INGRAVID 2.6: The leap forward redefining summer cycling apparel for 2026

The new INGRAVID 2.6 summer cycling collection pushes the limits of heat with maximum lightness and comfort for cyclists.

Innovation and lightness “Designed in Barcelona”: the new standard for demanding cyclists.

The INGRAVID 2.6 summer 2026 collection by INVERSE is born with a clear goal: to make both male and female cyclists feel their jerseys, bib shorts, and socks as almost weightless, even on the hottest days.

Designed in Barcelona, inspired by the Mediterranean

From its headquarters in Mollet del Vallès, just outside Barcelona, Mediterranean light and climate not only inspire the brand—they challenge it. At Inverse, this influence has been channelled into the creation of INGRAVID 2.6, a collection that goes beyond simple sportswear for cyclists to become a high-performance tool. INVERSE reclaims the concept “Designed in Barcelona and in the Mediterranean” not merely as an aesthetic label, but as a way of understanding cycling.

Designed and manufactured under a philosophy of proximity and European quality, this line responds to the critical need of modern cyclists: efficient management of extreme heat and humidity. This privileged location directly influences the design and technology of the INGRAVID 2.6 collection, conceived to withstand hot summers, endless climbs, and temperature shifts between coastline and inland areas.

Mediterranean light is translated into colours reminiscent of beach sand, mountain forests, warm rocks, and the depth of the sea.
The Barcelona surroundings—with road rides towards Maresme, Montseny, or Vallès, and gravel and MTB routes through tracks and trails—shape the thermal and breathability requirements of these garments.

INGRAVID 2.6 philosophy: maximum performance with a feeling of lightness

Lightness is the central pillar of this collection. INVERSE has reduced garment weight to its minimum expression without compromising durability.

XPERT HAITI jersey (110 g): The highest-performance model uses three technical fabrics that act as a “second skin.” It is designed for temperature ranges up to 38°C, featuring a minimalist and aerodynamic Super Slim Fit cut.
Sweat management: Garments such as the ESSENZ MALI jersey incorporate fabrics with high moisture-wicking capacity to keep the skin dry even on the toughest climbs.
Safety and functionality: All jerseys integrate the ISP system (Inverse Safe Pocket), rear pockets designed to prevent objects from falling out or moving during activity.

Key features of the INGRAVID 2.6 philosophy:

Extreme lightness: minimal weights, compact and elastic fabrics, laser-cut or heat-sealed finishes.
Advanced ergonomic fit: SLIM FIT, SUPER SLIM FIT, and RELAXED FIT patterns depending on use, adapting to the cyclist’s real riding position.
Breathability and rapid sweat evacuation: perforated panels, mesh structures, and high-evaporation fabrics to keep the skin as dry as possible between 20°C and 38°C.
Safety and functionality: strategic reflective details, secure pockets, and cyclist-specific solutions such as the FLEXYGO 2.0 system in women’s bib shorts.

INVERSE’s commitment to women: a benchmark in women’s cycling

At Inverse, the brand believes the cycling market has often ignored the specific biomechanical and functional needs of female cyclists. INGRAVID 2.6 breaks this barrier with a design approach prioritising women.

Inverse has made a special effort to ensure INGRAVID 2.6 is not simply “a women’s sizing collection,” but a range of cycling apparel developed from the ground up for women’s specific needs. The women’s cycling apparel market has not always provided adequate solutions in pattern design, chamois, comfort, or functionality, and the brand aims to become a reference for this segment.

Flexygo 2.0 system: This exclusive innovation allows bib shorts to be easily pulled down or adjusted without removing the jersey, solving a long-standing comfort issue during technical stops.
Anatomical patterning: Models such as the MOTION INDIA jersey are developed with a Slim Fit pattern that not only improves aerodynamics but also enhances and adapts perfectly to the female form.
High-performance bib shorts: The MOTION ATENAS women’s bib shorts are designed for rides of more than 7 hours, using compressive fabric that enhances venous return, reduces muscle fatigue, and features fewer seams than traditional bib shorts.

Bib shorts and accessories: total performance in every watt

The collection’s technology extends to the cyclist’s most critical contact points.

PURE Bib Shorts (Men): A premium piece with muscular compression and a triple-density chamois (13 mm), designed for high performance and long-distance competition.
Aerodynamics at the feet: The XPERT AERO PRO-RIDER socks feature a 22 cm cuff with aerodynamic structure and internal silicone grip for perfect hold, optimising every pedal stroke against the clock.
Ultra-light protection: The ESSENZ ECLIPSE vest, weighing only 90 g, is a high-visibility windproof and waterproof garment, so packable it disappears into a jersey pocket.

A collection designed for cyclists in any warm climate

Although designed in Barcelona, the INGRAVID 2.6 collection is created for any cyclist riding in hot, dry, or humid climates—whether in the Mediterranean coast, central Spain, southern France, Italy, or Central America. The recommended temperature ranges for many garments sit between 19°C and 38°C, ideal for European summers and intense rides.

Jerseys such as XPERT HAITI or MOTION KENIA are optimised for high temperatures, combining lightness, aerodynamics, and breathability.
Bib shorts such as ESSENZ MALTA, MOTION SINTRA, OUTTER DRAK, or PURE cover everything from daily training to long competitions of more than 7 hours.
MOTION FIYI and XPERT AERO PRO-RIDER socks complete the set, with 20–22 cm cuffs and structures designed for rapid sweat evacuation.

A summer cycling collection that speaks the language of the Mediterranean

INGRAVID 2.6 is not just a summer cycling apparel collection; it is INVERSE’s way of translating the light of Barcelona, the Mediterranean wind, and the real needs of male and female cyclists into high-performance jerseys, bib shorts, and socks. From the mountain passes near Barcelona to any hot road in the world, this collection is ready for you to ride lighter, more comfortably, and with more style.
