This jersey is made for those JRA rides. Just Riding Along. Youre not aiming for new Strava records or to win the city-limit sprints, but you do want a jersey thats comfortable and looks great. The jersey has a neutral cut — not racy but also not flapping in the wind. But the high-stretch micro-piqué fabric means it fits more shapes than a Castelli race jersey. Adding to the fit and comfort are the four-way-stretch sleeves that seem to disappear, since you dont really feel them at all, right down to the raw-cut sleeve ending that never constricts. This jersey offers full sun protection: the main body is rated at UPF 50 while the sleeves are UPF 30, which means they still block 97% of damaging UV rays. Important Castelli features like the drop-pocket design, easy-sliding full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper, and reflective details on the back will keep this jersey in the short rotation in your wardrobe. Micro-piqué polyester knit on the body for great moisture management with a soft hand Velocity Rev2 fabric on sleeves with raw-cut sleeve endings Full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper with neck protector 3 rear pockets with drop-pocket design for optimal pocket placement Silicone gripper elastic at waist Reflective details on both sides of pocket 16-38°C / 61-100°F Weight: 130 g

◌Vitus Energie EVO C Cyclocross Bike (Apex)The Energie EVO C from Vitus is a top-quality cyclocross race bike that's engineered and equipped to ensure outstanding performance and reliability anywhere. It features a full-carbon frameset with revised geometry for exceptional agility and control while offering a sublime combination of durability and style at a low weight. Plus, Vitus has fitted this bike with a SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed groupset that includes a 40-tooth chainset, an 11-36T cassette and Apex hydraulic disc brakes - this gives you a wide gear range for climbing steep hills, all-terrain pedalling efficiency and all-weather braking control. This versatile bike is ready for cyclocross racing across wet and slippy terrain and is your dependable journey companion for daily commuting and weekend off-road adventures.Durable, Functional and Stylish Carbon Cyclocross Race BikeAt its core the Vitus Energie EVO C Apex Cyclocross Bike has the clean lines and sleek aesthetic of a modern carbon race bike. But its best side is not the one leaning pristine against an immaculate garage wall or sparkling for Instagram. It's the one ready for the real world - to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather. This bike cares not for your ability or ambition. Just want to finish? That's cool, but if you also want to get amongst it this has the cutting-edge design to mix it with any competition. The buzz of race day, the nerves, the friendly competition with clubmates, the thrill of the experience, the personal bests, the feel of a great bike and wanting to do it all again next week. That's what the Energie EVO is about.Ideal for Racing, Group Rides and All-Weather CommutingWhether racing for the podium or just for fun, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. A flatter top tube sits comfortably on you shoulder when carrying and a single-entry cable routing system reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not affected by wet conditions or a jet wash. A revised carbon lay-up improves the stiffness for powering out of the turns, where it really matters mid-race, while also reducing weight for when you need to carry or charge into a climb. Stable, Agile and Responsive All-Terrain PerformanceThe top tube is slightly longer and the stem a little shorter than before, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end, so the handling feels snappy and responsive - this is immediate control, whatever the conditions. Frame clearance around the wheels is generous, so your speed won't be slowed, nor the bike weighed down by mud. This clearance also makes the bike easy to clean, when the racing is done you can spray the bike down quickly and put it straight into the car. A Vitus is always best being ridden, not hanging on a wall, waiting or posing. So, when you're not lining up for cyclocross, thanks to an innovative removable seat stay bridge, you can add mudguards and carry on with your winter training and year-round commuting. However hard the ride, with the Vitus Energie EVO C Cyclocross Bike (Apex), the fun is always turned right up.One-piece Monocoque FrameExpertly crafted with no joins, the uniquely layered continuous UD carbon frame is strong and light. And those modern, clean lines look awesome too!Performance Design (previously Race-Fit Geometry)The geometry of top-tier Vitus frames has been carefully calculated to ensure that comfort, aerodynamics and power are balanced, so the ride feel is enhanced for the best performance, and enjoyment, in all conditions.Class-leading Mud ClearanceMud is slow. To combat that we've made the clearance between tyre and frame as wide as possible (within UCI-regulations, of course) so the bike won't get weighed down and your drivetrain won't clog in those wet and sticky races.Mudguard MountsThe addition of an innovative removable mudguard mount between the seatstays gives you the option to keep using this bike beyond cyclocross racing, be that commuting, winter training or exploring remote lanes.Key Features: The Vitus top-tier Performance Design geometry considers aerodynamics, comfort and power as a whole system UCI-approved and podium-ready.
