All Eyes on 2026
As the leaves turn brown and the clocks fall back at a time of taking things slow, we are very much doing the opposite. With 3 new clients added to the WORKWITH roster this month, it’s all systems GO - who’s complaining? We’re wildly waving aboard Polygon Bikes, TORQ and STASHED to the top deck. Time to find our bearings, plot a course and pull anchor - full steam ahead sounds about right.
Polygon Bikes
Big hitters in the bike world, Polygon span the full spectrum of disciplines of the two-wheeled - you name it, they’ve got a model for it. They’re committed to performance, style and rideability above all else, kitting out multiple pro teams through the years in road and MTB. What’s exciting (for us at least) is that Polygon is a lesser-known name here in the UK. Those in the know, know… but there’s a lot to go after and we’re loving where the convo’s going.
Based in Sidoarjo Indonesia, Polygon own their manufacturing facilities outright - what does that mean? Simply put, their product development team are—literally—a stone's throw away from the testing facilities and production line. We’ve advised them not to throw stones around, but you get the idea - strict quality control, no corners cut and PROPER good bikes built by people who know their hubs from their handlebars.
About the Brand:
“For over 35 years, we have been designing, building and engineering world class bicycles in partnership with engineers, industrial designers, creative thinkers and professional riders based in North America, Europe, and Asia. We are passionate about innovation and work hard each season to produce fresh and authentic designs with global relevance.”
TORQ Performance Nutrition
Science-backed, UK-based nutrition brand TORQ are next on the list. They’re old hands in the endurance sport ecosystem, fueling athletes on land, on two wheels and in the water for over 25 years. With ex pro XC rider Matt Hart at the helm, TORQ take no shortcuts when it comes to results, their DNA drenched in innovation and industry firsts with a big focus on organic, Fairtrade and 100% natural ingredients.
Since our tasting session at HQ, the WORKWITH team have been hooked - pockets filled to bursting with gels, jellies and energy bars. There was talk of a lunch run but things wore off before we could lace up our Terrex. Gutted. Still seriously tasty though - ‘Apple Crumble’, 'Rhubarb & Custard’ and ‘Lemon Drizzle’ among the crowd favourites. We’ll be partnering closely to bring TORQ’s story and products to life, delivering high-value digital campaigns across CRM and paid media channels.
About the Brand:
“TORQ is a research-driven and evidence-based performance nutrition brand with over 25 years in production. Our sole aim is to develop higher functioning products than anyone else, by using only the most potent natural, and in many cases organic ingredients, with no artificial colours or sweeteners.”
STASHED Products
Look familiar? Likely Founder Elliot’s viral Dragon’s Den appearance that kindled a mass need for innovative bike storage systems to trump the “stack ‘em up in the shed” approach. These things are engineered to the nth degree - providing a super slick space-saving solution that makes storing and accessing your full quiver of bikes a breeze.
Over the coming months, we’ll be partnering closely with STASHED to catapult their products to new audiences on a global scale across CRM and paid media channels. We’ll also be searching out PR opportunities that hit their target audience and hook—pun intended—new customers into all things STASHED. Got too many bikes and nowhere to put them? Isn’t that a coincidence…
About the Brand:
“As far back as I can remember, it’s always been about bikes. Riding, racing, commuting, maintaining and even designing them. When our daughter was born I faced a decision – sell some bikes or design a more effective way to store them. Now, nothing makes me happier than knowing our products have helped thousands of customers all over the world to create dream bike spaces of their own.”
And it doesn’t stop there… we’ve got some exciting WWS updates as the ball drops on 2026, but let’s leave it there for now.
Plenty to mull over.
