Softgoods

Cycling kit is personal. A jersey that doesn’t fit right distracts you on a long climb; a shoe with soft soles bleeds watts before you’ve even hit your threshold. Softgoods is the category that rewards the rider who pays attention — to fabric weight, pad construction, sole stiffness, and how a heel cup locks in when things get hard. The right kit doesn’t change how good your legs are on a given day, but it removes friction so you can focus on the riding.

RA Cycles has carried premium cycling apparel, footwear, and accessories since 1976, and the depth of the softgoods catalog reflects decades of fitting serious riders into what actually works. You’ll find Assos bib shorts and winter jackets built for demanding road conditions, Q36.5 pieces assembled with obsessive Italian attention to detail, Velocio merino-blend jerseys that work across three seasons, and Café du Cycliste apparel made in Nice. The footwear range runs from Sidi and DMT to Lake — with options in road, gravel, mountain, and triathlon across a wide range of widths and closures. Helmets from Giro and Kask, eyewear from Oakley and Koo, socks, gloves, warmers — it’s a complete kit room.

Browse by gender with men’s cycling apparel and women’s cycling apparel, or narrow by category: cycling shoes, helmets, eyewear, socks, and cycling gloves.
