At RUBBER N’ ROAD, we believe that cycling is about more than just the race. It’s about the community, the passion, and the pursuit of excellence. That’s why we were thrilled to design and produce the official podium jerseys for the Central Park Spring Classic, New York City’s inaugural road race of the 2025 season.
Introducing the NYC Central Park Spring Classic Podium Jersey
Each jersey is handcrafted at our NYC Atelier and takes about 16 hours to create. Every piece of fabric and artwork is cut, stitched, assembled, and finished in the heart of Manhattan: RUBBER N’ ROAD @ 466 W 51st St.
Designed exclusively for the winners of NYC’s Central Park Spring Classic Race, these jerseys are a testament to our commitment to technical superiority, craft, and the community that inspires us.
A Jersey Fit for Champions
The design pays tribute to the rich heritage of cycling while pushing the boundaries of performance. Engineered with a combination of cutting-edge, US-milled fabrics and proprietary fabrics developed by us, these jerseys merge tradition with innovation: crafted to be earned, not given.
With a sleek, race-inspired aesthetic, premium materials, and an ultra-lightweight feel, these jerseys provide the perfect balance of performance and prestige. Every champion deserves a jersey that reflects their achievement, and we were honored to craft a design worthy of the podium.
Supporting Local Racing Culture
Racing in Central Park is a unique privilege steeped in heritage, with racing in the park dating back to the late 19th century. The Central Park Spring Classic is the inaugural race of the New York City cycling season, bringing together elite and amateur racers to test their limits against the iconic backdrop of Central Park. By supporting this event, we reinforce our commitment to fostering a thriving cycling culture in our city. Our mission at RUBBER N’ ROAD is not only to create world-class cycling apparel but also to invest in the community that fuels the sport we love.
For us, cycling race sponsorship is more than support: it’s a way to respect our roots, honor the athletes who push their limits, the roads that shape our city, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
