Sanremo Speedsuit – The cutting edge of racing innovation

Professional and amateur riders have been reaping the aero benefits of the Sanremo Speedsuit for more than six years, and they call it the best kit ever made for road racing. Your body is responsible for about 75 percent of the air drag you face when cycling, so it makes sense to ensure that you’re as aero as possible. The Sanremo Speedsuit was inspired by the Sanremo finish line back in 2009. Heinrich Haussler had just been beaten by 3cm by Mark Cavendish on the finish line in Sanremo.

We’ve refined it year after year and finally in 2017 Michal Kwiatkowski of Team Sky brings it to victory at its namesake race.   A little bit of aerodynamic savings over a long period of time can result in that extra last crucial bit of energy when pushing for the line and glory. The Sanremo Speedsuit debuted at the 2011 Sanremo, but the race didn’t go well for Team Garmin-Cervélo. The first professional win in the speed suit came three weeks later, when Johan Vansummeren rode ...
