Over the coming months Rapha Custom will showcase collaborations with artists from around the world, with designs inspired by each artist’s local riding. Each collaboration will be available to buy in strictly limited numbers in the artist’s local Clubhouse.

For years, riding in the rain was a question of fortitude – clocking up lots of winter miles with soggy feet and a case of the shivers was a mark of a determined rider.

If you had a famous cycling father, you’d be forgiven for giving the bike a wide berth – especially when you share a name. But Miguel Indurain has found his own road. After gaining a degree in business, he chose to ride for the love of adventure.

Kelton Wright lives in Topanga with a dog called Cooper and a cat called Finn. Working as Director of Movement and Sport at Headspace, Wright is a published author and keen cyclist, leading rides from Rapha Santa Monica.

The first layer of your cycling wardrobe is the foundation for comfort on the bike.

Built from the ground up, over two years from sketch to shoe box, our new Explore and Classic cycling shoes mark a step change for Rapha. We spoke to the designers and wear testers to get the lowdown.

Three new chamois pads designed specifically for women, each three years in the making, all with a single goal: to make our women’s cycling shorts the most comfortable in the world.

Enjoying your ride shouldn’t come down to a game of chance. Plan ahead, check the forecast and make sure you’re ready to cycle through the best and the worst of the weather with versatile clothing that allows you to be flexible.

The key to comfortable riding is a pair of quality bib shorts, but not a pair designed for somebody else. All of our women’s bib shorts are designed for women, tested by women, and include a women’s specific chamois pad.

Every ride starts with a good pair of bib shorts. Whatever kind of riding you do, from mud-spattered cross races to weekend club rides, our bib shorts are a cut above the competition.

To solve a problem, you first have to understand it. The complete overhaul of our range of women’s chamois pads was driven by a predominantly female team to create cycling shorts made for women, by women. For the final word on a project all about comfort, we spoke to four of our female wear testers.

In January, while everyone else in Adelaide was in hot pursuit of the pros, we dispatched four of our local wear testers into the surrounding hills for two days of riding on remote roads, in record-breaking temperatures of over 40°C. Photographer Jake Stangel was with them – here’s what he had to say about the shoot.
