RAPHA20 EDITIONS
CREATING ART FROM SCIENCE
Introducing the latest of our Rapha 20 Editions, re-constructed designs from two decades of performance, progress and panache: the Data Print collector's set.
First released in 2015, the design was inspired by the journey of professional racer Peter Kennaugh at the 2013 Tour. Using measurements of distance, elevation gain and intensity levels, the design mapped these numbers to generate a unique geometric pattern, the first of its kind and a radical new approach to Rapha’s graphical storytelling.
Creating art from science, it marked a new era for Rapha’s approach to performance and design at the pinnacle of the sport. Find out more about the story behind the design, ahead of the launch next week.
WEEK ONE
PROVEN IN THE PELOTON
A relentless first week of the world’s biggest race where we saw our team EF Education–EasyPost deliver Richard Carapaz into the yellow jersey, the first Ecuadorian in history to do so. The men in pink took full advantage of the Pro Team Aero Jersey, the fastest race jersey we have ever built.

FAR rides are epic one day journeys with full-support from the RCC team, leaving you to focus on a challenging but very rewarding day out.
The first edition of FAR took place in Boulder, Colorado in early June. Members travelled from as far as Mexico City to traverse the magnificent Rockies and pedal their way up Mt. Blue Sky, one of the few paved ‘Fourteeners’ [a mountain pass that rises above 14,000 feet] in the state. Check out our report and find out more about the benefits of RCC membership.
On July 16th, we’re releasing the latest instalment in the RCC Artist Collection, in collaboration with Yoon Hyup. Yoon's minimalistic style using dots and dashes creates a unique perspective on cityscapes including his hometown, Seoul and current home, New York. Yoon has collaborated with Rapha on a capsule collection that is inspired by cycling experiences in Seoul.
The collection will be available to RCC members via Early Access before general release, and we are celebrating this collection with the communities with events in Seoul and New York. Join the RCC now to get ahead of the pack.
