Ride Hard. Ride Fast. You’ve worked hard all through winter, building your base, topping up your FTP and boosting your anaerobic engine. And with the Velocity HD2 Bib Shorts, you have a performance garment that maximises those gains. It begins with use of Ale’s wind-tunnel tested ‘Aero 3D’ fabric. The engineered jacquard structure works to deliver a significant reduction in drag, keeping you slippery through the air as your speed rises. But not just that, Aero 3D’s elasticity and recovery boost muscle compression, encouraging improved blood flow and venous return. Lightweight Comfort Complementing the aero fabric is lightweight ‘Speedy’ fabric. Thanks to its low weight it feels barely there while its excellent breathability keeps you feeling cooler and fresher when the pace increases. An orthogonal woven structure enhances durability and at the same time gives the ideal degree of muscle support and compression. Y-Air Bib System With their Y-Air Bib System, Ale has increased rider comfort by lessening the contact area between straps and skin. With more skin open to the air, both breathability and ventilation are improved, but thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps also promote a feeling of lightweight and freshness. Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad Using dual-density padding, the Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad gives superb comfort and support for rides up to and exceeding 8 hours in length. A true endurance product, maximum support is reserved for areas that feel the greatest pressure when you’re on the saddle. Elsewhere, lower-density foam keeps mobility high. Perforations maintain excellent breathability and airflow while flexible wings allow for easy freedom of movement as you pedal and for when you’re jumping in and out of the saddle for sprints and hill climbs.
From Ale's PRS (Pro Racing System) range comes the Women's Logo Cycling Jersey. Born from co-operation with pro cycling teams, the Logo Jersey has had close attention paid to an anatomic fit and functional fabrics designed to enhance your performance. Superlight and high-stretch Micro-Aero materials maintain a close to the body fit while letting your skin breathe. This maintains comfort when the heat is on and deals with sweat build-up quickly when your ride demands higher intensity efforts. Elsewhere, extremely light Clima Aero, with its structured drag-reducing surface, is used to enhance aerodynamics. To the back of the jersey, you'll find Rap-Dry Carbon deployed. With horizontal carbon threads woven into a polyester base, this performance fabric is both anti-bacterial, anti-static and UV protective. It also speeds up the humidity evaporation, keeping you feeling fresh and dry all day. The Race fit is tailored to be figure-hugging, cutting speed-sapping drag to a minimum. Raw-cut raglan sleeves give a smooth and flexible transition between jersey and skin, maintaining the streamlined fit as you move.
The superb technical performance of the Race Special Cycling Jersey comes from the combination of its smooth, flexible race fit and the selection of cutting-edge textiles.

Both are extremely lightweight, allow for excellent air exchange for both improved ventilation and breathability while also giving a snug and flexible fit. To the sides, mesh panels also give a boost to breathability, perfect for comfort under the summer heat and during long alpine climbs. Then there's the Skin 120 Exagon over the shoulders and sleeves.

Ale uses a mix of performance fabrics in order to give perfect muscle support and compression alongside excellent flexibility for fluid pedalling. Premium Performance Materials Zaffiro and Matrix fabrics, both Lycra® Power materials, gently squeeze your hard-working muscles, encouraging blood flow and flushing out lactic acid, providing fatigue-busting support over long rides. Matrix, in particular, offers excellent abrasion resistance and is deployed in the areas of the short in contact with the saddle, boosting durability. Elsewhere, Ale uses their Mesh Dragon material. This micro-mesh is supremely soft and allows for optimal breathability. An Open Bib design also exposes more skin to the back of the shorts, allowing for greater sweat evaporation.
