NEW OAKLEY PERFORMANCE INNOVATION: ARO7 HELMET AND Q36.5 SECOND SKIN


THE LATEST SUNGLASSES AND APPAREL FOR CYCLING


The 2024 Oakley® Bike Collection offers gear for riders of any skill level and discipline. Focusing on performance, innovation, and safety, Oakley continues to equip riders to achieve their best, building on a legacy of cycling innovation.   


Take cycling to the next level and stay comfortable all ride long, with premium apparel, eyewear, helmets, and more for every terrain, including Road, Downhill, Trail, and Gravel.   


ROAD   


The new ARO7 helmet leads the collection, designed to give cyclists the competitive edge they need to excel. It features an integrated Prizm™ Lens and stealth design for low drag and maximum efficiency. The integrated Prizm™ lenses stay in place with a unique magnetic system, allowing quick attachment and minimal drag. The same magnetic system also allows the lenses to be stowed on top of the helmet, as you would a traditional pair of glasses. The helmet's no-tail shell shape accommodates varying body positions, making it suitable for any type of ride, whether racing, training, or leisurely.   


Oakley x Q36.5 Capsule Collection  


This revolutionary apparel collection redefines cycling gear with advanced technology, superior protection, and premium fabrics. The collection blends the sophistication of Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art 4D printing grdxkn®technology, resulting in a protective structure for added safety, made to withstand it all--from unexpected crashes to high-speed slide outs. The Oakley Q36.5 Pinstripe Pro Jersey enhances comfort and aerodynamic efficiency through thoughtfully placed panels and seams to eliminate uncomfortable bunching at the nape of the neck. The Q36.5 Bib Short is made entirely from 100% recycled materials and features a 3-D SM-Anatomic chamois, engineered with precision to provide unparalleled performance.  


DOWNHILL  


The Maven Collection  


Inspired by Oakley's race DNA and worn by Team Oakley Athlete Elias Schwaerzler, the Maven Collection helps downhill riders tackle the steepest mountain terrains. The collection includes a scrub long-sleeve jersey with all the function needed to go full tilt, scrub pants to take on the most aggressive lines in comfort and confidence, shoes, and accessories. The sleeves and pants are made with ultra-tough Cordura fabric, which provides serious protection against abrasion on the narrowest tracks. It's complete with Drop In D30 Knee Guards, crafted with D30® patented Ghost™️ Technology for high-impact shock absorption.  


TRAIL  


The Seeker Collection  


Made for riders seeking peak performance, the Seeker Collection transitions from technical trail rides to intense enduro excursions. Championed by professional MTB rider and Team Oakley athlete Diego Caverzasi, it features cutting-edge performance fabrics, including ventilated Oakley's Hydrolix material for self-cooling. The All Mountain D30 Knee and Elbow Guards use D30® patented Ghost™️ Technology for shock absorption and a barely-there feeling while pedalling. For advanced riders, Koya RC Boat Clipless MTB shoes are made with BOA technology.  


The collection also features styles tailored to women's silhouettes. With this complete range of men's and women's apparel and accessories, riders of all levels can explore their limits, keeping them fueled and ready to take on every trail.    


GRAVEL  


The Gravel Collection is made for utility and the ultimate riding adventure, meeting the high-performance standards of Team Oakley athlete Chas Christiansen. Complete with bib shorts, a jersey, a lightweight, packable jacket, eyewear, and accessories, the collection combines function and durability. It features multiple pockets—six on the jersey and four on the cargo bib shorts—ideal for carrying essentials during long rides. The apparel is crafted from abrasion-resistant materials and offers enduring comfort and performance, enhanced by a unique Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) treatment and moisture-wicking Merino wool for superior defence against the elements. The collection is complete with the ARO3 ALL ROAD, Oakley's gravel-specific helmet made for exploring endless dirt roads, equipped with 19 ventilation ports, intuitive eyewear storage, and a removable visor to protect against debris and sunlight.  


EYEWEAR  


The 2024 range includes four distinct styles designed to give all cyclists a clear view of the road ahead.      


Sphaera™, featured with the Seeker Collection, combines the best elements from Oakley's diverse sports lineup with the most extended field of view yet to meet athletes' rigorous needs.   


Made for trail and road, Encoder™ Strike featured with the Seeker Collection and Oakley x Q36.5 Capsule Collection. It blends function and heritage with a comfortable, durable, and airflow-optimised ventilated design.   


The Gravel Collection features Oakley® Plazma™ and Oakley® Trajectory, which offer style and function across various sports environments with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses.   


The 2024 Bike Collection is available now across select retailers worldwide and on Oakley.com.
