Bergamo-based brand Santini Cycling is renewing its partnership with the L'Eroica event for the 2026 season , introducing a new collection that combines innovation and style. It's called Santini x Eroica 2026 and is a line of cycling clothing with a unique style and distinctive character . Because L'Eroica isn't just an event, it's a style and a sense of belonging to share with others.
A way of experiencing cycling and historic cycling where passion, challenge, and style find a shared meaning of existence.
Traveling through time
When L'Eroica was born, several years ago now, it wasn't just an event for cycling enthusiasts, but a way to travel back in time through the magic of pedals and bicycles . Gravel, dirt roads flowing beneath your wheels, climbs, villages, the beauty of effort and the great charm of the feats of yesteryear. Now no longer enclosed in history books or vintage photographs, but open to anyone who wants to try this way of experiencing cycling.
And it is precisely from this principle and these ideas that the Santini x Eroica 2026 collection was born, where the Bergamo brand wanted to combine its knowledge and passion for cycling clothing with the tradition of this sport.
Charm
Tradition and innovation merge in the Santini x Eroica 2026 collection , which seeks to strike the perfect balance between vintage-inspired wool garments and the thoughtful touches of modern technical apparel. Santini was called upon to take on this challenge, and the result is a line with a bold, timeless character , featuring cutting-edge technical solutions that combine all of this with high performance.
A lifestyle line has also been created, designed to bring the Eroica style into everyday life. The star of the Santini x Eroica collection is the wool line, which celebrates the aesthetics of vintage cycling. The wool jerseys – Colnago and 29° Gaiole e Vino – feature vintage details such as mother-of-pearl buttons on the back pockets and metal zips , recalling the classic style of cycling uniforms of yesteryear. These jerseys are Eroica Approved and can be worn during Eroica events, guaranteeing an authentic historical experience.
Price of the wool sweater: 170 euros, for the wool shorts the cost is 150 euros.
Modern
Alongside the line that fully reflects vintage cycling, here are the modern wool garments, made with a blend of merino wool and polyester. Vintage appeal but contemporary technical performance . The collection also includes wool shorts designed for long distances, with a GITevo chamois with gel insert to ensure maximum comfort and protection even on dirt roads.
The design that combines antique charm and modern performance also applies to the summer garments, designed to combine style and comfort . Santini has created two jerseys: Orcia and Timo (unisex). Both are paired with the Timo baselayer. These two products offer the cyclist breathability, lightness, and excellent moisture management. Completing the look are the Vigna shorts , which combine elastic compression, breathability, and comfort thanks to the GITevo chamois with a gel core.
Price: Iris, Orcia and Timo jersey: 110 euros, for the Vigna shorts: 130 euros.
Casual line and prices
The unique spirit of L'Eroica transcends the road and becomes a lifestyle with a complete range of everyday garments. Crewneck sweatshirts, fleece jackets, and cotton T-shirts for both adults and kids are also available. Various accessories are also available: hats, gloves, neck warmers, socks, and scarves.
