Rule 28, the aero clothing specialist, has unveiled two new collections that make use of both ‘single and double layer aero technologies’.
Rule 28’s ‘Neo’ range sees the brand apply double layer aero technology to a range of products. According to founder Sam Calder “Neo is the result of years of research and development – we’re finally able to unveil the pinnacle of our offering, and the data to support it.
“This is the fastest kit we’ve ever brought to market. It’s a logical progression from our top-end suit and base layer outfit – to combine these items into one refined garment and apply this concept across the range.
“The fabrics we’re now using in the Neo range test faster than anything currently commercially available, and we’ve made it our mission ahead of next season to bring World Tour level tech to the public.”
Rule 28’s new suit boasts a claimed 10 Watt improvement over its existing Neo Suit 1.1 and Base Layer combination (previously worn by both men’s and women’s Tour de France champions) at speeds of 40-50 kph.
This improvement ‘rockets up’ to a 34 Watt saving at 60kph. The Neo range comprises Road Race, TT, and Tri suits, as well as double layer accessories such as Calf Guards, Overshoes, and Socks.
Rule 28 also points to a demand for its single layer bestsellers. The ‘One’ range caters for this demand, with new single layer fabrics previously only seen at World Tour and Olympic level now made available for purchase.
Watt savings have reportedly been found through the use of these new materials and a further refined fit, with an aesthetic overhaul and updated branding rounding out the offering. The One range TT Suit boasts a claimed 13 Watt advantage over Rule 28’s current model at speeds from 40-45kph.
According to the company… ‘This range reconstruction reflects Rule 28’s resolute commitment to speed, transparency, and uncompromising approach to developing the fastest products possible. The brand continue to make world class aerodynamic garments, previously confined to the World Tour, readily available to the public.’
