Spring Into Style: Discover the Santini SS26 Collection for Australian Riders

RTR: Ready to Ride, Ready to Turn Heads

If there’s one collection that truly captures the spirit of summer riding, it’s RTR — Ready To Ride. This unisex collection is built with comfort and sustainability in mind, all while introducing vibrant colourways and next-generation garment dyeing techniques to the world of cycling apparel.

Unlike traditional methods, garment dyeing involves dyeing the garment after it's sewn, allowing for reduced fabric waste, better colour control, and quicker response to market trends. It’s a technique more common in fashion than cycling — but Santini is changing that, making RTR not just a kit but a bold statement.

RTR jerseys come in eight distinct colours — from earthy tones like cappuccino and ochre to rich hues like burgundy, lilac and military green. These colourways are designed to mix and match with men’s and women’s RTR bib shorts, available in complementary tones like pistachio green, chocolate, rust, and blue.

Crafted with mono-material construction, each RTR piece is easier to recycle at the end of its life. And thanks to premium Italian polyamide fabric, it offers a breathable, luxuriously soft feel on the skin.

For riders chasing comfort, versatility and sustainability, RTR is ready for you.

Unico Kit: Second-Skin Fit Meets Supreme Performance

Performance cyclists know that once you’ve found your perfect bib short, you don’t look back. That’s where Santini’s Unico kit steps in — a premium unisex ensemble designed for peak summer performance, with a fit that feels like a second skin.

New for Summer 2025 is the Unico unisex jersey, featuring a lively multicolour design that echoes the internal strap detailing of the bib shorts. The jersey uses Polartec® Power Stretch™ fabric — incredibly lightweight, elastic, and breathable, keeping your body cool and dry even on the hottest rides.

Then there’s the Unico bib shorts, which are already a cult favourite. Now available in a striking white version with multicolour detailing, they’re still available in classic black, nautical blue, and burgundy.

These bib shorts feature thermo-sealed construction — eliminating leg seams and replacing them with a raw-cut edge for superior aerodynamics and reduced friction. The result is a streamlined, chafe-free ride that feels like it was custom-built for you.

Inside, you’ll find Santini’s C3 chamois in the men’s version and C3W chamois in the women’s — both equipped with 3D shaping, multi-density foam, and gel inserts to keep you riding longer in comfort.

If you’re serious about summer riding, Unico is your new warm-weather companion.

Luce & Horizon Jerseys: Tailored for Summer Comfort and Clean Aesthetics

Looking for a jersey that’s technical, versatile, and beautiful to wear? Santini’s Luce and Horizon jerseys are your answer. Both designed with Santini’s classic fit, they provide room to move without compromising on performance or moisture management.

Luce comes in both short and long-sleeve versions, offering flexibility for changeable spring conditions and sun protection for those longer summer rides.

Meanwhile, the Horizon jersey is a special edition — a unique addition only available through Santini Australia. While it may not have as many lifestyle images as other lines, its exclusivity and clean design make it a standout piece for riders who value something a little different.

Both jerseys are made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that wick sweat quickly and keep your core temperature balanced — crucial for Australian conditions where heat and humidity can hit hard.

Cargo C3 Bib Shorts: Storage Meets Endurance

For endurance riders and bikepackers, storage and comfort go hand in hand. Enter the Santini Cargo C3 Bib Shorts — purpose-built for long days in the saddle and adventures that demand a little extra.

Available in men’s and women’s versions, the Cargo bibs feature practical side pockets for snacks, tools, or even your smartphone — so you can ride without a bulging jersey.

But it’s what’s inside that counts. The C3 chamois delivers ergonomic support and impact absorption through gel inserts strategically placed under the sit bones. The shorts themselves are made from a compressive, muscle-supporting fabric that stays breathable even during multi-hour rides.

If your weekends involve hill climbs, gravel grinds, or 100km+ efforts, these bibs are built to go the distance — without weighing you down.

Magic Jacket & Vest: Packable Rain Protection That Breathes

Let’s face it — Australian summer doesn’t always mean blue skies. Between early morning rain or coastal winds, weather can be unpredictable. That’s why the new Santini Magic Jacket and Vest are two essential pieces to carry on every ride.

Built with Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM, this material is made from 100% recycled polyester and offers outstanding waterproofing (10,000 mm) and elite-level breathability (30,000 g/m²/24h). It’s also PFAS-free, making it a better choice for the planet.

The Magic jacket is fully thermo-sealed, abrasion-resistant, and packs into its own zip pocket — making it ideal to stash in your jersey. It also includes a double-slider front zip, a high collar for rain protection, and reflective detailing for visibility.

Available in black, burgundy, cappuccino, and purple, it pairs seamlessly with any jersey in the collection.

The Magic vest offers the same waterproof and breathable performance in a lighter, sleeveless format. Perfect for misty mornings or fast-changing conditions, this vest is the kind of piece you’ll reach for all year round.

Why the SS26 Collection is Built for Australian Riders

Every product in the Santini SS26 range is proudly made in Italy, engineered by a team of passionate cyclists and designers who understand the demands of real-world riding.

But what makes this collection especially suited to Australian riders is its versatility, breathability, and seasonal awareness. With longer days, hotter temperatures, and diverse riding terrain across the country, riders here need kit that performs on multiple fronts.

Whether you're hitting crits, tackling sportives, commuting, or just riding for the love of it, Santini’s commitment to Fit, Performance, Comfort, and Durability shines through in every piece.

Plus, when you shop through Santini Australia, you're not just buying premium cycling clothing — you're supporting local independent bike shops through our partnership with BikeChain.
