What to know about MAAP Cycling
Race kit, not casual cycling
The line centres on race-fit bibshorts built on the pattern developed at launch in 2014, and the brand supplies WorldTour-level racing teams.
Muted colour over loud sponsor graphics
Jerseys, thermal kit and packable outerwear come in restrained, graphic-led colourways rather than the busy print language common to cycling apparel.
Garage start, now global
Founded by Jarrad Smith and Oliver Cousins in a Melbourne garage, it now sells mainly into the US, UK, Germany and South East Asia and runs MAAP LaB stores, including one in Berlin's Mitte.
