Rapha launches Graffiti collection

The following article first appeared on Bikeradar.

With the Tour de France just around the corner, Rapha has just released a limited edition collection inspired by the ‘road graffiti’ that's seen on the tarmac of many a race. 

Be it names, nicknames, words of encouragement, insults or simply blatant self-promotion, the art scrawled across the tarmac at key sections of stages is an integral part of the experience of any big road race. It's the enthusiasm, energy and atmosphere created by the crowd that really makes some of these events special.

Rapha has tried to capture that with its latest collection, featuring a graffiti inspired print in either ‘Carbon Grey’ or ‘Hi-Vis Pink’.

The collection consists of the Pro Team Flyweight Jersey, Pro Team Long Sleeve Thermal Jersey, Pro Team Sleeveless Baselayer, Souplesse Flyweight Jersey, Souplesse Thermal Jersey, Souplesse Mesh Baselayer and Pro Team Socks.
