This year, for the very first time, the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will take its place on cycling's biggest stage. 

To celebrate this historic milestone, the Team will race the 2026 Tour de France wearing an exclusive Limited Edition collection, featuring a dedicated Q36.5 race kit, a one-off Pinarello DOGMA F colourway and a matching ABUS helmet, all created exclusively for the team's Tour de France debut. 

Driven by the desire to highlight the inherent technology and design of its performance partners and title sponsors, the project combines cutting-edge technology with a refined visual identity built around Luxter Venice, Tarmac Grey and Champion Gold, creating one of the most distinctive and hi-tech looks in this year's peloton. 

At the heart of the collection is the new Q36.5 Limited Edition race apparel, showcasing the Italian brand's latest advances in thermoregulation, aerodynamics and body-mapped construction. The jersey combines three different fabrics, including ultralight mesh panels engineered to maximise cooling during the hottest race days, while the Dottore Pro bib shorts integrate Q36.5's proprietary woven technology, advanced four-zone body mapping and the Q LAB Air chamois to deliver outstanding comfort, stability and muscle support throughout the three weeks of racing. For road stages all riders receive two new evolutions of the Bolzano brand’s Dottore Pro skinsuit, using innovations such as next-generation Graphene yarn fabrics to offer the world’s highest performing balance of thermoregulationa and aerodynamics. 

Matching the riders' apparel is an exclusive Pinarello DOGMA F, featuring a dedicated Tour de France livery finished in Titan and Luxter Venice with elegant Champion Gold detailing. Beneath the unique appearance remains the same uncompromising race-winning platform, equipped with the SRAM RED AXS groupset, Zipp wheels, Vittoria tyres and Prologo saddle that has accompanied the team throughout the season. 

Completing the Limited Edition collection is a dedicated ABUS helmet, finished in the same exclusive colour palette to create a fully integrated visual identity across rider, bike and equipment. Developed for elite competition, the helmet combines advanced aerodynamic performance with ABUS' Forced Air Cooling ventilation concept, delivering maximum efficiency and comfort during cycling's most demanding race. 

"This is much more than a “special” kit," said Douglas Ryder, Team Principal of the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. 

"When we started this project only a few years ago, the Tour de France was an ambitious vision shared by a small group of people who believed things could be done differently. Today that vision becomes reality. Every partner, every staff member and every rider has contributed to this journey. Standing on the start line of the Tour wearing this Limited Edition isn't the destination — it's another step in building the future of this team. We arrive with humility, ambition and the determination to honour this race in the only way we know: by racing sharp, together." 

Fausto Pinarello, President of Pinarello, said: 

"The new colours have been carefully tuned to provide the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team with a fresh summer look, ensuring a more distinctive visual identity in the world's biggest bike race. The Tour de France is the ultimate stage for cycling innovation, and the DOGMA F is born for these historic moments. This striking livery perfectly marries our deep racing heritage with a bold, modern aesthetic, and we are proud to provide the team with a machine that looks as fast as it performs." 

For Luigi Bergamo, Founder of Q36.5 and Head of R&D, the Tour de France debut represents the fulfilment of an extraordinary journey. 

"From our humble beginnings in 2023, when we founded the team together with our partners with the dream of creating a professional factory team, to preparing for our first Tour de France less than four years later, is something truly extraordinary. This kit represents not only the highest level of performance we can offer our athletes, but also a visual tribute to one of the most important milestones in the history of our project." 

The Limited Edition collection perfectly reflects the identity that has defined the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team since day one: innovation driven by performance, attention to every detail and the constant pursuit of improvement. 

Because the Tour de France has always been far more than a race. 

It is the place where cycling dreams are allowed to exist. 

Now, for the first time, it is time for the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team to chase its own.
