“After 17 years of innovating road and gravel cycling apparel, now is the right time for Rapha to enter the mountain bike market,” Rapha MTB general manager Jake Rosenbloum said in a press release. “We’re confident we can have an equally meaningful impact on the future of the sport.”

With the brand’s signature sleek, muted styling, the pieces in the collection (which includes both men’s and women’s) are unmistakably Rapha, but the company also engineered them to be sustainable and extra durable for the trail, too. To do it, Rapha enlisted the help of elite MTB and XC riders like Jill Kintner, Eliot Jackson, Adam Craig, Bryn Atkinson, and Joey Schusler. They wear-tested each piece to make sure the items meet the unique demands of mountain biking, where wayward branches, dirt, and rough falls can put extra stress on apparel. Rapha also prioritized using sustainable materials, like the recycled fabric used in the Trail 3⁄4 Sleeve Jersey (see below), and ensured each item is built to last. To that end, many of the pieces come with repair patches made with excess fabric from the manufacturing process. That saves scraps from going to the landfill, and it helps you prolong the life of your garment. And if your shirt or shorts sustain a more serious gash, you can send it in to Rapha for a free repair. The company’s repaired over 34,000 pieces since 2004. So what’s on offer? Here’s a look at some highlights from the men’s Performance Trailwear line.

- Trail 3⁄4 Sleeve Jersey Made from 100-percent recycled fabric, the 3⁄4 Sleeve Jersey is constructed with a textured knit for optimal breathability, while the sleeves are woven to hold up against scrapes and close encounters with brush.
