MAAP and GreenEDGE Unveil Revamped 2026 Aurora Kit
Jayco AlUla (formerly GreenEDGE) and premium cycling apparel brand MAAP have officially unveiled their redesigned 2026 team kit, featuring an evolution of the iconic Aurora design theme. The revamped jersey brings together cutting-edge WorldTour-level performance fabrics with a striking visual identity that has become synonymous with the Australian WorldTour team.
A Fresh Take on the Aurora Design
The 2026 kit marks a significant design evolution for the partnership between MAAP and the team. The Aurora motif — inspired by the natural light display visible in polar regions — has been reimagined with a more dynamic gradient pattern that flows across the jersey body. The deep navy base transitions into vibrant teal and purple accents, creating a visual effect that mirrors the movement of the aurora australis over the Southern Ocean.
This is more than just a cosmetic update. The 2026 kit incorporates MAAP’s latest material innovations, developed through extensive wind tunnel testing and rider feedback collected throughout the 2025 season. The result is a jersey that offers measurable aerodynamic improvements while maintaining the breathability and moisture management that WorldTour riders demand during grueling stage races.
WorldTour-Level Performance Features
The new kit utilizes MAAP’s premium Transfer fabric platform, which has been engineered to provide optimal compression and muscle support during high-intensity efforts. The fabric features a dual-layer construction: a moisture-wicking inner layer that moves sweat away from the skin, and a smooth outer layer that reduces aerodynamic drag.
Key features of the 2026 kit include:
- Aero-optimized sleeve construction: Raglan-style sleeves with laser-cut raw edges reduce friction and improve airflow
- Extended rear pockets: Three deep cargo pockets with an integrated pump holder, tested for stability at high speeds and on rough road surfaces
- Full-length YKK zipper: Lightweight, snag-resistant zipper with a locking puller for easy ventilation on climbs
- UV50+ protection: Sun protection built into the fabric for long days in the saddle under the Australian and European sun
- Reflective details: Strategic placement of reflective elements on rear pockets and side panels for safety in low-light conditions
A Design for the Fans
MAAP has made the team kit available for purchase by the general public through their online store and select retail partners. This allows cycling fans to wear the same performance-level kit worn by the professionals at Jayco AlUla during the 2026 WorldTour season, including the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España.
The consumer version of the kit uses the same fabrics and construction methods as the race-worn version, ensuring fans get an authentic pro-level experience. The replica kit includes the full team branding and sponsor logos, just like what the riders wear on race day.
The 2026 MAAP x GreenEDGE collection includes the short-sleeve jersey, bib shorts, base layer, arm warmers, and gilet — all designed to work together as a complete race-day system. Pricing is competitive for high-end technical cycling apparel, with jerseys starting at approximately $210 USD.
Where to Buy
The full 2026 Jayco AlUla team kit is available now on MAAP’s official website and at authorized MAAP retailers worldwide. Given the popularity of previous Aurora editions, early purchase is recommended for fans wanting to secure their size before the Tour de France build-up begins.
