The result of a two-year dialogue between Rapha and BYBORRE, the Limited Edition Transfer Collection considers cyclists’ needs at all stages of their game; from travelling and warming up, to breaks, cooling down, and, of course, showing off your team throughout.

Every piece in this pioneering range was crafted from a unique knitting technology developed to maximise the potential for recovery between hard race stages. The pieces showcase the benefits of BYBORRE INSIDE, a process that allows other brands to push their fabrications further through access to BYBORRE’s innovative textile-making expertise.

"All pieces come in an inviting dark green with graphics that celebrate Marco Pantani’s favourite climb, Monte Carpegna."

On the Limited Edition Transfer Hoodie, insulating panels are crafted from two fabrics, both feature cotton and a Meryl® Hydrogen nylon for added for durability. A merino wool offers softness and natural antibacterial properties, while a lightweight polyester filling yarn provides warmth. There are non-padded side panels for ventilation, pockets for storage, and the signature BYBORRE knit technique on the hood, which provides extra padding for cosy sleep breaks on the move.

Also available are sweatpants, shorts, a long sleeve t-shirt and a signature BYBORRE scarf, ideal for keeping a cyclist’s neck warm. All pieces come in an inviting dark green with graphics that celebrate Marco Pantani’s favourite climb, Monte Carpegna.
