MAAP Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets MAAP apart from other cycling apparel brands?

  MAAP blends contemporary, minimalist design with performance-first construction, aiming to make cycling clothes for people who don’t normally like cycling clothes. Founded in Australia in 2014, the brand pairs visually-soothing hues and tasteful graphics with pro-oriented details like chamois-equipped bibs, multi-pocket jerseys, and a clear focus on high-stretch, durable fabrics. MAAP’s design language and fit philosophy (pro fit and team fit) help it stand out in both aesthetics and ride performance.
• What fabrics and performance technologies does MAAP use in its kit?

  MAAP uses high-stretch, moisture-wicking fabrics and specialized constructions such as 4D woven fabric for muscle support and temperature regulation, kite mesh on bib straps for breathability, and Pertex® Shield fabric on waterproof jackets for lightweight protection. Jerseys often use Bluesign-approved knit fabrics and select garments include SPF 50+ protection, anti-odour/anti-bacterial treatments, and multi-density perforated foams in gloves for pressure relief. The brand emphasizes materials that retain shape and durability across repeated washes.
• How is MAAP addressing sustainability in its products?

  Sustainability is central to MAAP’s strategy, with a stated goal to make 100% of on-bike apparel from recycled yarns and a focus on responsible material selection and manufacturing processes. Many garments incorporate recycled fibers and Bluesign-approved textiles, and MAAP designs products to be long-lasting and repairable to reduce end-of-life waste. The brand also considers packability and durability to extend usable life across many rides and washes.
• How do MAAP’s fit options and gender-specific cuts affect sizing and pocket capacity?

  MAAP offers two primary fits—pro fit (slimmer, race-oriented) and team fit (more relaxed)—both generally cut for a slim silhouette; riders who prefer extra room or carry more items should opt for team fit. Note that pro fit jerseys can have tighter rear pockets, so consider pocket capacity if you carry tools or nutrition, and verify gender-specific availability since some base layers and undershirts are currently offered only in men’s cuts.
