Ride into 2016 with Style – Australian Cycling Jersey Trends

Everyone can ride a bike, but not everyone can ride with style. The colours and the flamboyance of pro-cycling teams and hot brand has always been attractive to cycling fans. But cycling style no longer is dependent on your favourite cycling team; hundreds of cycle-wear brands across the globe have escaped the limitations of sponsor emblazoned team-kit and are creating exciting and original new styles.

For our selection of hot styles to take you into the new year, we are sticking to Australian only brands. Some of the brands have low production volumes and their limited edition kit quickly sells out. Some of these brands boast a growing global customer base, cyclists who keen for particularly original kit and the Australian flare.

The brands included in this selection have a broad colour range and I have narrowed it to the trending colours for this seasons, blues and blacks. Don;’t forget, real style is also about matching your bike, helmets, socks, gloves and sunglasses for that super-cool look so check out the other colour variations.

Before starting, do you want the good news, or the bad news? Let’s start with the good news, most of these brands also have a a good selection of women’s kit and sometimes unique styles just for women so certainly worth browsing. The bad news is that brands who have limited production sell out very quickly, two jerseys featured here are no longer available… it pays to stay tuned to the brands you like.
