Velocio's SS26 MTB Collection Gets a Quiet Update
If you've been searching for the best mountain bike apparel of 2026, Velocio's SS26 MTB collection deserves your attention. The brand has built a reputation for obsessive attention to detail. Technical trail kit that stays comfy on climbs and descents alike, and this season's Spring/Summer lineup delivers exactly what we have come to expect from the brand: smart refinements that make already-great gear even better. New colorways, updated fits, and subtle functional tweaks make this one worth noting, whether you're deep in Velocio's ecosystem or discovering the brand for the first time.
The headline story this season is the color palette. The new SS26 lineup leans into lighter, more natural tones, think Elderberry, Pumice Stone, and Tourmaline. Shades that feel right at home in the trees without hollering for attention. It's a warmer, earthier direction than previous seasons, and it sits naturally alongside the existing colorways that fans of the line have already adopted as their uniform. Myself included.
I've been riding in Velocio kit for the better part of the last 12 months, and the Ultralight Pants, Shorts, and Delta Trail Jersey have become some of the staples in my wardrobe for their tailored fit, breathability, and overall build quiality.

The biggest functional update lands on the Delta Trail Long Sleeve and Delta Trail Jersey, two pieces that have gotten a lot of wear from me during the 2025 season. For SS26, both get a more relaxed fit and flat-lay collars. These are thoughtful tweaks that smooth out how the jersey sits under a chest pack or backpack and eliminate that bunched-up-under-the-strap annoyance that you never really noticed until it was gone. It's exactly the kind of detail that doesn't show up in a spec sheet but absolutely shows up on a six-hour ride.

The Ultralight MTB Jersey, already one of the better hot-weather trail tops on the market (even in black), adds Tourmaline, Pumice Stone, and Black as fresh color options this season. The jersey itself hasn't changed. No change here is a great thing because the fabric and fit were already dialed, but the new tones give riders who've been waiting for an excuse to pull the trigger plenty of reasons to do so.
Down below, the Ultralight MTB Short and Pant pick up a new Charcoal option, rounding out a bottom lineup that's already impressively versatile. Charcoal is one of those non-colors that somehow works with everything, and on a trail short that you're going to be wearing on repeat through an entire summer of riding, that's not nothing.
