Soudal Quick-Step have revealed their 2026 race kit, keeping the squad’s deep blue base but injecting vivid electric-lime panels in a design that puts rider visibility and the team’s history front and centre.
Unveiled on 16 December, the Castelli-made kit is a direct evolution of the team’s "Shine for Safety" campaign, which began during the Ardennes Classics with high-visibility test jerseys. The new look concentrates lime accents on the side panels and, crucially, across the rear of the jersey and shorts to help riders stand out in low light and busy traffic.
The safety message is echoed in the more prominent placement of Safety Jogger on the back of the shorts, sitting below the Soudal and Quick-Step logos without disturbing the title sponsors’ hierarchy. The team’s wolf head emblem remains on the upper back, now joined by a gold star that celebrates Soudal Quick-Step becoming the first team to reach 1,000 UCI victories earlier in 2025.
On the technical side, Castelli say the 2026 range is lighter and more aerodynamic than its predecessor, with winter jackets gaining breathability thanks to the brand’s PFAS-free AirCore membrane. Jackets and gilets will also be available in full electric lime, extending the visibility theme into cold-weather training.
"We all spend a huge amount of time training on open roads, so anything that helps us be more visible is a big positive," said Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step). "I will be very proud to wear this kit."
