Royal Turbulence LS jersey


The Turbulence has a generous cut, but well-shaped shoulders mean that when you move, the jersey doesn’t get pulled in all directions with you, making it comfortable to ride in.

Taller riders will appreciate the way this generosity applies to the length too – the jersey is long through the body, with no hint of riding up as you move around on the bike. If we were being fussy – and we always are – we’d say there’s too much bulk under the arms, but on the bike this isn’t as noticeable as off it.

It’s one of the warmer styles tested and more suited to cooler spring days than the height of summer, though the mesh inserts on the upper arms and shoulders do help by creating some airflow.

PRICE 69$

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body.
