The products and product families helping shape the 2026 Tour de France — available from Velo-Perso.com
From components directly connected to UAE Team Emirates-XRG to technologies rooted in professional racing culture, Velo-Perso makes modern, high-performance and customisable solutions available for your own bike.
Tour de France equipment goes far beyond complete bikes
Every July, attention naturally turns to the latest frames. Yet a significant part of performance is found in the details: sunglasses, crank length, power measurement, bearings, chainline, chainring size and rear-derailleur efficiency.
This selection deliberately separates products with a direct connection to the 2026 Tour from those extending a Grand Tour heritage or a technical approach developed at the highest level. They all share the same purpose: bringing an idea from the professional peloton to a production bike, with a setup genuinely suited to the rider.
Scicon and Bikone: two suppliers closely connected to UAE
Here, the link with the professional peloton is not merely visual: it involves products developed, validated or released for the environment of Tadej Pogačar’s team.
The two Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium editions representing Pogačar and UAE
The Tour de France is also experienced through a rider’s eyewear. With the Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium, Scicon combines a lightweight frame, medical-grade titanium temples, an interchangeable Hi-Contrast lens and ventilation designed for high-intensity efforts.
Velo-Perso offers the two most emblematic editions of the season: the World Champion 2026 model inspired by Tadej Pogačar’s rainbow jersey, and the UAE Team edition directly linked to his team’s visual identity.
The Bikone UAE bottom bracket: the hidden detail inside Pogačar’s Colnago Y1Rs
Bikone is the bottom-bracket partner of UAE Team Emirates-XRG. The UAE Aero BSA Shimano version reflects this level of attention with a smooth external cup, hybrid ceramic bearings and 7075-T6 aluminium machining.
It is a discreet yet highly advanced component: 77 g claimed and 79 g measured by Velo-Perso on the photographed sample. It is designed for 68 mm BSA threaded frames combined with a Shimano 24 mm axle crankset.
Rotor, Alugear and CyclingCeramic: performance you can configure
These brands are not all involved as official suppliers to a 2026 Tour team. They nevertheless provide technologies directly influenced by professional racing, time trialling and the search for drivetrain efficiency.
ALDHU Carbon INspider V2: carbon, power data and short crank options
Rotor is not presented here as the official partner of a 2026 Tour team. The ALDHU Carbon family nevertheless has genuine top-level racing heritage, including Grand Tour stage victories, notably at the Giro.
This version combines carbon crank arms, a 30 mm aluminium axle and an INspider V2 power meter positioned at the centre of the crankset. It measures the total effort transmitted through the spider and provides advanced pedalling data, while keeping the configured system to a claimed weight of only 640 g.
Shorter cranks can make a lower, more aerodynamic position easier to maintain, reduce peak hip flexion and suit certain riders particularly well. The choice must, however, remain consistent with body proportions, saddle height and gearing.
Large single chainrings inspired by modern time-trial bikes
In time trials, very large chainrings can help preserve a favourable chainline and reduce chain articulation at high speed. Alugear brings this approach to a product designed for Shimano asymmetric 110x4 cranksets.
The Velo-Perso product page offers large sizes including 56, 58 and 60 teeth. The wider Alugear family may also include 62-tooth references depending on the manufacturer’s current catalogue, but availability should always be confirmed before ordering.
CyclingCeramic Race derailleur cage: Arkéa’s 2025 equipment remains available
CyclingCeramic was a technical partner of Arkéa-B&B Hotels during the 2025 Tour de France. The team has since ceased operations, but the technology developed and used at the highest level remains available to riders using Shimano drivetrains.
The Race cage combines a UD carbon structure with oversized 14- and 19-tooth aluminium pulleys running on grade-3 ceramic bearings. The aim is to reduce chain articulation, improve drivetrain smoothness and give the bike a more individual visual identity through the different colour options.
Choose with a professional mindset, but configure the bike for yourself
The right component is not necessarily the most spectacular one. It must suit your frame, crank axle, drivetrain, crank length, cadence and intended use. Explore the complete product families to build a coherent setup.
Connections with professional cycling are described according to their exact nature: partnership or edition directly associated with a team, use during a previous season, racing heritage or technology inspired by the highest level. The inclusion of a brand in this selection does not mean that every product is used by every rider or on every stage of the 2026 Tour de France. Compatibility must always be checked according to the frame’s model year and the crankset installed.
