L’Étape Cycliste
Ride hard. Arrive sharp.
Built for the ride.
Refined for what comes after.
Why l’étape cycliste exists
Commuting has always required compromise.
Performance kit works on the bike. But not when you arrive. So riders adapt. They change. They cover up. They settle.
We didn’t think that was good enough.
L’étape Cycliste exists to eliminate the false choice between performance and presentation.
Technical in construction.
Refined in form.
Bibs are not for everyone...
Most riders aren’t wearing bibs because they’re ideal for commuting. They’re wearing them because there hasn’t been a better option.
Commuters have always had to choose: Ride properly or Arrive properly
Until now.
Not cycling kit. Not casual wear.
A new category of commuter performance.
A tailored outer short.
A fully integrated performance liner.
Featuring Elastic Interface® performance chamois technology.
Designed specifically for the daily ride and everything that comes after.
