“With the 2026 collection,” explains Marcello Fusi, Brand Manager of the Cycling Division of the Northern Italy-based group, “we wanted to give the brand’s development a decisive boost. In line with market demands and current trends, we set ourselves an ambitious goal: to offer a fit that is accessible to everyone yet truly performance-oriented. Because the cyclist wearing TAAC must feel that the garment has been made to measure for them — not the other way around.”
Raw materials, fit and style: these are the three areas on which the MANDELLI Lab — the R&D team inheriting over twenty years of experience in the two-wheel world from TUCANO URBANO, acquired in 2021 by the Carate Brianza-based company — has focused its efforts.
“We have introduced,” continues the Brand Manager, “more technical fabrics to support cyclists looking for compression and aerodynamics, while at the same time redesigning the cuts to ensure comfort for passionate beginners who are less accustomed to tight performance fits.”
In terms of style, TAAC has chosen the path of essential design. The new collection stands out for its clean, refined aesthetic — never ordinary — and for a colour palette inspired by natural tones: from earthy shades to sky hues, with a few racing-inspired accents.
Because yes, balancing minimalism and sporty attitude, TAAC also has a racing soul expressed through patterns inspired by the world of competition and textures recalling speed and asphalt.
SPRINTA (€69.90) is the new technical jersey dedicating two of its four colourways to the race world: floral Blue and Red featuring transparent TAAC lettering, alongside the classic shaded White and Black. Fully made in Italy, slim fit, lightweight and highly breathable, this men’s jersey features raw-cut anti-roll sleeves and a stress-free construction thanks to stretch technical yarn and ergonomic cut with minimal seams. It includes a silicone elastic hem, zip garage flap and three rear pockets for everything you need on the go.
These features are also found in PODIO (€79.90), a unisex technical jersey that stands at the top of TAAC’s Road and Gravel made-in-Italy apparel range, thanks to its performance fit, ultra-thin bi-elastic micro-nylon techno-fabric, close-fitting and highly breathable structure, quick-drying properties and UPF 20 sun protection. Available in White, Red and Blue.
On both asphalt and gravel, TAAC welcomes the coming spring with VOLATA (€79.90), the new men’s technical bib shorts, knee-length with raw-cut leg ending and silicone grip. Available in Black and Grey, they are made from high-tenacity, breathable 4-Way Stretch quick-drying fabric, with ergonomic cut, minimal seams and — above all — seamless elastic mesh braces. The anatomical high-density breathable foam pad allows rides of up to 7 hours. And that’s when, in TAAC, you feel the urge to put in extra hours in the saddle.
THAT’S ALL ABOUT CYCLING.
