The start of a new chapter – Chpt. ///

Once again Castelli starts a new chapter together with David. By coincidence or destiny we started our own comeback chapter with David at Saunier Duval in 2007 and then joined up again for his last 4 years. At some unremarkable race hotel the seeds were sown for a new creative collaboration. We’ve always obsessively focused on performance clothing for the racer, now we’re focused on one very stylish bike racer as the focus shifts. British-Italian fusion at its finest. “I’ve created a brand that will encompass everything I’ve learnt from my years racing at the highest level, our first project is the most obvious as it’s what I’ve often been most involved – clothing.” (David Millar) From David’s side it’s been a long time coming. “In my final years racing I repeatedly got asked about the next chapter in my life, was I excited about? What would it be? That sort of thing. Well, this is it, and this time, nobody’s telling me what to wear. “I’ve created a brand that will encompass everything I’ve learnt from my years racing at the highest level, our first project is the most obvious as it’s what I’ve often been most involved – ...

High-tech clothing – Every single watt counts

At Castelli it’s all about speed and comfort. That’s why our primary objective is to development the fastest possible clothing on the market. Just like in racing, being fastest doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of dedication and methodical hard work. It comes from working with the best technical minds in the sport. It comes from leaving no stone unturned in seeking out incremental gains. Each year we spend hours and hours in the wind tunnel to improve our clothing. In this GCN-video Castelli’s brand manager Steve Smith gives an insight into that topic and our efforts. Good news is, that our findings aren’t reserved to the pros of Cannondale-Garmin and MTN-Qhubeka. Our high-end race garments are also available through the Castelli inline collection or the Servizio Corse custom team program.

No-compromises, cyclocross suit

Cyclocross is all about going all out, running dismounts, flying remounts, and pedaling no matter what – snow, rain, mud. It takes a special breed of rider, and equipment, to thrive. Partnering with some of the best CX athletes in the world, including Team Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com, gave us the ideal proving ground to make the most innovative cyclocross apparel to date. With the ‘Cross Sanremo Speed Suit, we’ve incorporated all the features of our best racewear in this no-compromises cyclocross speedsuit. The SanRemo construction frees you from bib straps while giving you an open front for maximum ventilation. The lightly fleeced top portion provides the extra warmth you need in frosty or wet conditions. Stand up in a typical road / time trial skinsuit and the zipper starts to pull. The bottom of the zipper is the most common area of failure, leading to tears or the hidden zipper coming apart. The Castelli’s Cyclocross Suit, a jersey-and-shorts combo, the upper part is essentially a full zip jersey with an improved fit is designed to enhance range of motion dynamics unique to this demanding discipline. Details include a longer center front and more shoulder room for off the bike flexibility when ...
