Building on 2024 and 2025 editions, Santini Cycling and Pirelli Design have introduced the new Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection for cyclists. The project, which originally launched in 2024, celebrates a connection between sport, style, and innovation.
Italian cycling apparel manufacturer Santini Cycling was founded in 1965 and produces its garments in Italy. Pirelli Design is the division of tyre manufacturer Pirelli that is dedicated to design and lifestyle projects.
The partnership is inspired by the Pirelli Sport Club, which was founded in Milan, Italy, in 1922 to promote employee wellbeing through physical activity. According to both companies, the new capsule collection expands the product offering by introducing new garments and updating the graphic lines with refined details and technical solutions. The collection has been designed to accompany cyclists from high-performance riding to everyday lifestyle wear.
Among the highlights of the line are new technical jerseys. Alongside the continuing Ruota model, which has a design inspired by the dynamism of a spinning wheel, and Tape, which recalls Pirelli’s 1960s advertising graphics, the new Fastjersey makes its debut. Developed to support aerodynamic performance, it features ultra-light fabrics and a ‘second-skin’ fit that minimizes drag.
The design of the Pirelli SC jersey has also been renewed with an all-over logo pattern, available in black and in a new chocolate colourway. All jerseys in the collection feature a unisex fit and are paired with the Pirelli SC bib shorts with C3 chamois, which are designed for long-distance rides.
Joining the range is a new heritage-inspired piece, the Pirelli SC wool jersey. Positioned as a tribute to vintage cycling, it combines wool and details such as an embroidered Pirelli logo, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a metal front zipper.
One of the key innovations of the collection is the new road skinsuit, engineered to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. Here, the upper section uses a highly breathable, quick-drying fabric engineered to support thermoregulation. The sleeves, made from woven fabric, ensure a precise fit while optimizing aerodynamic performance thanks to a special striped construction. The lower section, made from high-density fabric, provides muscular support.
Technical pieces completing the look include baselayers, a packable wind jacket and vest, alongside accessories such as socks, cycling caps, and water bottles.
Alongside the technical offering, Santini and Pirelli are also introducing a lifestyle line that interprets the spirit of the Pirelli Sport Club beyond cycling. T-shirts, sweatshirts, and casual garments combine premium materials and distinctive graphics.
Santini Cycling is the official licensee of the PIRELLI and SC trademarks for cycling apparel. Pirelli, founded in 1872, is one of the world’s biggest tyre manufacturers, with products and services for cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.
