FOR THE BEST ATHLETES IN THE WORLD, THE WORLD’S FASTEST SPEEDSHELL

It is incredible how curating the smallest, apparently insignificant details, can mean the difference between a place on the podium or the disappointment of a defeat. The study of aerodynamics is fundamental in track cycling. We started with the high-performance products used in Rio in 2016 and launched a research and development process in collaboration with the Australian National Team, to make the skinsuits that will be used at the next Tokyo Olympic Games even more aerodynamic and better performing. The same studies carried out were then also applied to the production of aerodynamic skinsuits for road time trials such as the Rocamadur time trial, 20th stage of the 2022 Tour de France.

The speedsuits the competitors wear is pivotal to aerodynamic performance. Thanks to the incredible wealth of knowledge and experience built up through prestige partnerships with the world’s top teams and its constant materials research and development, Santini and its staff were able to guarantee the riders the speedsuit that met every single one of their individual requirements in addition to adopting innovative technical solutions and high performance materials.

The Research & Development process was based on:

1. Analysis of the structure of the materials to find the best combination of fabrics, cut, and personalized fitting on the individual athletes of the National team and the World's top athletes (Wout van Aert, Vingegaard e Pogacar). The research is aimed at finding the material that by elasticity, position and structure positively affects the air flow that comes in contact with specific parts of the body, creating a sort of continuous micro flow that acts as an aerodynamic boost.

2. Testing in the laboratory and in the wind tunnel of different prototypes to find which is ideal for the specific discipline and evaluate the performance, resistance and stability in each situation. The results are the skinsuits shown below that put the athlete in a position to give their best, respecting the rules that required by all teams according to the UCI.

The images shown here are those of the colors of the Australian National team but the models are fully customizable.

STARTING TODAY YOU CAN BUY THEM!

Starting today you can also buy the high-tech products used by the best athletes in the world and you can even customize them in some parts ensuring a perfect fit adapted to your measurements. The garments can be purchased with a minimum customization of fifteen pieces at a price of € 900.00 each. If, on the other hand, you want your own skinsuit, adapted to your specific measurements, you can come directly to us where we will take your measurements and create your unique piece at a price of € 2000.00.
