On December 12, 2025, Pissei and UAE Team Emirates XRG unveil the kit for the 2026 season, the fourth chapter of a partnership that began with an experiment and has become the standard in the WorldTour peloton.
The design
"Fragments of Precision" is the name of the design concept. Geometric shapes in red, black and the colors of the Emirates break up the white base — controlled, but visibly more independent than in previous years. The evolution is clear: from the pure white of the Triple Crown season to a design that is easier to read on the road and on television.
The kit is based on the Magistrale collection from the Custom Lab. Short and long-sleeved jerseys, jackets, vests, skinsuits, bib shorts, technical shorts and accessories — the full range, made entirely in Italy.
National champions
With the unveiling, Pissei also shows the champion jerseys: Isaac del Toro in the Mexican and Ivo Oliveira in the Portuguese national design. Both put the national flag on the white jersey background — simple and effective.
From XRG to 2026
The name change to UAE Team Emirates XRG reflects the expansion of the sponsor. For Pissei, nothing changes in principle: a new design every season, each rider individually measured, every part handmade in Pistoia. The infrastructure that worked for Pogačar's Triple Crown will continue to be used.
Assessment
Four years with the most dominant team in professional cycling is extraordinary for a supplier the size of Pissei. The partnership has evolved from an unexpected deal to a solid relationship that has made Pissei the most visible apparel brand in the peloton.
