French cycling and outdoors brand Café du Cycliste and climbing-inspired French/Japanese carry brand Topologie are launching a joint capsule collection.

The collaboration is themed as the signature kit and luggage of Ventoux race 2026, a gravel race on the iconic Mont Ventoux that starts and finishes at the Café du Cycliste store in Bédoin – and the distortion on the designs alludes to the summer heat haze on Ventoux and the way that extreme effort when racing can cloud the vision.
