Castelli Sanremo RC Speed Suit SS23

Castelli Sanremo RC Speed Suit

All the aero gains of a TT suit with the comfort and functionality you need for road racing. The Castelli Sanremo RC Speed Suit is the ultimate choice for those of you who are seeking an edge over your road cycling rivals. 

Speeding to the Future

The first-generation Sanremo suit actually made its pro-race debut at Paris Roubaix. And it was a winning debut too and changed road-racing kit for good. 

This Sanremo RC Speed Suit is an evolution of that original suit and offers you a host of features that could just make the difference between winning and being the first loser. In essence, the suit is an amalgamation of Castelli’s Aero Race 6 Jersey and Free Aero RC Bib Shorts. By integrating both garments you gain both comfort and aerodynamic efficiencies. 

At speeds of 30 to 55 km/h you’ll experience the best gains. Castelli’s engineers have been able to reduce the seam and panel count, increasing comfort and reducing chafing. And using CFD analysis, seams are placed out of the airflow while low-drag fabrics are positioned to impart the most advantage. 

Uncompromised Comfort

With speed comes intense effort. And hence heat. And sweat. However, highly breathable and quick-wicking materials to regulate your body temperature to prevent overheating and deal quickly with moisture. The 3D mesh back, in particular, is quick to draw moisture off the skin and allow unimpeded airflow to speed up sweat evaporation.

As befits a suit for use on the road, you have the benefit of storage pockets. Perfect for storing an energy gel or energy bar.

Both sleeves and leg grippers get a raw cut finish for the smoothest and most comfortable fit. The leg grippers stay put without the need for silicone too.

Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad

The first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It’s now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it – thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum. The results are outstanding comfort with reduced bulk.

Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you’re on the saddle for hours on end.
