24 July 2025

by Specialized

History Maker

A true history maker with deep Specialized roots, Kim is the first Mauritian rider to compete in the UCI Women’s WorldTour and to wear the Yellow Jersey and win a stage at the Tour de France Femmes. 2025 also saw her become the first African cyclist to win a Monument, triumphing at Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes. 

Kim is a celebrated addition to the WorldTour peloton, continuing to inspire many by breaking barriers and proudly representing Mauritius on the global cycling stage. She delivered one of the most incredible seasons imaginable, her emphatic stage win at the Tour de France Femmes and her impressive fight to hold the Yellow Jersey until the penultimate stage provided the kind of compelling performance we follow sport for. Yet, before these historic moments and major wins, Kim started her journey in cycling with Specialized, not as a pro rider, but as a Body Geometry Fit expert.

Kim is Specialized through and through, and we couldn’t be more proud to have her in our family.

Kim on her favourite Specialized product

“I would probably say my Evade helmet. Looks rad and keeps us safe. P.S. My custom design on my Evade is the best-looking helmet out there, isn’t it?!”

Kim's Ride on the Tour

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible.
