The Aeon collection combines advanced construction techniques and high-tech materials for ultimate comfort. Its understated and minimalist aesthetic, along with its comfort and ultra-light fit, allows cyclists to focus on the road, no matter the distance.

Aeon Jersey

Designed to give you freedom of movement and allow you to ride, the Aeon Jersey redefines comfort for long distances. It offers MAAP’s signature sleek, form-fitting silhouette, combined with less compressive fabrics and advanced cooling technology for all-day comfort, without sacrificing style or performance.

Polartec Delta fabric and its evaporative cooling technology keep you cool when the heat or pace intensifies. Its 3D knit structure lifts the fabric off the skin, promoting airflow and acting on the body’s natural cooling process. Thanks to the combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns, moisture is efficiently dispersed across the entire surface for optimal cooling, kilometer after kilometer.

Development wasn’t limited to fabric selection: every aspect of the jersey has been refined for enhanced comfort. A wide, seamless hem ensures a perfect, irritation-free fit, while the ultra-soft, low-profile, semi-bonded collar, similar to those on high-performance race suits, eliminates chafing during long, hot rides.

The Aeon Jersey is available in short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions in Asphalt, Chalk, and Prism colorways.

Aeon Bib Short

Everyday comfort has always been at the core of MAAP’s performance bib shorts, but to take it to the next level, every effort had to be made to progress.

It all started with the essential element of any bib short: the chamois. For the Aeon Bib Short, MAAP took its latest high-density 3D thermo-molded chamois, launched in the Alt_Road range, and brought it to the road for the first time.

Maintaining the same precision and thickness as other MAAP chamois, it incorporates high-density foam for superior shock absorption and lasting support. Its use here ensures that the Aeon Bib Short withstands long days on the bike, from sunrise to sunset and beyond, without any degradation in skin comfort.

As the hours accumulate, fabric feel and durability become essential. Aeon is crafted from textured yarns sourced from Spain, offering four-way stretch compression for a silky feel. This luxurious, abrasion-resistant fabric performs from day one: it remains impeccable, ride after ride. Combined with the minimalist leg panel design, it perfectly optimizes range of motion for optimal efficiency with every pedal stroke.

Every detail of the Aeon Bib Short is designed for comfort and longevity, from the unique flat seam on each leg that eliminates chafing to the integrated seamless gripper band, where silicone threads are woven directly into the fabric for a secure hold without excessive pressure. Rear cargo pockets complete the ensemble, offering generous storage space for unforgettable days in the saddle.

The Aeon Bib Short is available in black/white and black/black colorways.
