Beyond the Bike

Cycling is more than just a sport, it’s a way of life. Our newly expanded lifestyle collections take inspiration from cycling culture past and present while making use of the most technical fabrics for unmatched comfort and style. With this season’s new additions, the range now has you completely covered for life beyond the bike.

MECHANICS

Behind every pristine, race-winning machine, there is a devoted bike mechanic. Our latest collection of off-bike casualwear is modelled on the hard-wearing outfits developed for pro mechanics down the years. Inspired by the workshop but designed to be worn anywhere, the collection pairs satisfyingly substantial fabrics and rubberised rivets for long lasting durability. Subtle styling means you can pair these garments with anything and, as ever with our lifestyle collections, there are subtle nods to cycling heritage throughout.

COMMUTER

A bit of sunshine before nine, some time to unwind after the daily grind. Just like the little things that make a cyclist’s working week better, the Commuter collection is packed with practical details that improve your ride to work. Reflective details stand out in traffic but not in the office; durable, breathable fabrics keep you consistently comfortable; and conveniently placed pockets keep your keys close to hand. For the cut and thrust of city riding, this collection is trusted by couriers and commuters around the world.

TRANSFER

Cycling has changed much over the years, but it never gets any easier. Working in collaboration with a world-leading textile innovation studio, we’ve completely overhauled our Pro Team Transfer collection, taking rest and recovery for racers to the next level. With engineered knit technology at its heart, the new collection consists of highly technical garments that are fit for the modern professional and would have made Merckx envious. Racing cyclists work hard and this is their post-race reward.

EXPLORE

Most at home when you’re far from yours, the Explore collection is adventure apparel designed for comfort and performance in the wilderness. For self-sufficiency and versatility in the back of beyond, we’ve ensured each garment in this collection functions on and off the bike. Whether you’re riding, hike-a-biking or setting up camp, our Down Jackets, GoreTex Jackets and Technical Pullovers adapt to any adventure; and there’s the new, super soft Brevet Hoodie for planning the next one.

LOGO

Over the last fifteen years, the Rapha logo has scaled the loftiest heights in cycling. It’s stood atop the podium in Paris and gone the distance in the Transcontinental Race. Now, it lends a name to our most versatile off-bike range: the Logo collection. Emblazoned with chain-stitched logos reminiscent of traditional woolen jerseys, the collection features super soft materials and relaxed fits, perfect for fans of the sport and followers of Rapha.
