Rapha has unveiled its spring/summer Pro Team 2026 collection, describing the apparel range as a complete system built for pinnacle performance. The latest Pro Team collection features a refinement of the existing line, with new product additions, technical upgrades to popular styles and new colourways for the 2026 season.
Based in London, Rapha is an international cycling apparel brand known for its performance-led design and associations with professional racing. According to the company, the Pro Team range is developed through testing at the highest levels of the sport to provide a performance advantage for athletes during high-intensity efforts.
For the 2026 season, the brand has introduced the Pro Team Wind Jacket. This lightweight, breathable garment features stretch panelling for a race fit and is designed to be highly packable for use during early morning rides.
Another addition to the line is the Pro Team Cargo Bibs, which are now available outside of a special collection for the first time. These shorts include two pockets on the legs and a Pro Team chamois with a perforated top sheet and reticulated foam to wick sweat.
Several familiar products have received technical updates. The Pro Team Jersey II, designed for high-intensity efforts in hot conditions, features moisture-wicking fabrics and lightweight mesh sleeves. The company noted that the 2026 fit is more engaged than previous versions. Similarly, the Pro Team Training Jersey III has been updated with a refined fit and longer sleeves.
The collection is categorised into three specific systems:
- Pro Team Training: Designed to withstand the demands of repeated hard training rides. Key updates include the Pro Team Training Bib Shorts, which feature an exclusive fabric designed for durability and new lightweight leg grippers for improved thermoregulation.
- Pro Team Cargo: Aimed at high-speed, long-distance riding where self-sufficiency is required. The integrated leg pockets allow riders to carry food or mobile devices while maintaining a performance fit.
- Pro Team Aero: A system focused on aerodynamics and speed. The 2026 range sees the return of the Pro Team Long Sleeve Aero Jersey, which uses wind tunnel certified fabrics to allow for high-speed riding in cooler temperatures.
The Pro Team 2026 collection is designed to work as a cohesive system, with each component developed for specific training or racing efforts across various distances and terrains.
