So lightweight you can almost see through it, Velocio’s Origami jersey is ideal for the hottest of rides.

For those who have ridden a cyclocross bike, the Jamis Renegade Elite will feel familiar, which is both good and bad.

Dripping with Italian style and panache, Bianchi’s Intenso Dama is drool-worthy. It was the surprise of the 2016 Buyer’s Guide testing.

The CX Zero Evo has hints of endurance geometry for long days in the saddle, but a build and design touches that are 100 percent race-worthy.

The Venge may look like an awkward bird attempting its first flight, but there is a beauty (and tons of speed) in its details.

Foundry’s Chilkoot is a workhorse. It’s not lightweight, and it doesn’t have aero-integration. But that is what we love about it.

Trek made good on its promise to deliver an aerodynamic beast that solves the comfort puzzle.

Garneau’s super lightweight jersey is serious about fit, tight without feeling restrictive and with longer, laser-finished sleeves.

The super-breathable Ascent Air 2.0 has a slim fit that forms nicely around the body without feeling restrictive.

Yep, it’s tight, and it hugs the body with a near-elastic fit, but this Assos jersey (we’re not typing that name twice) is shockingly comfortable.

The Edge embraces a racer cut but combines it with looser shoulder panels for improved freedom of movement.

Though Diamondback is now a few years into its road-bike efforts, the Century surprised several testers who still know DB as a BMX and MTB brand.

The P.R.O. Pursuit jersey is all about the technical materials from the dimpled aero fabric to the laser-cut ventilation panels.

The RP9 is a second-tier shoe that is better than most companies' premier offerings. Those with high-volume feet should give it a look.

Testers raved about fit of the Course shoes, specifically the heel cup and interchangeable Icefit insoles, which lent a solid, secure feel.

Northwave's Extreme shoes use a robust SLW2 closure system — two dials and a Velcro strap — to provide an even, hot-spot free fit.

The Empire is as good as ever, now in a super visible, and surprisingly durable, package.

Garneau's bibs offer a medium-thickness, women’s specific chamois that is extremely comfortable without feeling bulky.

These new women’s bibs are the best we’ve seen from Pactimo with plush Italian-manufactured materials and Coldblack technology.

Panache uses a shorter inseam on its women’s bibs for a distinctly feminine look and feel.

Rapha’s Souplesse bibs are our go-to choice for long days in the saddle on the bumpy dirt roads outside of town.

Assos’s women’s bibs are packed with plush details and perfectly placed leg hems that create the cleanest looking bibs that we’ve seen.

These are hands-down our favorite bibs for everyday riding, racing, coffee rides, and everything in-between.

This jersey is a new favorite of everyone at VeloNews who’s had the chance to test it.

For recreational riders and women new to racing, the Liz Carbon is an excellent choice that gets you out on the road without breaking the bank.

This Assos jersey’s integrated mesh liner eliminates the need for a separate base layer.

Incredibly forgiving four-way stretch fabric lets this racer-cut jersey stay aero without limiting mobility.

POC’s new Fondo line is built around looser fits and lower prices than the company’s more race-oriented apparel.

Rapha's Superlight jersey is not the tightest cut around, but the airy fit seems to help with cooling and drying.

This jersey is clearly made for people who ride a lot — especially those who ride so much they have Chris Froome-like arms.

Cervélo’s all-new C5 quickly won us over with its seamless blend of performance and comfort. It is light, agile, and fun to ride.

The new Madone is cycling’s Bugatti Veyron — an exotic beast that looks like it’s moving fast even when it’s standing still.

Disc brakes on an endurance bike should be a no-brainer. Yet the Ruby Pro is one of only a few women’s-specific rides to offer them.

"It's no coincidence that the record holders for the Tour of Flanders have only won it three times," says Flanders hopeful Peter Sagan.

Giro's Factress ACC are some of the best all-around women’s shoes we’ve tested — great for anything from long rides to sprinter-friendly crits.

Garneau’s LS-100s perform exceptionally well when it comes to keeping your feet cool and comfortable for hard efforts and long rides.

Fizik’s R3B Donna shoes are built with power transfer in mind with a stiff, unidirectional carbon outsole and secure Boa and Velcro closure system.

Bontrager's Anaras have a spacious toe box and ample ventilation for a cool and comfortable feel.

At $150, the RP5s are a bargain. Not only are they a comfortable, resilient set of shoes, but they take the cake in versatility and value.
