Cycling Clothing for Speed Lovers

Those who got into road cycling should invest in close-fitting, aerodynamic cycling clothes. These garments increase saddle comfort and provide unrestricted freedom of movement as well as best breathability on the bike.

Please find below the must-haves for your racing kit!

Summer Racing Kits

In summer, you are often bothered by the heat and the dazzling sun. Thus, your summer cycling kit should be designed to keep you cool on fast-paced summer tours and perfectly protect you from harmful UV rays.

For hot days, your cycling clothes should above all be breathable. This guarantees best ventilation in high temperatures and during intensive training sessions.

Besides, it makes sense to choose textiles that offer good UV protection. The level of UV protection is indicated in the product description on the respective product page.

Must-haves for your summer racing kit:

Road Cycling Jersey

Available with short sleeves, long sleeves or sleeveless – depending on the temperature and personal preferences. The only thing that’s important is that the material is very breathable and that it offers good UV protection.

Cycling Shorts

Available as waist shorts or bib shorts. It is also advisable to choose road cycling shorts with a gentle compression effect to support blood flow and muscles.

Short Sleeve Base Layer or Singlet

Especially in summer, it’s important to wear a good quality base layer. Functional fibres effectively wick excess moisture and heat away from your body and move it to the next layer.

Road Shoes
with Cleat Mount

Light upper materials with large mesh panels provide best ventilation on warm days.
Featuring three holes arranged in a triangle, road bike shoes allow you to mount cleats and thus use them in combination with pedals with 3 bolt standard.
A rule of thumb: The stiffer the sole, the better the energy is transferred to the pedals. At ROSE Bikes, you’ll find everything ranging from road shoes with nylon soles for beginners via shoes with composite soles through to shoes with high-end full carbon sole for pros.

Cycling Socks

Breathable road cycling socks keep your feet comfortably dry and cool.

Road Bike Helmet

A must-have! A light road bike helmet with many large vents and internal ventilation channels even provides a constant air flow in high temperature for a cool head and maximum safety while riding.

For autumn and winter, you should choose garments that keep you warm while protecting you from the elements.

The major brands have developed special winter cycling clothing made of thermal fabric to perfectly protect you from cold temperatures and draughts. The fabric provides best insulation.

Ranging from cycling socks through to bicycle bags you’ll find everything you need.

Summer cycling kits are all about breathability. They should be made from light fabrics that effectively wick moisture off to the outside. This is the weakness of cotton fibres that are often used for traditional shirts or trousers. Even though cotton is good at absorbing moisture, it won’t move it away to the outside. This will make you feel damp and cold. In contrast to cotton clothes, our cycle touring clothing is made from functional fibres like polyester. This guarantees best moisture management and a pleasantly dry feeling – even on hot days.

We’ll show you how to properly dress for summer cycle touring.

Must-haves for your summer bicycle touring kit:
