2025 Spring Cycling

The 2025 Spring Cycling collection features a comprehensive range of mountain bike gear designed for trail and enduro riding. This includes technical jerseys with moisture-wicking fabrics, durable pants and shorts engineered for pedaling efficiency, protective jackets with ventilation systems, and base layers for temperature regulation. The collection also encompasses gloves with grip-optimized palms, riding socks, and protective gear including helmets and body armor—all developed with input from professional riders to deliver performance across varying spring conditions.

This collection is specifically engineered for spring riding conditions, which typically involve variable weather including mild temperatures, occasional rain, and fluctuating trail conditions. The apparel features breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics with strategic ventilation to manage warmth during climbs while providing adequate coverage for descents. Many pieces incorporate weather-resistant treatments and layering compatibility, allowing riders to adapt to changing conditions throughout a ride. For extreme weather or winter riding, consider our seasonal collections designed for those specific conditions.

The collection integrates comprehensive protection designed specifically for mountain biking demands. Jackets and jerseys feature abrasion-resistant panels in high-impact zones, while pants and shorts include reinforced construction in critical areas. Many garments are designed with pockets and compatibility for CE-certified armor inserts at shoulders, elbows, and back. The collection's helmets meet or exceed international safety certifications, and protective gear items incorporate advanced impact-absorbing materials. All protection elements are engineered to maintain mobility and comfort without compromising safety, reflecting Alpinestars' "ALPINESTARS PROTECTS" commitment to rider safety.

Mountain bike apparel in this collection features a more relaxed, movement-oriented fit compared to road cycling gear. The cut allows for greater range of motion required for technical trail riding, bike handling, and body positioning on varied terrain. Jerseys are typically longer in the back and sleeves to provide coverage in the riding position, while pants and shorts offer articulated knees and a higher back rise for comfort on the bike. The fit accommodates protective armor and layering while avoiding the restrictive, aerodynamic cuts common in road cycling. This design philosophy prioritizes durability, protection, and unrestricted movement over pure aerodynamic efficiency.

Yes, most items in the collection are designed for convenient home care. Technical fabrics should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat drying, as these can degrade moisture-wicking properties and damage technical materials. For garments with CE-certified armor, remove inserts before washing if possible. Helmets and hard-shell protection should be cleaned with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals. Air drying is recommended to preserve fabric integrity and extend product lifespan. Always check individual garment care labels for specific instructions, as some items may require special treatment to maintain their technical performance and protective properties.
