A professional cycling kit is designed to deliver maximum efficiency during training sessions, races and long-distance rides by combining advanced technical fabrics, an ergonomic fit and innovative technologies that enhance comfort, aerodynamics and muscle support. Unlike a traditional cycling kit, it is conceived as an integrated system in which every garment works together to improve comfort, performance and riding efficiency.
With RAY by Nalini, every element has been developed to work in perfect synergy. Jersey, bib shorts and socks are engineered using advanced technical materials and an aerodynamic construction to optimise every stage of the ride. The combination of graduated compression, moisture management, thermoregulation and muscle support allows each garment to complement the others, delivering a consistent fit, greater stability in the saddle and lasting comfort, even on the longest and most demanding rides.
The quality of a professional cycling kit therefore depends not on the individual garments, but on the balance between all of its components. When fabrics, technologies and garment construction are designed to work together, the result is a complete system that enhances performance and supports every cyclist, whatever the route.
A professional cycling kit should be designed to provide comfort, efficiency and unrestricted freedom of movement in every riding condition, delivering outstanding performance during both intense training sessions and long-distance rides. Achieving this requires far more than premium technical fabrics. Every component must address specific biomechanical and physiological needs, helping to improve pedalling efficiency while supporting the rider's overall wellbeing. The essential characteristics of a high-performance cycling kit include:
A professional cycling kit is the ideal choice for riders who want to maximise their performance during both training and competition. Compared with a conventional cycling kit, a high-performance system offers a more precise fit, improved aerodynamics and consistent support throughout every stage of the ride.
Although developed to meet the demands of high-level athletes, it is by no means reserved exclusively for professionals. Enthusiasts who regularly tackle long road rides, sportives, amateur races or structured training sessions can also benefit from advanced technical fabrics, exceptional breathability and a construction specifically designed to support the body during sustained efforts.
A professional cycling kit is particularly suited to:
RAY by Nalini represents a new generation of professional cycling kits. It is far more than a technical cycling outfit made from innovative materials; it is an integrated system developed through a scientific approach, driven by the ambition to understand how cycling apparel can actively contribute to athletic performance.
To achieve this, Nalini partnered with CeRiSM – the Research Centre for Sport, Mountain and Health at the University of Verona, combining advanced garment design with a scientific research programme focused on analysing cyclists' physiological responses during exercise. The objective was clear: to create a cycling kit that does more than accompany performance - it actively supports it.
The result is a complete system comprising a jersey, bib shorts and socks, all developed together so that each element works seamlessly with the others to deliver superior aerodynamics, stability, muscle support and comfort throughout every ride.
At the heart of the collection is Viflo, Nalini's exclusive yarn integrated throughout the kit. This innovative fibre incorporates particles capable of emitting FIR (Far Infrared Rays), a technology designed to promote the rider's physiological wellbeing both during and after exercise. Its key benefits include:
The RAY jersey is constructed from a micro-perforated woven fabric that combines compression, lightness and breathability. Its compact construction provides a close-fitting race fit, while the three-dimensional woven sleeves optimize airflow and reduce aerodynamic drag at higher speeds. The fabric also helps keep the skin dry, maintaining consistent comfort as training intensity increases.
The RAY bib shorts are designed to support riders during their most demanding rides. Their compact fabric delivers even compression to support the muscles and improve stability while pedalling. The minimalist upper section with three-dimensional braces provides outstanding ergonomics and freedom of movement, while the raw-cut leg grippers keep the shorts securely in place without creating pressure points. The Randonnée 2.0 pad, engineered with high-density materials and an anatomical construction, delivers exceptional comfort even after many hours in the saddle.
Completing the system are the RAY socks, featuring a high-compression elastic construction that supports the foot and ankle without restricting natural movement. Ventilated zones improve breathability, while the stabilising mid-foot band enhances fit and helps keep feet dry and comfortable throughout the ride.
The effectiveness of the RAY kit has been validated through comparative testing carried out by CeRiSM using Under-23 athletes. Compared with conventional cycling apparel, riders wearing the RAY kit recorded:
These laboratory findings translate into tangible benefits on the road. Every component of the kit is designed to work in harmony with the body, promoting more efficient energy management, greater consistency in performance and outstanding comfort, even during the most demanding training sessions.
