Rapha has launched its new SS24 Pro Team collection, which is based on aerodynamic, lightweight designs. At the forefront of this collection is the new and improved Pro Team Aero Jersey. This has a refined design for 2024 to produce what Rapha is billing as its ‘fastest, most aerodynamic jersey’.
Also new for 2024 are the enhanced Pro Team Long Sleeve Lightweight Jersey and Pro Team Training Jersey, designed for year-round training.
Rapha notes that its SS24 Pro Team Aero Jersey… ‘Boasting unrivalled aerodynamic performance, enhanced comfort, and exceptional versatility, has been meticulously engineered to be the fastest jersey ever created by Rapha.’
Rapha has introduced several key improvements for the 2024 edition. Wind tunnel data and feedback from EF Pro Cycling, as well as customers and riders, have guided the design process. As a result, the sleeve and shoulder design has been completely overhauled, incorporating Rapha’s proprietary Italian Clima fabric to strike a balance between stretch and compression. This innovative fabric moulds to the rider’s body, helping to eliminate drag and enhance performance.
In addition to its increased aerodynamic gains, the Pro Team Aero Jersey is lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, making it ideal for riding in hot conditions. The low-cut collar prevents irritation at the neck, while the updated Pro Team branding adds refined style. Furthermore, the extended zip placket protects shorts from abrasion.
Rapha is also launching its new and improved Pro Team Long Sleeve Lightweight Jersey, designed for year-round versatility and layering in various weather conditions. This jersey focuses on maximum comfort and has undergone extensive testing, proving its suitability for temperatures ranging from 6 to 20 degrees Celsius.
The Pro Team Training Jersey has also been redesigned for 2024, incorporating feedback from EF riders and elite-level racers to create a jersey tailored for long training journeys and more intensive sessions. This short-sleeved jersey combines performance and comfort, making it a choice for all-day riding in mild to hot conditions.
Rapha recommends pairing the new jerseys with its Powerweave Bib Shorts, Lightweight Baselayer, Pro Team Shoes, and Pro Team Aero Socks.
