Rapha has unveiled its 2025 kit designs for EF Education-EasyPost, EF Education-Oatly and EF Education-Aevolo.
Developed in collaboration with the athletes themselves – “a collective of talismanic individuals” – the kit delivers race-winning innovation with an injection of trademark panache.
On the launch of the 2025 team kits, Thomas Long, athlete and Teams Manager at Rapha comments: “2025 is our seventh season supporting EF Pro Cycling – a team that redefines pro racing with their boldness and originality.
“Since day one, we’ve shared a mission to push the sport of cycling forward. Their unique philosophy shines through in our 2025 kit design, celebrating diamonds forged under the pressure of the world’s greatest sport.”
In signature pink, the EF Pro Cycling 2025 design pays homage to the argyle diamonds of the team’s heritage, decorated with hallmarks and hidden gems. This season, the team will race in a number of new Rapha innovations, developed for years and tested over hundreds of thousands of kilometres to give them an edge.
Owain Doull, EF Education-EasyPost rider, talking about the 2025 kit launch, states: “You’ve got the best kit in the peloton and 99% of the other riders are envious of the fact that you’re racing in Rapha. I think that’s a massive advantage, not just on the bike, but also in the head.”
The 2025 EF Pro Cycling Collection features new and improved Pro Team Bib Shorts, Rapha’s most comfortable high-performance bibs yet; the Pro Team Aero Jersey; Pro Team Training Jersey; Pro Team Base Layers; and Pro Team Socks. Plus off-bike pieces including a Scarf, a Hoodie, a Cap, and T-shirts.
As we’ve come to expect from a Rapha launch, there is no sparing the prose to praise the pros, and the kit they train and race in – poetic words are, after all, a signature element of the Rapha brand. The 2025 team kit launch is no exception. Read on at your peril…. you have been warned!
“The women and men of EF Pro Cycling are a rare species, forged out of the terrain and the sport they inhabit. Honed by courage and commitment, their brilliance lies in pushing themselves to ride faster, further and higher. Grit turns to glory, calloused hands and scars signal the sacrifice that shapes them.”
The new team issues, which will be available for purchase in February, via rapha.cc and in Rapha Clubhouses globally, as well as in select Rapha partner retailers – enabling fans worldwide to “celebrate the grit and guile of EF Pro Cycling athletes as diamonds forged under pressure”.
