What Makes Great Cycling Kit - For Every Rider
When people think about performance cycling kit, it’s often associated with elite racing. But in reality, the same principles apply whether you’re lining up at a national event or heading out for a Sunday club spin. Comfort, fit and performance matter at every level.
From Elite Racing to Everyday Riding
At Spin11, our development process is shaped through our work with the Irish National Team- where every detail is tested, refined and pushed to perform.
But what we’ve learned over the years is simple: those same improvements make an even bigger difference for everyday riders.
Different Riders, Different Needs
Not every rider wants the same thing from their kit.
Some are looking for:
· aerodynamic, race-focused performance
Others prioritise:
· comfort
· durability
· a slightly more relaxed fit
Our latest range has been developed to support both- giving clubs the flexibility to choose what suits their members best.
What’s Changed in the Latest Range
Over the past months we’ve refined and expanded our custom offering to reflect how clubs actually ride today.
This includes:
· aero-focused pieces for performance riders
· updated fabrics that improve breathability and durability
· refined fits across garments
· comfort-led options designed for longer, more relaxed rides
It’s about offering the right kit for the right rider- within the same club.
Why It Matters for Clubs
Clubs today are more diverse than ever. A single team might include:
· competitive racers
· sportive riders
· new members just starting out
A well-designed kit should bring all of them together- not force them into one solution.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud of our long-standing partnership with Cycling Ireland and the role we play in supporting riders at the highest level.
But just as importantly, we’re focused on supporting clubs, teams, and communities across the country- helping every rider feel comfortable, confident, and part of something.
If you’d like to learn more about our latest developments, we’re always happy to guide you through the options and help you find the right solution for your club and its members, at every level.
