New Tri Suits We Built for 2026 Race Season

A New Season of Custom Builds

Every race season brings a fresh set of demands from the teams we outfit. For 2026, the requests we heard most often came from three directions. European clubs asked for lighter aero suits that hold a tight line on the bike. North American brands wanted full-body gradient prints that read clearly from the start line. Event organizers needed small-batch runs delivered on a tight calendar. None of these were drawn from a catalog. Each build started from real rider feedback and a specific race in mind. If you are weighing your own kit decision this year, our tri suit buying guide walks through the choices that matter most.

Short-Sleeve Aero for the Bike Leg

For clubs that push the bike leg hard, we built a short-sleeve aero suit around a close, drag-reducing cut. Two rear pockets sit flat against the lower back so gels stay put when riders stand out of the saddle. The fabric breathes through tempo efforts and dries fast after the swim, which keeps the run from starting soaked. We finished it with a sublimated club crest across the chest and a colorway matched to the team's existing kit. This short-sleeve aero tri suit suits Olympic-distance starts where every second on the bike counts, and it links straight to our custom endurance tri suits for teams ready to order.

Sleeveless Gradient for Start-Line Presence

Teams that want to be spotted from the gun get a sleeveless gradient build with full-body sublimation. The print runs uninterrupted from shoulder to hem, so the design reads as one piece rather than a patched-on logo. A thin tri-specific chamois keeps the suit light through swim, bike, and run without the bulk of a road pad. We cut it for warm-condition sprints where shoulder freedom matters more than sleeve coverage. Clubs can send their own artwork and we map it across the entire garment, which is why this sleeveless tri suit has become a favorite for brand-led squads.

Private Label for Emerging Brands

A North American brand came to us needing the suit sold under its own name rather than ours. We ran the same production line as our house builds, with unchanged fabric, fit, and chamois, then applied the client's label and hangtags instead of ours. The result is a private label tri suit that carries their identity while the factory, quality control, and lead time stay exactly the same. For resellers and young brands, this route means they can launch a finished product line without owning a factory. The same design that works for a club works for a label, and our buying guide explains how private label fits into a first order.

Extended Storage for Long-Distance Races

Half and full-distance athletes kept asking for more room to carry nutrition, so we extended the rear pockets and reinforced the seams. The knit sheds most water within the first kilometers on the bike, and UPF-rated panels protect arms and shoulders during a long midday leg. A lighter chamois drains quickly so nothing stays heavy into the run. This build targets athletes who spend hours on course and cannot afford a dropped gel at mile forty. It pairs well with our custom tri suit category for teams that want to spec fabric and padding before they commit.

What We Build For You

Beyond these specific builds, the same workshop handles every step of custom tri suit production. Full sublimation bonds the ink into the fabric, so prints will not crack, peel, or add weight the way a sewn-on logo does. Private label runs share the line with house products, which keeps quality consistent. We take small minimum orders and send a sample before bulk production so you can check fit and print on a real garment. Lead times run in weeks measured against your season, not a single race. That combination of flexibility and control is what lets a club or brand move from idea to finished kit without surprises.
