Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco will both wear swap-out kits this summer for the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, adding 'electric' green highlights to their signature purple 'Aurora' purple jerseys.
MAAP, in a second year as an official sponsor for GreenEDGE Cycling's WorldTour programmes, will produce the limited-edition kits as part of their presence at Paris Fashion Week. The Melbourne-based cycling apparel brand revealed the special Tour jerseys today at a public exhibition for Fashion Week, the MAAP HYPERFORMANCE installation located at 36 Rue Étienne Marcel in Paris.
Jayco AlUla will be the first on the start line with the new kits, the Tour de France beginning with a Grand Départ in Barcelona and stage 1 on July 4. The Liv AlUla Jayco squad will then fly the new colours at the Tour de France Femmes, beginning August 1 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
"As we hit our 15th season, we want to keep pushing the boundaries of what a professional cycling team looks like," Brent Copeland, general manager of Team Jayco-AlUla, said in a joint press release with MAAP. "Racing the Tour in this kit is about standing out and showing our ambition right from the first stage."
This year's kits added a striking flame motif on the purple jersey, with the MAAP logo on the shoulders and back pocket in a muted 'electric' green. The same green colour now punches into the flame motif, rising from the waistband to the centre of the kit on all sides, plus a splash of the green flame on the sleeves.
The launch during Paris Fashion Week was not just about new design, but also material innovation, as "the project brings elite cycling technology into a cultural setting rarely occupied by professional sport", according to MAAP.
"No leader's jersey clash to avoid, no UCI mandate, just a desire to drop something unexpected on cycling's biggest stage."
The brand incorporated several technical developments with the 2026 kits for their sponsored teams in January, including refined aerodynamics and improved thermoregulation for its lightweight race speedsuit, and changes to the fabrication of time trial speedsuits.
A limited production of 150 swap-out kits will be available for purchase worldwide from June 30, sold at MAAP.cc and select MAAP LaB locations worldwide.
