Castelli Aero Race 6.0 JerseyIf you're a cyclist who loves the thrills of riding fast and testing your fitness in races, the aero-refined Castelli Aero Race 6.0 Jersey is just for you. A limited-edition design delivers fast style too. From Split Second to Aero 6.0The original Castelli aero jersey for road racing first saw light in 2006. It was known as the Split Second jersey. It was at a time when aerodynamics was only really considered important for time trials. Baggy cycling jerseys were the norm until that very first Castelli aero focused jersey appeared.However, with every new version of the jersey, the aerodynamic advantages have proved to be worth far more than just a few split seconds. It’s now known as the Aero Race 6.0 Cycling Jersey - designed to take your velocity up another notch.Using CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, the Aero Race 6.0 will fit you even better when you're in an aggressive riding position while seam placement has been optimised to minimise drag. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase of power output compared to a standard jersey. Same training. Same power. More speed. You could almost call it free speed.Cool and FuelledOf course, riding fast, whether in training or racing, is going to generate heat. That, in turn, leads to sweat. However, the Aero Race 6.0 isn't just efficient through the air it's also efficient in dealing with moisture too. Quick wicking and with a 3D mesh back you'll be cooler and drier as you push hard on the pedals.To keep you up to speed and fully fuelled for your ride, the pockets are easily accessible when stuffed with gels and thanks to the drop tail design the jersey remains sleek even when they're loaded up.The Aero Race 6.0 Jersey is Castelli's most aerodynamically advanced design to date and yet it's also their best fitting too - Just ask their WorldTour professional riders. A remarkably comfortable high-performance cycling jersey whether it's your longest days in the saddle or a short and intense criterium race.Features:Materials: 82% Polyester, 18% ElastaneCFD-based fabric placement and seam constructionEngineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/hAirflow shoulder constructionVelocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve3D mesh back for breathabilityElbow-length stretch sleeves with raw-cut edgeYKK® Vislon® zipperDrop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping jersey fitting well at the waistWeight: 109gSuggested Temperature range: 18 to 35 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Aero Race 6.0 Jersey is Castelli’s most aero jersey to date. Engineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55kmph it is designed for the fastest riding giving anyone a pro-level advantage.Castelli’s first aero race jersey debuted in 2006 and was called the Split Second. Back then, aero was only for TTs and performance clothing meant moisture management. Castelli changed this for good, and in the process transformed the appearance and apparel of the pro peloton.The Aero Race 6.0 is the sixth major revision of Castelli’s aero jersey. Each generation has become more aero and better fitting. The Aero Race 6.0 benefits heavily from Computer Fluid Dynamic research and input from Team Ineos who have tested the jersey in the crucible of pro racing.Velocity Rev2 fabric on the front and sleeves leads to exceptional aerodynamics, and a mesh rear provides ventilation. A YKK zipper allows smooth opening and closing, and a drop tail means perfect pocket placement and no riding up when pushing hard on the drops and on the rivet.Key Features:CFD-based fabric placement and seam construction,Engineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/h,Airflow shoulder construction,Velocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve,3D mesh back for breathability,Elbow-length stretch sleeves with a raw-cut edge,YKK® Vislon® zipper,Drop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping the jersey fitting well at the waist,Temperature comfort range of 18° – 32°C,Weight 119g (Large).
The Free Aero Race Cap isnt really aero, but it matches performance to the Free Aero RC Bibshort.

Product Features Traditional cycling-cap cut Woven polyester twill fabric keeps wind off but stays dry Sublimated graphic doesnt fade or wash out
The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort was developed after Chris Froome requested a set of bibshorts that would offer greater protection in the early stages of grand tours, when every rider is vying for a place at the front of the peloton and crashes are a frequent occurrence.Castelli found inspiration for the bibshorts from an old trick used by track riders. Knowing that Lycra sliding on Lycra is the best way to prevent or reduce road rash on your hip, track cyclists would wear two pairs of shorts. Castelli has taken this idea and put an extra layer of Lycra over the hip and thigh panel meaning that you get the same fabric-on-fabric shear force that you get from wearing two pairs of shorts.The extra panel adds minimal weight and is made from a layer of Castelli’s Vortex fabric. An internal layer of stretch woven fabric furthers protection and is reinforced with a ripstop grid made from Dyneema – the same yarn used for rock climbing ropes, reinforcement in sails for the America Cup, and bullet proof vests – helping prevent the inner layer from ripping.The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort uses the construction and components as Castelli’s tried and tested Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort that has been tested and developed over millions of kilometres in the pro peloton. A mesh bib helps you stay cool and the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad features generous padding making all-day rides no problem.The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort was made for the pros but every cyclist knows the risk of sliding out. Whether riding on gravel or smashing your local crits the added protection of the Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort will give you the peace of mind needed to focus fully on your riding.Key Features:Double-layer side panels for extra protection in case of a fall,Ideal for gravel riding and crit racing,Developed in response to a request from Chris Froome for bibshorts that offered greater protection against road rash,Smooth layer of Vortex fabric backed by a stretch woven fabric that features a Dyneema ripstop grid,Mesh bib construction to help you keep cool,Same construction as Castelli’s top race shorts, the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort,Flat-lock stitching,Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad,Temperature comfort range of 15° – 32°C,Weight 203g (Large).
