Since its meteoric rise, starting with the Classic Jersey, Rapha has been at the pointy end of cycling apparel. Often trendsetting and regularly collaborative they have morphed from mainstays of the roadie scene to gravel, bikepacking and even MTB.
You’ll find its products in our lists of best cycling jerseys and best cycling shorts, and although much of its range is excellent a common criticism levelled against the brand is the cost of the products. That’s where we come in!
Rapha has the Archive Sale, a repository for past seasons gear, but it can be hard to sort the wheat from the chaff; if you know what you’re after then crack on, but if you need a little more help, or even just a bit of inspiration then scroll down to find our curated pics of the best items.
There is also another option: if you are going to be buying more than one item anyway, you can bundle them together and save some money on the overall package.

But who are Rapha?
In 2004, Simon Mottram looked at the landscape of available cycling clothing and decided there was a gap in the market. He introduced Rapha with the goal of mixing high fashion and high performance in a particular style. The result combines simple but bold styling with high-quality designs and fabrics. At one time Rapha was exclusively a road cycling brand and they still have a strong connection to road cycling. They sponsor WorldTour teams EF Education-EasyPost and the Canyon SRAM women’s team and they are well represented in our road-focused buyer’s guides, such as best cycling shorts, best cycling jerseys, best cycling shoes, and more. At the same time, Rapha has doubled down on a kind of randonneuring, or audax, style of cycling that focuses more on the adventure than the road surface. With the new focus has come new options for clothing to cover gravel cycling and even mountain biking clothing (opens in new tab).
Rapha’s well-thought-out kit caters for every level of rider, whether you’re starting out with their more-affordable Core line or leading the pack in the WorldTeam kit worn by EF Education-EasyPost and Canyon-SRAM. Rapha doesn’t just make cycling clothing and accessories but casual clothing suited to commuting, relaxed rides and wearing off the bike.
The brand’s loyal following is well…
