Light, Cool And Straight Out Of The FutureWe've been pushing the envelope on lightweight shorts since 2011 but have butted up against the limits of compromising durability for ever lighter weight. We needed to step back and find a better way.We examined what the short really needs to do: it needs to hold the seat pad securely in place while otherwise adding as little weight or fabric as absolutely necessary (without being transparent, obviously), and it needs to last a season of hard use. So we engineered a brand-new fabric using a woven rather than a knit that shaves 30% in weight for the same level of support and non-transparency. Then we worked with the world's leading mill to construct a gradient fabric that becomes increasingly lighter the farther down the leg it extends, with the last part weighing a mere 90 g/m2 compared to normal short fabric, which weighs around 220 g/m2.This fabric, while being insanely light, maintains a decent durability along with excellent abrasion resistance, at least against the saddle. We don't guarantee it against unplanned slides across the asphalt, so please keep the rubber side down!Note that while the short saves a mere 48 grams while dry, this means it also absorbs around 30% less moisture when you're sweating. So when you're sweating your way up the Alpe d'Huez you're actually saving closer to 150 grams.This short doesn't compromise on comfort. We use our top Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, the spectacular striped mesh bibs from the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort and a flat stretch woven leg gripper to keep everything in place.Key Features: The premium lightweight hot weather short, Gradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support, Ultralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durability, Minimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you cool, Integrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in place, Embossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfers, Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, 20°-40°C / 68°-104°F, Weight:141 g.
Made by hand with an honest artisan method, the Aspide is the lightest comfortable saddle.Key Features:Rail: DNA-Carbon, Ø 9.8 x 7mm,Shell: Full Carbon Fibre,Padding: Pebax®,Cover: Microfeel,Saddle Profile: Open / Waved,Size Narrow: 278 x 131mm / ID-Match Ref: S2,Size Wide: 278 x 141mm / ID-Match Ref: L2,Weight: Less Than <109g (Narrow),No rider weight limit,Use: Road,Colours: Black (Narrow or Wide) or White (Narrow only),.DNA-Carbon RailsThe crossing X shape knot (Dynamic Node Action) enables to increase the rigidity of the rail and also to reduce the weight, avoiding useless spin and torsion, without compromising the comfort.A length greater than the traditional carbon rails you can find on the market, allows one of the best adjustments of the saddle. Superleggera and Carbon FX saddles have this rail.Full Carbon Fibre ShellNylon with high properties, enriched with a high proportion of long carbon fibre, in order to reinforce the characteristics of rigidity, stiffness and durability without compromising the weight.Pebax FoamHigh performance closed cell, cross linked foam that is not only incredibly light weight, but provides high levels of stability and vibration dampening whilst allowing the cover to deform in synchronicity with the rider.Microfeel CoverBreathable and hard wearing cover. It is lighter than traditional materials and less deformable. Anti-skid effect with an extraordinary grip on the saddle. Biocompatible material.New ErgonomyThe perfect balance between the support and relief zone. The "big hole" helps maintain comfort under pressure and offers day long support and comfort. The central relief zone is long enough to work in all riding positions and the structural stability bridge prevents unwanted flex and twist.

They'll Think You Bought It Just To Look GoodThis is the jersey that brings Castelli's fabric and construction engineering together in one of the most refined jerseys we've ever made. The goal with this jersey was to make it as light as possible without sacrificing transparency, sun protection and convenient features like a zippered key pocket. We've brought in a new fabric that we call Oltre, which roughly translates to beyond, and it really goes beyond what you normally find in a jersey, with the horizontal stripes giving great breathability and stretch while providing good support for the pockets.The jersey will do double duty in your wardrobe: It's the jersey to reach for on hot days or big climbing days in the mountains. But it's also the jersey you'll pull out when you just want to look good, thanks to the no-sew construction around the sleeves and hem and the close attention to detail in every stitch, seam and component. It's designed with a fit that is close to body but slightly more relaxed than our race jerseys.Key Features: The deluxe, impossibly lightweight performance jersey, Oltre 70g stripe mesh base fabric, Stretch woven pocket reinforcement, No-sew welded sleeve and waist trim, Floating pocket construction with 3 main pockets and zippered key pocket, YKK® zipper, Sublimated overprint Superleggera logo on back, 22°-40°C / 70°-104°F, Weight:111 g.
