves exploring the country with his not-so-camouflaged Unimog.
Meet Elijah
Elijah's passion for mountain biking ignited during his late teens, quickly evolving from exploring national parks to conquering MTB trails packed with jumps, drops, and single tracks. After a few gnarly crashes and a steep learning curve, he found his tribe with the "Thursday Night Faffers" - a group of riders who became lifelong friends. He progressed from local Perth rides to competing in the Open Enduro World Cup in Tasmania, where a chance encounter in 2023 with Laine and Stef on a shuttle bus led to a close friendship forged over countless laps of Air-ya-Garn. A defining moment in Elijah's MTB career was racing at the Maydena Gravity Fest, where he hit the biggest jumps of his life.
