Rapha, the Apple of the vélo and well known for its high-quality, stylish cycling kit, has today launched its new Custom range. Designed with groups in mind, the two ranges – Pro Team and Classic, for men and women – can be customised to your preferences at Rapha's website. Now, your sportif team can boss the peloton in intimidatingly matching outfits, or you can amuse fellow road riders by having “my other bike is a Pinarello” written on the back of your jersey.
The Pro Team range is the leading edge of Rapha’s performance technology whilst Classic is aimed at a more casual, but still reasonably affluent, rider. Order quantities start from five with discounts up to 40% on large orders, making the kit ideal for cycling clubs, businesses, friends taking on a sportive together, or perhaps a committed cycle commuter who wants a personalised Monday to Friday riding wardrobe.
To create your customised kit, simply head over to rapha.cc (opens in new tab) and select an item of clothing. Then use the simple design tool to pick your colours and patterns and add your team or sponsor logos. Once you've placed your order, you'll get delivery within eight weeks.
The Rapha kit is simple to customise to your choice
The following items are available in the range:
- Pro Team Midweight Jersey: midweight performance jersey for training and racing in mild to warm weather.
- Pro Team Bib Shorts: high performance bib shorts for training and racing.
- Pro Team Long Sleeve Aero Jersey: aerodynamic jersey for your fastest rides and races.
- Pro Team Lightweight Gilet: easy to pack and perfect when the temperature drops.
- Pro Team Sleeveless Base Layer: base layer made from a breathable performance fabric.
- Lightweight arm warmers
- Classic Flyweight Jersey: cool, light jersey for hot and humid conditions.
Rapha says that its Custom range will continue to expand over the course of this year to include the Core range as well as extended Classic styles with jerseys from as low as £50 within larger orders.
