From Training to Race Day: Why Fit Matters in the Pro Collection

The Pro Collection exists for riders who demand more from their kit. For those chasing personal bests, striving for podium wins or attacking a climb to claim the KOM, aerodynamics play a defining role in saving seconds when it matters most. When every watt saved counts, reducing drag is key.

That’s why every piece in the Pro Collection focuses on delivering a sleek body-mapped fit, advanced materials that smooth airflow and performance-led refinements to optimise aero efficiency.

What is Aero Performance in Cycling?

Aero performance in cycling refers to the reduction of aerodynamic drag to improve efficiency and speed. It’s the reason why time trial riders hold an aggressively low position on the bike, why road racers seek smooth airflow over their body and why every pro team invests in speed optimised equipment.

Aerodynamics in cycling became a key focus in the 1980s when pro teams began experimenting with deep-section wheels to time trial helmets and wind-tunnel-tested frames. Soon, clothing followed, shifting from loose wool jerseys to skin-tight lycra to cut air resistance. Today, every seam, fabric, and panel placement is fine-tuned for efficiency, ensuring every watt counts.

Why Does Being Aero Matter in Cycling?

At high speeds, air resistance is the biggest force a rider has to overcome, especially on flat roads. By optimising aerodynamics, riders can sustain higher speeds with less effort, save crucial watts in a breakaway and maintain efficiency over long distances. Whether you’re leading the charge or riding solo against the clock, reducing drag is the most effective way to ride faster without increasing power output.

Why do the Garments Feel More Compressive?

Pro-level aero garments are designed with a compressive, second-skin fit to eliminate excess fabric and wrinkles to ensure smooth airflow across the body. The compressive nature also provides muscle support, reducing fatigue on long efforts. Every panel is strategically placed to keep the fit dialled-in with no excess movement or wasted energy.

Does Being Aero Mean Faster?

A more aerodynamic rider will be faster than a less aerodynamic one. Even small refinements such as switching to an aero jersey, wearing well-fitted bib shorts, or positioning seams to reduce drag can result in measurable gains over time. In pro racing, the difference between first and second place on the podium often comes down to milliseconds. The aero refinements Le Col made in the wind tunnel for the SUB6 RAAM world record attempt saved the riders more than 4 hours over the horse of the race.
