Capsule collection Nalini for Daniele Bennati

A story that begins anew

“Nalini is a company that truly understands cycling—it doesn’t just observe it from the outside; it lives it and feels it from the inside. When you wear something from Nalini, you can tell it was designed by people who know what it means to keep pedaling when your legs can’t go on any longer.”

THE PARTNERSHIP

Some friendships never end. Daniele Bennati first rode a Nalini as a young professional—with Acqua e Sapone, Domina Vacanze, Phonak, and Liquigas—during the miles that forge true cyclists. Those miles where you learn that fatigue takes shape, and that the clothing you wear can make the difference between holding on and giving in.

During those years, something was built that went beyond the bike: friendship and trust were forged. The trust that comes from knowing there’s someone on the other side who truly understands. The Nalini for Bennati Capsule is the natural culmination of that journey. Not a commercial partnership. A homecoming.

At Nalini, we don’t look for famous faces; we look for people capable of contributing with experience and vision. Daniele Bennati is both.

THE COLLECTION

54 career victories. Twenty years of races, crashes, impossible comebacks, and victories snatched at the finish line. No one knows better than Daniele Bennati what it means to have the right gear on when it counts—when the wind is against you, the climb seems endless, and the peloton is breathing down your neck.

Every piece in this capsule collection is born from that awareness. From a concrete and honest dialogue between those who have battled in every kind of race and those who, for over fifty years, have been developing clothing to tackle them head-on. Extreme technicality, aesthetic simplicity. No frills. Just what you really need.

At the heart of the collection is an ergonomic, aerodynamic base layer and two top-of-the-line jerseys that embody all the technical expertise of the Ergo line — a distillation of cutting-edge research and innovation developed at the highest level, designed in close collaboration with professional teams. Because certain solutions aren’t conceived at a desk: they’re refined kilometer after kilometer, race after race.
Rounding out the capsule collection are two jerseys, a pair of shorts, and a vest. Colors chosen by Bennati. The comfort of those who know what it means to suffer. A design that sacrifices nothing to ornamentation and everything to performance.

"I’ve spent twenty years understanding what it means to have the right clothing on in the moments that matter.
Not in the easy moments—in the difficult ones. When it’s raining outside, your legs are burning, and there are still fifty kilometers to the finish line.

This capsule collection wasn’t born from a creative brief. It was born from those days. From a vision shared with those who know cycling as well as I do, just from a different perspective. To give cyclists gear that makes no compromises, ever."
