History
In the first ten years, Clover was specialized exclusively in the off-road/Adventure sector and, in particular, motocross, acquiring a good level of notoriety with the sponsorship of champions of the like of Eric Geboers, five times world champion.
Since 1990, simultaneously to the shift of the market from motocross to the road due to the increasing of naturalistic constraints, Clover began to take an interest in the street motorcycle market.
Mainly engaging in motorbike tourism clothing, but gradually more and more also in the sports motorcycle market.
It was in these years that the brand started sponsoring motorbike riders in order to get direct feedback on the construction of his sports garments.
In that period three world titles in the 125cc class with Andrea Dovizioso (2004), Alvaro Bautista (2006) and Mike Di Meglio (2008), were acquired by the company.
With the know-how gained from these two worlds and the creation of Adventure garments since the early 1980s, the company currently has its core business in the tourist and adventure line, creating garments that fear neither weather conditions nor environmental, no matter how adverse they may be.

The company has become an active part in the evolution of technical motorcycle clothing, especially for having introduced the ventilation system and the concept of multilayer clothing particularly suited to the "trans-climatic" routes of large journeys.
