Sunshine, warmth, and longer days – summer is the perfect season for cycling. To make your ride as comfortable, safe, and stylish as possible, we’ve put together a few gear tips from our range that are truly worth it during the hot months.

1. Summer Jerseys and Shorts

When temperatures rise above 25 °C, you'll appreciate lightweight and quick-drying materials. Choose from our new models of summer jerseys and shorts:

Jersey FORCE LIMIT
The Force Limit summer jersey stands out with its bold design that’s not only stylish but also highly visible. Made from lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable material, it keeps your body at an optimal temperature even during intense rides and hot summer days. The short sleeves and ergonomic cut ensure comfort without restricting movement, while the three rear pockets provide convenient storage for your essentials. In short, it’s the perfect choice for summer rides when you want to look great and enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Shorts FORCE BRAVE 2 LADY
The Force Brave 2 Lady women’s cycling shorts with a waistband are the perfect choice for performance-oriented riders who value comfort without compromise. The specially developed two-layer FORCE insert offers reliable support for medium-length rides, while the wide anti-slip leg grippers and high waistband ensure a secure and comfortable fit in any riding position. Reflective elements enhance safety, and practical side pockets on the thighs keep small essentials within easy reach. Also available in a version without pockets.

Jersey FORCE MOVE s krátkým rukávem
The FORCE MOVE cycling jersey from our top-tier line combines comfort and performance in one sleek design. Made from soft, stretchy material, it fits perfectly to the body and ensures maximum comfort even on long rides. Premium features include extended raw-cut sleeves, a high-quality YKK zipper, and a precise ergonomic fit. The jersey also offers three rear pockets and a water-resistant zip pocket for safely storing valuables. Ideal for temperatures above 20 °C, it performs best without a backpack to avoid material wear.

Shorts FORCE PACE
The FORCE PACE men’s cycling shorts with a waistband are designed for active riders who demand comfort, functionality, and reliability even on longer rides. They feature a dual-layer FORCE chamois that provides excellent support and saddle comfort. Mesh panels in the front ensure optimal ventilation, while flat seams reduce friction. Reflective elements enhance visibility and safety, and the wide anti-slip leg grippers keep the shorts securely in place, even during intense efforts.

2. Gloves and Socks

Short-finger FORCE gloves help absorb vibrations and protect your palms, while lightweight summer socks keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the ride.

Gloves FORCE FUN
The FORCE FUN summer unisex cycling gloves combine comfort, functionality, and practical details for every ride. Padding on the palm and the Noban anti-slip material (with dots) ensure a secure grip and vibration dampening. The terry cloth area on the thumb is perfect for wiping sweat or nose during the ride. The gloves are easy to take off thanks to practical pull tabs and stay in place with a Velcro fastener. They are lightweight, breathable, and ideal for warm summer days.

Socks FORCE ENDLESS
The FORCE ENDLESS cycling socks offer comfort, breathability, and versatile use not only for cycling but also for other sports activities. They are made from a lightweight and highly breathable material (85% nylon, 15% elastane), which effectively wicks away sweat and ensures comfort even during extended effort. Thanks to their higher cut (approximately 21 cm height when worn), they stay securely on the foot and perfectly complement any sports outfit. Available in three colors and two sizes.

3. Sunglasses

You can’t go without proper cycling glasses in the summer. Models like EPIC, GLARE, or ELECTRA offer UV protection, hydrophobic coating, and comfortable wear – plus they look great.

😎 Sunglasses FORCE EPIC
Here’s the English translation: The FORCE EPIC cycling glasses with photochromatic lenses deliver a top combination of protection, comfort, and technology. The TR90 Grilamid frame is lightweight, flexible, and impact-resistant. The blue photochromatic lens with a category 0–3 filter automatically adjusts to UV intensity—darkening in sunlight and lightening in the shade. The lenses feature ANTI-FOG and ANTI-SCRATCH coatings to prevent fogging and scratches, while the FOTOCHROM+ technology repels water, grease, and dirt. Three-level adjustable temples, a microfiber pouch, and a low weight (only 29 g) make them an ideal choice for daily training and competitive use.

Sunglasses FORCE GLARE
The FORCE GLARE cycling glasses with photochromatic lenses offer top optical protection and maximum adaptability to light conditions. The polycarbonate lenses with UV 400 protection and category 0–3 filter automatically darken or lighten according to UV intensity (transmittance 9–86%). FOTOCHROM+ technology provides an oleophobic coating that repels water, dirt, and grease, while also protecting the lenses from scratches. They also feature ANTI-FOG and ANTI-SCRATCH treatments, an adjustable nose pad for a comfortable fit, and practical packaging—a hard case, microfiber pouch, and cleaning cloth. Weighing only 30 g, these glasses are the ideal companion for daily rides and competitive use.

Sunglasses FORCE ELECTRA
The FORCE rimless cycling glasses combine functionality, protection, and modern design in a lightweight, durable construction. The TR90 Grilamid frame ensures high strength and flexibility, while the red REVO polycarbonate lens with UV 400 protection shields your eyes from harmful radiation and strong sunlight (category 3 filter, 15% light transmission). Thanks to H2FOBIC, ANTI-FOG, and ANTI-SCRATCH technologies, the lenses repel water, resist fogging, and withstand scratches even during demanding use. The adjustable nose pad allows for a personalized fit, and with a weight of only 32 g, the glasses sit perfectly even on longer rides. Included is a microfiber pouch, which can be used to easily and gently clean the lenses.

4. Helmet

Summer cycling often means longer distances and higher speeds. A lightweight and well-ventilated helmet, such as the ALVARO or NAOS, provides not only protection but also a comfortable climate during your ride.

Helmet FORCE ALVARO
The FORCE ALVARO helmet is an excellent choice for cyclists who want comfort, safety, and a modern look all in one. Thanks to the advanced 4TEX retention system, it fits perfectly without uncomfortable pressure. Inmold technology, 17 ventilation holes, size adjustment via a dial, and reflective elements ensure comfort and safety even during longer rides in warm weather. The helmet is available in three sizes, has a low weight (255–265 g), and meets the European CE standard.

Helmet FORCE LYNX
The FORCE LYNX helmet combines aerodynamic design with excellent ventilation thanks to 19 large vents that keep your head cool and dry even during demanding rides.

CE certification is, of course, included.

5. Hydration

In summer, it’s twice as important: drink before you feel thirsty. With a FORCE bottle or hydration pack, that’s no problem.

Cycling bottle FORCE DIRTY ROAD
Discover the new FORCE DIRTY ROAD cycling bottle (550 ml) with a modern and colorful design. The retractable and removable nozzle makes cleaning easy, even in a dishwasher up to 40°C.

The backpack also features an internal compartment for a phone and keys, reflective elements for increased safety, and a ventilated back system for maximum comfort even in hot weather.

6. Summer skincare – protection for the sitting area

Long rides without chafing? Try the special FORCE buttocks cream, ideal for everyday use as well.

Cream FORCE CHEEKY RIDE
The specially developed FORCE CHEEKY RIDE buttocks cream is designed for anyone who wants to protect their skin from chafing and irritation during sports, long periods of sitting, or other stress.
