Rapha introduces its new collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2021 season entitled 'Flying Colours.' The brand delivers a slew of goods that are functional for cycling purposes with a bright tonal palette for a playful touch during the colder seasons of the year.
The on-bike capsule celebrates an optimistic standpoint that the brand has for the season ahead of us. This is translated through a slew of bibs, accessories, and jerseys detailed in a palette prepared for the season. It features items that prepare wearers for the sport from head to toe and even beyond.
