RAPHA CORE
Your reliable companion for everyday training.
THE RITES OF PASSAGE
There is no better feeling than realising you’re a rider. Along the way, there will be many rites of passage. Lessons to be learned. Rules of the road. Some written, some not. Designed to be everything you need and nothing you don’t. Rapha Core is the reliable companion for a world of new encounters. From the first time you have to clip in at a light to your first century.
CHOOSING YOUR CORE JERSEY
THE CORE JERSEY
Refined for everyday riding. Made from 100% recycled polyester, delivering the breathability you need for spring and summer temperatures.
THE CORE LIGHTWEIGHT JERSEY
For the most demanding days out, when keeping your body temperature lower is vital. Lightweight, quick-drying mesh fabrics maximise airflow to keep you cool.
THE CORE LONG SLEEVE JERSEY
An essential cold-weather companion ideal for training, easy rides, or commutes. Brushed back thermal fabrics ensure all-day warmth.
CONSISTENT COMFORT
Our Core Bib Shorts feature our signature Classic chamois.
Developed in Italy, our signature seat pad was designed with a focus on maximizing comfort for all-day riding. We chose this premium foundation for our Core Bib Shorts to ensure elite performance and reliable support on every journey.
