RS Superleggera Jersey

LIGHTER AND BETTER Using technology and knowhow developed for the highest levels of pro racing, adapted into an extremely lightweight and aero road-going jersey. We’ve used bits of our 50g stretch woven fabric, our ultralight and ultra-wicking Futura 50g fabric on the front and sleeves, and a 3D mesh fabric liner on the back to support the pockets, and added a handy zippered key pocket for some creature comforts. The RS Superleggera Jersey is available in stores and online. Discover more details and all colours here.

T1:Stealth Top 2 | Shorten the bike leg

QUEEN K AND WIND TUNNEL TESTED Wind tunnel testing shows that an long-distance bike leg will go by almost 6 minutes quicker with the new T1:Stealth Top 2, compared to our sleeveless Free top. For version 2 we focused on improving the fit.
 The front is in a smooth stretch polyester fabric, while the back and shoulders use a specially developed dimpled fabric that helps the boundary layer of air detach from the body. The back blocks 94 percent of UV rays, providing reasonable race-day sun protection. Wear it over your sleeveless tri kit or, in hotter conditions, by itself, and you’ll be faster with the same effort. The fit is specific to the tri position to maximize aerodynamics without compromising weight and comfort. The top is meant to be worn on the bike only and features a full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper to help make it easy to put on and take off in transition. The T1:Stealth Top 2 is an absolute time saver for half- and long-distance races. The new T1:Stealth Top 2 is available in multiple color ways
 in men’s and women’s versions: T1:Stealth Top 2 Men   –   T1:Stealth Top 2 Women

A perfect pair of bibshorts will provide just the right balance of comfort and support for your legs when you’re pounding out those kilometers.   With the PREMIO BIBSHORT we simply set out to design the most comfortable short we could make for your longest ride. The short feels like a second skin, comfortably snug around the legs, hips and buttocks. The few seams are carefully placed to avoid pulling or chafing. A short for the ride where you’re demanding something extra from your legs, from your mind, and from your equipment. We’ve all done those rides when you use every last bit of energy, draw on all those training rides, and appreciate that extra bit of support and protection.   Most Castelli products are made for racing and tend towards minimalism. This short goes the other way giving a bit more compression in the legs, an extra compression band around the lower back, and comes up a bit higher in front to hold everything in. We still couldn’t ...
