Santini Cycling and Pirelli Design have launched a second collaborative capsule collection – Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2025 – which is inspired by a club founded by Pirelli in 1922.
The club was set up to promote employee well-being through physical activity. Even with its motor heritage, for Pirelli the new apparel is also an opportunity to remember the historic bond the company has with two wheels. Its first production tyre, the Tipo Milano, patented in 1893, was in fact for bicycles.
Taking inspiration from the previous collection, the new range introduces two graphic lines inspired by the Pirelli advertising archive of the 1960s, part of the historical heritage of over 4 km of documents preserved by the Pirelli Foundation.
The Ruota design is characterized by a motif that recalls the wheel in motion; and the Tape design is inspired by vintage advertising posters with horizontal coloured bands that aim to recall energy, speed and sporting spirit.
The new items include two unisex cycling jerseys: the Ruota version, with a wheel-shaped silicone detail on the back, made of ultra-light and elastic fabric to ensure a slim fit and a second-skin feel; and the Tape version, featuring coloured stripes inspired by the iconic Pirelli posters of the 1960s, made of Polartec Power Stretch with lightweight raw-cut sleeves, reflective details and a covered zip for comfort and functionality.
The two new jerseys, available in black and white, go with the Pirelli SC shorts, vest, windbreaker and all accessories previously present in the 2024 collection. To complete the range, a selection of casual garments designed for both everyday use and pre- or post-ride, will be available from the end of June.
