Today, Rapha launched its Spring-Summer 2024 Pro Team collection, including a jersey which the brand says its its fastest and most aerodynamic yet - offering a reported "nearly eight watt" saving.
The new and "completely overhauled" Pro Team Aero Jersey is the result of extensive wind tunnel data and bolstered by Rapha's long collaboration with riders from the EF Pro Cycling teams. In fact, Alison Jackson (EF Education-Cannondale) wore a prototype of the new jersey in April 2023 when she took the win at Paris-Roubaix Femmes.
