For the EF Pro Cycling teams, it's not just a new season and a new jersey, but also a new clothing partner. It is no longer Rapha, but Assos. The unmistakable design remains the same. We can also look forward to bright pink jerseys in the WorldTour pelotons in the 2026 season.
The multi-year partnership includes men's, women's and development teams. Assos contributes its Swiss engineering expertise and develops performance-orientated clothing systems together with the athletes. The 2026 kit features a bold, exploration-inspired colour scheme and is designed as a complete performance system - every detail is designed for speed. There is also a replica kit for fans.
The EF Pro Cycling teams:
Nimbl was previously known for its road cycling shoes. Entering the clothing sector was a natural progression, according to a press release. The design of the new team jerseys should be recognisable at first glance and at high speeds. Subtraction is used in product development: If a feature does not pay dividends in terms of speed, efficiency, durability or comfort, it is omitted. It is not only wind tunnel results that count, but also feedback from professionals such as Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert, Marianne Vos and Victor Campenaerts.
The Bahrain-Victorious team has unveiled its new jersey for the coming season. The Italian manufacturer Alé remains the kit supplier. Due to the change of material for the racing bikes from Merida to Bianchi, the colour of the jerseys has also been changed, and for the fifth year in a row they are from Alé. The main change compared to last year: instead of white, the team led by two-time Tour stage runner-up Phil Bauhaus will be riding in dark blue in the coming season. As a tribute to the tenth anniversary of the racing team, a black X also adorns the chest of the jerseys.
Lotto Cycling Team and Intermarché-Wanty become Lotto-Intermarché. The merger of the two Belgian teams is visualised by a striking red and black design with a fingerprint pattern. After months of intensive preparations, the newly formed cycling team has now also presented its visual identity. The design is dominated by the brand colours of the two main sponsors. Red and black characterise the appearance of the jersey, which is given additional character by the fingerprint pattern. This visual feature is no coincidence, but symbolises the DNA of the new team, which has emerged from two teams, each with its own history, expertise and personnel structure. The new team identity is based on the motto "#RisingTogether", which emphasises the shared ambition to grow together and achieve success in the WorldTour. The production of the team kit is in the hands of Belgian manufacturer Vermarc, which has already been a partner of the Lotto Cycling Team for 23 seasons and is also supporting it in the new project.
With the new season comes not only a new jersey for Team Tudor, but the jersey also comes from a new partner. Sportful has officially been the team's outfitter since January 2026. The racing team is not only kitted out by the Italian clothing manufacturer, but is also involved in the development of new products. The riders give their feedback and input. The result will be a customised Sportful collection, which will be launched on the market in the 2026 season.
For the first time in the team's history, orange is the dominant colour. This deliberate choice clearly sets Ineos Grenadiers apart from the other teams in the professional peloton, as no other WorldTour team has opted for a comparable look. Combined with a white base, the design conveys energy and freshness without sacrificing elegance. The aim was immediate recognisability - realised in a functional, clear and memorable jersey >> available here. The professionals' work equipment, the Pinarello Dogma F., is also presented in orange and white to match the outfit.
Team Soudal Quick-Step was one of the first professional cycling teams to unveil its team kit for the 2026 cycling season.
The team separates from the previous team collection in blue and white. In 2026, she shines in a completely new look. The new collection was designed with her clothing partner Castelli. Navy blue remains, but a lot has been done, especially up top. The electric lime colour is intended to increase visibility and safety - in the race and in training. Belgian driver Tim Merlier is quoted in the team's press release: "We all spend a lot of time training on the open roads, so anything that helps us to be more visible is a great advantage. I think it's great that this jersey keeps the classic look of the team but gives us extra visibility. I will be very proud to wear this jersey in some of the biggest races and hope it will bring us a lot of success."
The women's team CANYON//SRAM zondakrypto is celebrating its tenth anniversary and is presenting its new kit to match. The new team kit is called Luminous and follows the motto: striking kit design. The Women's Elite Road Cycling Team is thus continuing its tradition of standing out in the peloton with eye-catching designs. Following on from the previous designs Interstellar, Astral Burn, Harmonic Riff and Infinitum, the new Luminous kit represents the team's philosophy of illuminating and developing women's cycling.
In a press release, Mckenzie Sampson, designer of the new team kit, explains why she has always seen Team CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto as a role model in the peloton: "They are a team that gives a diverse group of female riders around the world the chance to make it big in cycling. To visually convey this sense of light and hope, the kit design needed to show the right balance of high-contrast light, unique patterns and rich colour highlights."
The partnership between the Team Lidl-Trek and the Italian clothing manufacturer Santini. The teamCollection for the upcoming 2026 season has a new look and also features the logos of two new sponsors: ServiceNow and Gatorade. The upper third of the jersey has a smaller design at the front and back. In 2025, the Lidl colours were used more extensively here. Geometric areas in different colour nuances were chosen for 2026 >> available here.
On 12 December 2025, Pissei presented the new team kit for UAE Team Emirates - XRG 2026 to the public, opening the fourth chapter of its supplier partnership with the team led by Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar. Whether jersey, shorts or arm warmers, all parts of the "Magistrale" collection are handmade in the in-house custom lab in Italy. As in the past, the team jersey is mainly white with black and red elements >> available here. On trend: socks that cover half the calf.
The women's cycling team FDJ - SUEZ, together with its outfitter Gobik, has officially presented the new team jersey for the 2026 season >> available here. The jersey was already on show during the Tour de France Femmes. This strategy enabled the team to introduce the new jersey to the competition at the time when global attention for women's cycling is at its highest. Following this premiere at the Tour de France Femmes, the jersey has now officially been on the market since 15 December, while other teams are just starting to present their collections for 2026.
According to the designers, the new jersey design for the 2026 season reflects the team's DNA and core values. The base colour of the jersey is a deep, intense black that symbolises the invisible hours of sport: training sessions before sunrise, rides in the rain and the fears and doubts of difficult days. In contrast, a vivid glow of light stands out in the chest area, symbolising the inner spark that transforms sacrifice and hard work into brilliance at the moment of victory. The design follows the concept of "from shadow to light", symbolising the athletes' journey through challenges to success.
The Australian premium cycling clothing manufacturer MAAP, together with GreenEDGE Cycling, presented the new jerseys for the 2026 season on 6 January. Jayco-AlUla, Liv AlUla Jayco and Hagens Berman Jayco remain true to the familiar Aurora colour scheme, which has now been enhanced with a new flame motif. This marks the start of the second year of co-operation between the two Australian brands. The teams already celebrated successes in the new look last season - including stage wins in the Tour de France Femmes and the three men's grand tours: Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España. The revised design should also ensure that the teams are particularly eye-catching and instantly recognisable in the professional peloton in 2026.
Alongside the visual update, MAAP has also further developed the performance of the race clothing in close consultation with the riders of GreenEDGE Cycling. Building on the AARTERO Flyte fabric introduced in 2025 - just 20 micrometres thin and designed for aerodynamic advantages and strong thermoregulation - the system has been consistently refined for 2026. The focus is on three optimised key products: The lightweight racing suit as the next evolutionary stage of the AARTERO Flyte system with improved aerodynamics and temperature management. The revised time trial suit is designed for constant stress at high speeds and delivers measurable aero improvements, while airflow and breathability have been further optimised. The setup is rounded off by the Elements Pro Race Jacket, a race-specific outer layer that protects against wind and rain without restricting breathability.
