Q36.5 launches its new spring-summer 2026 collection

Q36.5, the Italian reference brand in high-performance technical cycling apparel, unveils its Spring-Summer 2026 collection, “Precision & Daring” (precision and boldness), designed for demanding cyclists looking for comfort, performance and innovative design. The new collection reflects the brand’s constant commitment to the search for exclusive materials and integrated technologies, aimed at maintaining the ideal body temperature of 36.5 °C. More than 70% of the fabrics are developed in-house, as is the range of Q36.5 chamois inserts, designed to guarantee ergonomics, comfort and performance over long distances. For the SS2026 collection, Q36.5 presents new colourways, revisited graphics and design solutions focused on speed and lasting comfort. Aerodynamics, thermoregulation and an optimised fit are built into every garment, with particular attention to the demands of high-intensity cycling. All the new products are available on the brand’s website, q36-5.com, and at a selection of specialist cycling retailers.

The collection

“Precision & Daring”: Q36.5 combines engineering precision and Italian design to develop technical garments designed for maximum performance.

The new collection offers redesigned pieces, built for optimal performance in all conditions, even in great heat, thanks to exclusive and innovative materials. The emblematic Dottore and Gregarius Pro jerseys come with new graphics, while the bib shorts feature a refined, contemporary colour palette. The Adventure range, dedicated to off-road cycling, and the new Dottore Clima complete the offering. All garments are tested in competition and in training by the athletes of Pinarello – Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. Product development relies on a continuous process of field testing, guided by athlete feedback and focused on comfort, durability and race performance. The collaboration with the professional team allows Q36.5 to validate and improve its garments in the most demanding cycling conditions, feeding the results directly into the collection’s design process.

Tom Pidcock, Pinarello – Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team: “I had never used bib shorts that could accompany me through a whole season. The Dottore Pro guarantees constant comfort, reduces saddle-related irritation and keeps its technical characteristics over time, even with frequent use. It is a reliable garment, both for training and for competition.”

His teammate David De La Cruz: “I use the Gregarius Pro bib shorts for my training: I consider them reliable and versatile, like a pair of wheels you can’t do without. The Dottore, on the other hand, I associate with racing: a product designed to take performance a step further.”

Dottore Pro bib shorts

The Dottore Pro bib shorts embody the pinnacle of Q36.5’s research and development in cycling shorts, thanks to the innovative use of a woven fabric. The men’s version, with its slightly compressive cut and minimalist design without front seams, optimises every detail for maximum functionality. The integrated lumbar panel and four-zone construction ensure optimal muscle support, perfect stability of the chamois insert and effective thermoregulation on long rides. The double-layer QLab Air chamois insert, an exclusive technology, guarantees maximum comfort and optimal moisture management. The integration of silver thread provides antibacterial properties, reduces muscle fatigue and improves conductivity. This woven fabric, developed in-house, makes the Dottore Pro the lightest, fastest-drying, most durable and highest-performing bib short on the market. It ensures optimal alignment of the muscle fibres to reduce fatigue, even during intense efforts. The women’s version keeps the same technical characteristics, with a cut and fit adapted to the female body, guaranteeing comfort, stability and optimal support in competition and in training.
