The collection was developed in collaboration with the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe WorldTour team and includes both professional racing clothing and replica versions for cycling fans.

Specialized emphasises that a special focus was placed on aerodynamics, fit and comfort during development in order to give cyclists the best possible performance.



Aerodynamic properties and materials

The aerodynamic properties are at the forefront of the new collection. The kit features so-called SlipLayer aerotextiles, which, according to Specialized, are designed to reduce air resistance by up to 25 watts at a speed of 40 kilometres per hour compared to the SL jersey. The seamless panel construction is said to smooth the airflow and reduce turbulence. In addition, the edges are unhemmed and have flat seams to further minimise air resistance. The race jersey is made from a specially woven performance fabric with a material content of 85 per cent polyester and 15 per cent elastane in the main body and 76 per cent polyester and 24 per cent elastane in the sleeves. The racing bib shorts are made from a stretchy knitted fabric consisting of 78 per cent polyamide and 22 per cent elastane.

Technical features of the professional equipment

The race jersey has a full-length zip and two race pockets designed to optimise airflow across the lower back. The elasticated braces and seamless waistband of the race bib shorts are designed to ensure comfort even in aggressive riding positions. The leg cuffs are unhemmed and equipped with integrated grips, which should stay in place even under high loads. The seat pad of the pro version is designed as a triple-density Body Geometry Contour 3D Chamois and aims to relieve pressure zones and ensure all-day efficiency. Specialized emphasises that the high-density fit should help to stabilise the muscles, delay fatigue and accelerate recovery.
