RAPHA CORE
Your reliable companion for everyday training.
THE RITES OF PASSAGE
There is no better feeling than realising you’re a rider. Along the way, there will be many rites of passage. Lessons to be learned. Rules of the road. Some written, some not. Designed to be everything you need and nothing you don’t. Rapha Core is the reliable companion for a world of new encounters. From the first time you have to clip in at a light to your first century.
THE CORE JERSEY
Refined for everyday riding. Made from 100% recycled polyester, delivering the breathability you need for spring and summer temperatures.
THE CORE LIGHTWEIGHT JERSEY
For the most demanding days out, when keeping your body temperature lower is vital. Lightweight, quick-drying mesh fabrics maximise airflow to keep you cool.
THE CORE LONG SLEEVE JERSEY
An essential cold-weather companion ideal for training, easy rides, or commutes. Brushed back thermal fabrics ensure all-day warmth.
CONSISTENT COMFORT
Our Core Bib Shorts feature our signature Classic chamois.
Developed in Italy, our signature seat pad was designed with a focus on maximizing comfort for all-day riding. We chose this premium foundation for our Core Bib Shorts to ensure elite performance and reliable support on every journey.
CORE CONDITIONS
For the coldest and windiest days, opt for our Merino Base Layer as a foundation, pairing with the Core Winter Bib Tights and Core Winter Jacket. For cool, but not cold rides in spring and autumn, the same Merino Base Layer can be paired with the Core Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey with a Core Rain Jacket packed in a rear pocket for downpours and downhills. For the warmest summer rides, opt for a Mesh Base Layer to help wick moisture away from your body quickly, pairing with a Core Lightweight Jersey.
A versatile collection ready to keep you riding all year.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON’t.
The Rapha Core Collection is ideal for your first, fiftieth, or five-hundredth ride. Designed for all-day comfort using breathable, recycled materials, these versatile layers are ideal for daily training.
