Tried and tested

Rapha has collaborated with some of the most prominent amateur teams around the world to road test Rapha Custom in 2018. Some focus on the podium whilst others ride for fun or to explore. Both the Race and the Club ranges were used for training and racing and performed outstandingly, demonstrating product longevity and technical superiority. Rapha Custom has already produced kit for Richard Sachs Cyclocross, DRAPAC, FAST Amsterdam, Kibosh, and Team Yacht Club, amongst many others.
