Cyql and Kalas Partner Up: Bringing Custom Cycling Apparel to Every Club
We’re excited to announce our partnership with Kalas, the renowned cycling apparel brand trusted by professional teams like Alpecin-Deceuninck and official supplier to the KNWU (Royal Dutch Cycling Union). This collaboration brings custom cycling apparel directly to Cyql’s growing community of cycling clubs.
A shared vision and passion for cycling
Both Cyql and Kalas share a fundamental belief: every cycling club, regardless of size, deserves access to professional-quality gear that reflects their unique identity. While Cyql has been revolutionizing how clubs organize and manage their rides, Kalas has been crafting the clothing that makes cyclists look and feel their best on the road.
The partnership combines Cyql’s cyclist userbase with Kalas’s expertise in creating custom cycling apparel that meets the highest professional standards. Together, we’re making a premium custom kit accessible to clubs of all sizes – starting from just 5 items.
How Kalas stacks up against other cycling apparel brands
When cyclists think of premium apparel, names like Rapha, Castelli, and Assos often come to mind. Each brand has carved out its own niche:
- Rapha – Known for stylish design and lifestyle appeal, often blending performance with a strong community and brand culture.
- Castelli – Famous for innovation and aerodynamics, trusted by WorldTour teams for high-performance racing gear.
- Assos – Swiss precision with a reputation for comfort and technical excellence, often positioned at the very top of the market.
However, Kalas offers something unique: a combination of WorldTour-proven quality (worn by Alpecin-Deceuninck and national federations) with unmatched accessibility for cycling clubs. Unlike the others, Kalas specializes in custom team apparel, making it possible for even the smallest clubs to access the same professional standard of kit as world champions. No large minimum order quantities are required. This balance of performance, customization, and accessibility is what makes Kalas stand out. We at Cyql are so excited to bring this opportunity directly to our community.
What the Cyql and Kalas partnership means for cycling clubs
Through this partnership, Cyql clubs now have exclusive access to Kalas’s full custom apparel service. It’s available to sm small group of friends, who ride together weekly, but also for a large established club with hundreds of members. You can:
- Design completely custom kit with your club logos, colors, and sponsors
- Order from just 5 items – mix and match jerseys, bibs, jackets, and accessories
- Access the same quality worn by professionals like Mathieu van der Poel
- Get personal support throughout the entire process, from design concept to delivery
- Use a dedicated team webshop for easy ordering and individual delivery
Seamless integration with your club experience
Just as Cyql simplifies ride organization and club management, the Kalas partnership streamlines the custom apparel process. No more juggling multiple suppliers, complicated minimum orders, or lengthy design processes. Everything is handled from within Cyql without the hassle of going back and forth with the supplier.
Growing the cycling community together
This partnership represents more than just access to custom apparel – it’s about strengthening the cycling community. When clubs have professional-quality kit that represents their identity, it builds pride, unity, and visibility. It helps clubs attract new members, maintain sponsor relationships, and create a lasting impression on the road.
Wouter Slotegraaf, co-founder of Cyql, shared his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to partner with Kalas, a brand that shares our commitment to quality and community. This collaboration gives our clubs access to the same professional-grade apparel worn by world champions, helping them look as good as they ride.”
