The Rites of Passage

Every rider has a moment where they realise cycling will be a lifelong pursuit. At Rapha, we’ve spent two decades crafting the kit to accompany you in those moments.

FORGED ON THE ROAD

FORGED ON THE ROAD

Rapha exists because of a love for the sport of cycling. Founded in 2004 with a single merino wool jersey, we are now outfitting the world’s most connected community of riders. We understand the rites of passage because we’ve lived every single one of them, and we know what rewards are reaped on the other side. We craft the apparel to help you navigate yours.

  • CLUBHOUSES

    A home away from home for riders in 18 cities worldwide. Inside you’ll find a retail space stocked with the latest Rapha apparel, a café serving fine coffee and food, as well as an extensive programme of live racing, rides and events.

  • RCC

    The Rapha Cycling Club is the world’s most connected network of cyclists. United by a love of the sport, it’s a place for riders to commit, compete, and create fierce camaraderie together. A global community with a local spirit, Members unlock access to a host of exclusive benefits, elite services, and special events that no other club can offer.

  • SUSTAINABILITY

    Our materials are the biggest driver of our environmental impact. To tackle this, we focus on fabrics that create the best-performing products with the smallest environmental impact. The Core Jersey and Bib Shorts, for example, are constructed from a majority of recycled materials.

  • PRODUCTS

    Two decades of refinement and counting. We produce performance apparel and accessories for every step of your journey, from first ride to five-hundredth.

CORE COLLECTION

Everything you need, nothing you don’t. High-performance needn't be complicated. Our Core Collection is the result of years of refinement, distilling the Rapha DNA into the essential kit for every rider’s daily training.

  • JERSEYS

    Comfortable, breathable and ready to accompany you on daily rides and the longest weekend escapes.

  • BIBS + TIGHTS

    All-day support and durability thanks to soft, woven fabrics and the same Italian chamois we use in our Classic Bib Shorts.

  • JACKETS + GILETS

    Essential protection for the unpredictable conditions you’ll encounter throughout the season.

  • ACCESSORIES

    From the finishing touches to your outfit to vital pre-ride rituals like applying chamois cream, we cater to all a rider needs.
