Rapha debuts new race-ready kit

Published June 21, 2019

Criterium racing is a discipline apart. More intense, more fiery and less formal than road racing, it suits punchier riders who race with flair as well as form. The Rapha Crit Collection is the kit to match, made for railing corners and turning heads.

Incorporating reflective logos for night races, specially designed see-through pockets for race numbers, and a sleek, minimal design for speed, the Crit Collection has been designed for the specific needs of circuit racing.

Consisting of an aerosuit, jersey, bib shorts and women's jersey, the collection features a silver fabric dye to resemble an oil slick and is inspired by the notion of moving through the city landscape.

The Crit aerosuit and jersey feature three rear pockets overlaid with a layer of transparent mesh. A small opening allows you to slide your race number beneath the outer mesh layer, where it will still be visible, or pin it to the suit without damaging it.

The Pro Team Crit bib shorts and Crit aerosuit are cut longer in the leg, and the redesigned Pro Team bibs have been constructed with a single seam in the shorts to streamline airflow for aerodynamic advantage. The jersey is available in gray and blue.

The men's and women's Pro Team jersey in both colors is $165; Pro Team bib shorts $245; Pro Team aerosuit $315.
