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
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.
ROADS LESS TRAVELLED
Engineered for self-sufficiency and all-day adventure. The Brevet Element range is built for those who feel compelled to get off the beaten track.
TESTED IN THE WORLD’S HARDEST ENDURANCE EVENTS
DON'T RIDE ALONE
Through the Rapha Cycling Club and our Clubhouses, we provide the skills, knowledge and company to help you progress. From 'Rapha 101' sessions, weekly Club rides to our challenging FAR events, you can ride through the rites of passage in good company.
