Softgoods

Softgoods at RA Cycles covers everything you wear and carry on the bike — jerseys, bib shorts, jackets, skinsuits, shoes, helmets, eyewear, gloves, socks, headwear, arm warmers, and the accessories that complete a well-considered kit. With over 2,200 products from the brands serious riders actually rely on, this is where you build out your riding wardrobe from base layer to outer shell. The selection spans every discipline — road, gravel, mountain, and triathlon — with options calibrated for summer heat, winter cold, and everything in between.

Whether you’re after race-day kit from Assos or Q36.5, technical protection for long winter miles, or everyday riding pieces that hold up season after season, you’ll find it here. RA Cycles has been fitting riders into serious cycling kit since 1976 — this selection reflects that depth of experience.

Cycling Kit at RA Cycles

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.

R&A Cycles - 50th Anniversary

50 YEARS AND COUNTING

From a Brooklyn storefront to flagships in Walnut Creek and Miami, from handwritten mail orders to a fully digital custom bike builder — RA Cycles has spent half a century doing one thing: serving riders who demand the best. That half-century belongs as much to you as it does to us. The riders who kept coming back, who sent their friends, who trusted us with bikes that matter — you're the reason we're still here. Here's to the next fifty.
