Following the success of the 2024 and 2025 editions, the technical cycling apparel line expands with new garments, including lifestyle pieces
An evolution of the capsule collection inspired by the Pirelli Sport Club, combining heritage, innovation, and performance.
Milan, May 19, 2026 – Santini Cycling, a market leader in cycling apparel production, and Pirelli Design, the Group division dedicated to design and lifestyle projects, present the new Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection for cyclists, an evolution of a project launched in 2024 celebrating the connection between sport, style, and innovation. Inspired by the Pirelli Sport Club, founded in Milan in 1922 to promote employee wellbeing through physical activity, the collection renews the dialogue between two Made in Italy excellence brands united by a passion for cycling, further strengthening the bond between tradition and technological research.
Following the success of the previous two editions, the new collection expands the offering by introducing new garments and updating the graphic lines with refined details and cutting-edge technical solutions. The result is the Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection, designed to accompany cyclists in every moment, from high-performance riding to everyday lifestyle wear.
Among the highlights of the line are the new technical jerseys. Alongside the continuing Ruota model, with a design inspired by the dynamism of a spinning wheel, and Tape, which recalls Pirelli’s 1960s advertising graphics, the new Fast jersey makes its debut. Developed to guarantee maximum aerodynamic performance, it features ultra-light fabrics and a “second-skin” fit that minimizes drag. The design of the Pirelli SC jersey has also been renewed with an all-over logo pattern, available in black and in the new chocolate colorway.
All jerseys in the Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection feature a unisex fit and are paired with the Pirelli SC bib shorts with C3 chamois, designed for long-distance rides.
Joining the range is a new heritage-inspired piece, the Pirelli SC wool jersey, a tribute to the elegance of vintage cycling. It combines wool and refined details such as an embroidered Pirelli logo, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a metal front zipper.
One of the key innovations of the Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection is the new road skinsuit, engineered to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. The upper section uses a highly breathable, quick-drying fabric engineered to support thermoregulation even under maximum effort. The sleeves, made from woven fabric, ensure a stable and precise fit while optimizing aerodynamic performance thanks to a special striped construction. The lower section, made from high-density fabric, provides effective muscular support.
Technical pieces completing the look include baselayers, a packable wind jacket and vest, alongside accessories such as socks, cycling caps, and water bottles.
Alongside the technical offering, Santini and Pirelli are also introducing a lifestyle line that interprets the spirit of the Pirelli Sport Club beyond cycling. T-shirts, sweatshirts, and casual garments combine premium materials and distinctive graphics for a contemporary and versatile style.
The new Santini x Pirelli Sport Club 2026 collection represents a further evolution of a project that unites sporting passion, industrial culture, and Italian design, confirming a shared vision focused on innovation, quality, and attention to detail.
The collection is available on the official website www.santinicycling.com
