Rule 28

Rule 28, wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamic cycling apparel

Rule 28 is a British brand specialising in aerodynamics-focused cycling apparel. Its catalogue is organised into men's and women's collections, with specific lines such as AW26 OTNR (Outside The Normal Range) and SS26, as well as an Aero collection. The company's approach is based on garments tested in a wind tunnel and measured watt savings as a technical argument.

Garments and accessories in the catalogue

The range covers garments and accessories designed for different disciplines and conditions. Featured products include skinsuits, aero jerseys, bib shorts and tights, socks and overshoes, gloves and accessories. The catalogue includes specific items such as the Neo Time Trial Suit, the One Road Race Suit, the Gravel Suit, the One Triathlon Suit and the Neo Triathlon Suit, as well as outerwear such as the OTNR Lightweight Jacket, the Insulated Gilet and the OTNR Lightweight Longsleeve Aero Jersey.

Discipline-specific lines

The company structures part of its range by discipline: time trial, road, gravel and triathlon. This segmentation is reflected in garments such as time trial and triathlon skinsuits, aero road tights and the gravel-specific suit. It also sells aero base layers, such as the one called Aero Base Layer ('Aero Bra'), and accessories such as the Neo Aero Overshoes, the Neo Aero Socks, the TT Aero Gloves, the Aero Mitts and the One Aero Calf Guards.

The catalogue shows prices in pounds sterling for each item. Visible examples include the Neo Time Trial Suit at £600, the Neo Road Race Suit at £550, the One Time Trial Suit at £400, the One Road Race Suit at £350, the Gravel Suit at £290 and the OTNR Lightweight Jacket at £175.
