Velocio makes some of the finest cycling apparel in the industry, and the brand is constantly updating existing models or adding new pieces to its various lineups. For fall/winter 2026, the brand recently introduced several new garments designed to be adaptable and help take the guesswork out of dressing for fall riding.For road and gravel riders, the LUXE collection grows with new vests, jackets, and accessories, along with the new ONE Thermal Bib Tights. On the mountain bike side, the brand-new TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve and Air Pullover offer more options for riding in cool temperatures while chasing the best conditions of the year.Nobody wants to stand in their kitchen every morning trying to solve a weather puzzle, said Velocio design director and co-founder Brad Sheehan. We designed this collection to simplify that moment. These pieces work together to perform across changing conditions so that you can start pedalling without overthinking or overpacking.LUXE Air Vest and JacketLUXE Air VestLUXE Air JacketVelocio is adding to its popular LUXE line with the new Air Vest and Air Jacket. Both are designed to deliver exceptional warmth in a lightweight build that wears more like a jersey than a winter jacket. Of course, the jacket has full sleeves while the vest does not; otherwise, they feature the same materials and construction.With body-mapped active insulation and a protective shell up front, and jersey-weight fleece on the back, the LUXE Air Vest and Jacket aim to provide wind and weather protection with reliable, adaptable thermal regulation. Both have two-way zippers and come in mens and womens versions in Dark Slate and Dark Sulphur colorways.LUXE Air JacketLUXE Air VestJapanese-milled 55g, 100% recycled polyester front body fabricBody-mapped 80g active insulationFleece back (and underarms on jacket) to improve breathabilityPerformance-focused on-bike fit reduces flapping-Two-way front zipperColors: Dark Slate, Dark SulphurSizes: Men: XS XXXXL, Women: XXS XXXLLUXE Air Vest MSRP: $229LUXE Air Jacket MSRP: $269ONE Thermal Bib TightsVelocio calls the new ONE Thermal Bib Tight a versatile three-season workhorse with balanced compression for mid-distance rides and lightweight thermal insulation for everything from cool mornings to brisk winter days. According to the brand, it slots in between the standard LUXE Bib Tight and the LUXE Thermal Bib Tight in terms of warmth and protection from the elements. Its warmer than the former, but not as insulating, windproof, or compressive as the latter striking a balance for riders who only want ONE bib tight for all their cool-cold weather riding.The ONE Thermal Bib Tight is made from a recycled thermal fabric with a lightweight fleece lining and moderate compression for mid-distance rides. It features Velocios multi-density Signature Chamois, and the womens version includes the FreeFly design to facilitate bathroom breaks without the need to remove layers.Recycled thermal fabric and lightweight fleece liningModerate compression for mid-distance versatilityFull-length coverage for cool to cold weather ridingSignature chamois combines multi-density layers with refined edges and a perforated topDesigned in the on-bike position for pedaling without constrictionFlyFree design on Womens for easy bathroom breaksColor: BlackSizes: Men: XS XXXXL, Women: XXS XXXLMSRP: $199TRAIL Merino Long SleeveThe TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve pairs a grid-knit heavyweight merino blend with a breathable midweight mesh back.The new TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve was designed to be an all-day essential for mountain biking once the temperatures drop. It features a grid-knit heavyweight merino blend fabric on the front and arms with a midweight mesh back for breathability. The denser front and arm fabric stands up to brushes with trailside obstacles and blocks a little wind, while the grid texture inside is claimed to lift off your skin to trap warmth while creating channels that move air, wicking away sweat and excess heat.The TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve comes in mens and womens versions in three colors: Black, Rocky Ridge (beige), and Deep Forest. Weve got one in for testing and will follow up with a review in the near future.Materials: 75% polyamide, 25% virgin woolHeavyweight grid construction, front and armsMidweight mesh back for breathabilityBoxy fit looks casual without being so loose it snagsColors: Black, Rock Ridge, and Deep ForestSizes: Men: XS XXXXL, Women: XXS XXXLMSRP: $119Air PulloverThe Air Pullover pairs super-light, high-loft fleece on the body with merino grid sleeves.The all-new Air Pullover is designed to be worn on its own or as a cold-weather layering piece, whether youre on the bike or not. It features a featherlight 95g high-loft fleece covering the front, shoulders, and back, paired with merino grid sleeves. Velocio says the fleece body traps heat when youre taking it easy, and turbocharges breathability and wicking when youre on the move. Meanwhile, the merino-grid sleeves add durability and also aid with thermal regulation.Velocio says that its a great piece to wear on its own while riding, to the trailhead, or kicking it around the house. When temperatures are frigid, layer it under a shell and/or add a base layer to crank up the warmth. Like all of the other Velocio pieces listed here, the Air Pullover comes in mens and womens versions. Weve also got one of these in for testing and will follow up with a review once its cool enough to try it out.Hybrid constructionHigh-loft lightweight fleece main bodyMerino grid sleevesActive insulation stretches, breathes, and thermoregulatesEasily worn as a layer or standalone pieceRelaxed, boxy, pullover cutColors: Red Ochre, BlackSizes: Men: XS XXXXL, Women: XXS XXXLMSRP: $189AvailabilityAll of Velocios new and updated fall/winter 2026 cycling apparel is available now.

As Ashlin Barry powered up the finishing straight on Montral's Avenue du Parc, he was riding towards Team USA's first U23 men's road world title.Along the course, he had seen his friends, heard his family's cheering and even picked out the barking of his dog. What didn't quite register was that nobody was going to catch him."Disbelief. It's surreal," Barry said of crossing the line.The Toronto-raised American, who rides for the VismaLease a Bike Development squad, celebrated his 19th birthday with a resounding victory at the UCI Road World Championships, after spending much of the race out in front.The American had been part of a five-rider breakaway that formed early and spent more than 100 kilometres off the front. Then, with 30 kilometres remaining, Barry took off on his own."I didn't think I could follow the best guys on the climbs so I tried to find a way to get ahead," he explained.At times, his advantage dropped down to a precarious 20 seconds, but Barry held off the chasers over Montral's punishing climbs."I kept thinking I was going to get caught. I expected it but somehow it never happened," he said.With 200 metres remaining, his chasers were out of sight. Barry could finally sit up, stretch out his tall frame and enjoy the reception from fans pounding the barriers. "It was just unreal being out there," he commented. "It really felt like a home race out there."Hctor lvarez of Spain outsprinted the remnants of the breakaway for silver, banging his handlebars in frustration, while Norway's Jesper Stiansen took bronze.Today's gold medal is the young talent's second medal at the World Championships, following his silver medal in the Kigali time trial in 2025. Other accomplishments include several junior national titles, second-place finishes in the junior races at ParisRoubaix and E3 Harelbeke, and a second overall placing in the World Omnium Championships on the track in 2024. When he signed with VismaLease a Bike, the team called him "one of the biggest talents of his generation."But long before Barry chased a rainbow jersey in Montral, his parents had written their own chapters on the roads around Mount Royal.A family affair, three generations deep(Image credit: Getty Images)Barry is the third generation of his family to build a life around cycling with Montral playing a central role in each chapter.His mother, Dede Demet-Barry (USA), is a former junior road world champion and the Olympic time-trial silver medallist from Athens 2004. She raced and won the Montral World Cup on these roads in 2002 on a steel Mariposa bicycle built by her father-in-law, Mike Barry Sr.His father, Michael Barry, represented Canada at three Olympics and raced all three Grand Tours during a professional career that included stints with US Postal, Discovery Channel and Team Sky. He rode his final professional road race at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montral in 2012, with young Ashlin watching from the roadside."My first memory of cycling is watching my dad race these road," Ashlin Barry said. "I've dreamed of racing on this course, too."Fourteen years later, Barry got his chance, with his parents watching from the roadside. After crossing the line, he fell into their arms and thanked them for their support.

The men's junior road race at the 2026 World Championships has seen Benjamin Noval Jr. take a dominant victory, despite being outnumbered by his rivals. The race has seen another interesting incident featuring the Spanish team, as one of its sports directors drove the team car into taking off from t...
