MAAP brings together WorldTour-level performance and a distinctive design identity. Since the 2025 season, the Melbourne-based brand has equipped the WorldTour teams Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco, with updated team kits arriving for 2026. At BIKE24, you'll find the full lineup – from MAAP jerseys such as the aerodynamic Pro Aero with AARTERO Flyte™ fabric and the versatile Emerge to the official WorldTour Pro Air 3.0 kit. The range also includes bib shorts such as the Team Bib Evo and the long-distance-focused Pro Bib 2.0, along with vests, gloves, socks, and collaborations with KASK and QUOC.

MAAP was founded in Melbourne in 2014 by Jarrad Smith and Oliver Cousins, both of whom came from backgrounds in graphic design, fashion, and technical apparel development. Their goal was to create cycling apparel that gave equal weight to performance and design. That philosophy continues to define the brand today. Design and product development take place in Melbourne, while most manufacturing is carried out in Italy. Proprietary materials such as AARTERO Flyte™ are produced at an Italian facility certified to ISO 14001 environmental management standards. Many fabrics are also bluesign® approved or OEKO-TEX certified. Since 2025, MAAP has supplied Team Jayco AlUla, Liv AlUla Jayco, and development team Hagens Berman Jayco as their technical apparel partner.
What makes MAAP stand out?
The lineup is organized into clearly defined collections. Performance-focused options such as the Pro Aero family and the WorldTour Pro Air 3.0 jerseys sit at the top of the range. More versatile models follow, including the Emerge for summer rides and the Aeon and Training 3.0 collections for high-mileage weeks. The same approach applies to bib shorts, from the race-ready Team Bib Evo to the comfort-focused Pro Bib 2.0. The lineup also includes windproof essentials such as the Flow Vest, the Pro Aero Speedsuit for time trials, and race-day accessories. Premium collaborations with KASK and QUOC complete the range.
MAAP's distinctive look is backed by carefully engineered materials and construction details developed alongside Italian mills and manufacturers. Every piece is tested with athletes and WorldTour teams before it reaches production. The focus is on three key areas: aerodynamics through precision tailoring, long-distance comfort through premium chamois pads and breathable fabrics, and documented sustainability through independently certified material sources. The technologies below highlight the details behind that approach.
AARTERO Flyte™ is a proprietary fabric developed by MAAP. Jerseys featuring AARTERO Flyte™ are exceptionally lightweight, breathable, and durable. The fabric is produced in partnership with an Italian mill whose manufacturing facility is certified to ISO 14001 environmental management standards. That means sustainability is considered throughout the manufacturing process, not just in the finished product. AARTERO Flyte™ also incorporates a solvent-free elastomer that helps reduce the use of potentially harmful chemicals during production.
Models such as the Pro Aero, the matching Speedsuit, and the WorldTour 26 collection feature a close-fitting race cut designed for high-intensity riding. A second-skin feel, smooth fabric transitions, and strategically placed aero panels help reduce drag at high speeds. The ultralight fabrics are sourced from Italian mills renowned for producing high-performance textiles.
Rather than relying on printed or stitched aero elements, MAAP uses a precise jacquard weaving technique in its race jerseys. Italian mills weave 3D-ribbed channels directly into the sleeve structure to help smooth turbulent airflow and delay flow separation around the arms and shoulders. Because the aerodynamic properties are built into the fabric itself rather than applied to the surface, they remain effective even after repeated washing and wear.
Australia's intense UV exposure has made sun protection a fact of everyday life, and MAAP brings that same focus to its race jerseys. Models such as the Pro Aero feature UPF 50+ sun protection built directly into the fabric. During long summer rides, that means reliable protection for covered areas exposed to hours of direct sunlight. Specific UPF ratings can be found on the respective product pages.
The final climb of a summer race. Sweat is pouring, but the jersey stays dry, the fabric keeps breathing, the sun protection keeps working, and the chamois still feels comfortable after 120 kilometers. Those are the moments MAAP is built for. At BIKE24, you'll find race jerseys, bib shorts, vests, and accessories with fast availability, free returns, and next-day delivery on many items. Whether you're looking for the latest WorldTour 26 kit for the new season or a single piece to complete your setup, explore the lineup and find your next MAAP favorite.
MAAP uses a performance-oriented race fit. Race-focused collections such as Pro Aero are cut particularly close to the body, while more versatile options such as Emerge offer a slightly more relaxed fit. Size charts are available on each product page.
Wash MAAP apparel at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle and avoid using fabric softener. Turn bib shorts inside out to help protect the chamois, and do not tumble dry. Refer to the care label on each garment for specific instructions.
