Fast outfit: Tight & fast: the new Flexair collection from Fox

- Rapha and Hiut are launching a limited edition selvedge commuter jean exclusively for Rapha Cycling Club members in 2026.
- The jeans are based on Hiut's 'The Work' model, with a reflective logo, reinforced belt loop and rivets made from Japanese selvedge denim.
- They cost 420 euros and promise durability and function, but despite the RCC benefits they remain an expensive niche product for commuters.

Cooperation between Rapha and Hiut: jeans for bike commuters worth the value of a groupset

- Eight key clothing essentials for gravel biking are presented, from helmet to gloves for protection, comfort and function.
- The focus is on a Mips gravel helmet, tight-fitting jersey, bib shorts, loose shorts, wind waistcoat and rain jacket with a small pack size.
- Self-tinting, well-ventilated sports goggles and long-fingered gloves for better grip and fall protection are also recommended.

Equipment for gravel bikers: 8 essentials for your gravel adventure

- POC erweitert 2026 sein MTB-Portfolio mit Helm, Protektoren, Bekleidung und Brillen für Trail- und Gravity-Fahrer.
- Kernstück ist der leichte Cularis-Pure-Helm mit CFD-Belüftung und Top-Bewertung in Virginia-Tech-Tests, ergänzt durch nachhaltige Motion-Bekleidung.
- Neue VPD-Max-Protektoren mit doppellagigem VPD (Level 2), VPD Air Torso (Level 1) und Devour-Mid-Brille mit Zeiss-Clarity-Technologie runden die Linie ab.

- Radhosen sind für direkten Hautkontakt konstruiert: Polster dämpft Druck, leitet Feuchtigkeit ab und reduziert Reibung nur ohne Unterhose.
- Unterhosen verursachen zusätzliche Nähte, Nässe und Reibung, was zu Druckstellen, Scheuerstellen, Hautirritationen und Pilzinfektionen führen kann.
- Radhose nach jeder Nutzung waschen, ggf. Chamois-Creme nutzen; Ausnahme: Baggy-Radhosen, aber auch hier gehört das Polster direkt auf die Haut.

Nothing underneath: why you shouldn't wear pants under your bike trousers

- Frühjahrs-MTB erfordert flexible Kleidung im Zwiebelprinzip plus wetterfeste Shorts/Pants und leichte Knieprotektoren für Kälte- und Sturzschutz.  
- Wichtige Sicherheits- und Komfortfaktoren sind griffige Reifen (tubeless, weicher, offenes Profil), Mudguard, Handschuhe, trockene Füße und geeignete Brille.  
- Regelmäßiger Setup-Check von Bremsen, Fahrwerk und Kette sowie Basis-Tools, Energie, Notfallschicht und Erste Hilfe im Rucksack sind essenziell.

10 must-haves: equipment for mountain biking in spring

- Vorgestellt werden 10 Produkte für Pendlerradler, von Commuter-Jeans, Sattel- und Lenkertaschen bis zu reflektierender Kleidung.
- Im Fokus stehen Komfort, Alltagstauglichkeit und Sicherheit: bessere Sichtbarkeit, praktikable Transportlösungen und robuste Komponenten.
- Jedes Produkt wird kurz bewertet, mit Preis, Gewicht und zentralen Vor- und Nachteilen für den täglichen Einsatz auf dem Arbeitsweg.

10 must-haves for commuters on bikes: smart equipment for everyday cyclists

- Preisunterschiede bei Radhosen resultieren vor allem aus Entwicklungsaufwand, Materialqualität und aufwendiger Handarbeit in der Fertigung.  
- Unter 100 Euro sind Radhosen meist wenig haltbar und unbequem; brauchbare Bib Shorts liegen ab ca. 100 Euro, über 200 Euro zahlt man teils für die Marke.  
- Wichtige Kriterien: maximal 20 % Elastan, dehnstabile, eher raschelige Stoffe, straffes Sitzpolster ohne Nähte, gleichmäßig dehnbare Beinabschlüsse und saubere Nähte.

Cycling shorts from 29 euros: How much do you really have to pay for high quality?

- Fit is crucial: use manufacturer-specific size charts, trousers must fit tightly, otherwise the padding will slip and cause pressure points.  
- The seat pad must completely cover the saddle contact area, be skin-friendly, firm and moderately thick as well as breathable to reduce friction and moisture.  
- Soft, wide leg cuffs, well-tensioned straps, dark woven fabrics and elasticated seams increase comfort; certificates indicate the origin of the material.

Buying cycling shorts: 5 steps for maximum comfort in the saddle

- Lange Trailpants bieten von Frühjahr bis Herbst Schutz, Komfort mit Schonern und ersetzen rutschige Beinlinge, sind aber nur bei großer Hitze im Nachteil.  
- Moderne Modelle setzen auf leichtes, stretchiges, robustes Material, schmale Schnitte, höheren Bund und teils Belüftung; problematisch sind Quernähte über den Knien.  
- Die getesteten Hosen unterscheiden sich vor allem in Passform, Länge, Taschendesign, Belüftung, Nachhaltigkeit und Preis; Monserat und Fox bieten Long-Versionen.
