The brand’s founder, Simon Mottram, recognized that cyclists everywhere deserved clothing that not only performed well but also inspired them to ride. The name Rapha evokes the legendary French St. Raphael team of the 1960s – a symbol of elegance and a passion for cycling that remains a cornerstone of the brand’s identity to this day.

The groundbreaking Rapha Classic Jersey quickly became an icon and set entirely new standards in the industry, combining style, comfort, and functionality in a way that had never existed before. Today, the brand offers a wide range of collections for all types of cyclists: from professionals racing on world-class tracks to everyday urban enthusiasts.

Every Rapha garment is created in our in-house design studio and tested in real-world conditions for at least 2,500 km, all to ensure perfect fit, durability, and maximum comfort while riding on any terrain.

Rapha is more than just clothing, however. Through films, articles, and events, the brand tells stories that inspire an active lifestyle by cycling. Its own Rapha Cycling Club brings together thousands of cycling enthusiasts worldwide, creating a global community united by a shared passion.
