Body Care

Long rides get harder without the right fuel and the right protection — and the Body Care collection at RA Cycles covers both. This is the category for everything that keeps you comfortable and performing across the full duration of a ride: chamois crème that prevents saddle soreness before it starts, energy gels and chews for sustained output, supplements built for endurance athletes, and the cleaners and skin care that handle recovery after the fact.

The collection spans nutrition from GU, SIS, Carbs Fuel, and Clif alongside serious supplementation from First Endurance — whose MultiV-Pro, OptygenHP, and HALO products target the specific demands of endurance training and racing. Assos chamois crème, skin repair gel, and active wear cleaner round out the kit. Everything here is practical, functional, and chosen to support the rider putting in real work.

Body Care & Cycling Nutrition

Body care for cyclists falls into two distinct areas: what goes on your body to prevent discomfort during a ride, and what goes into your body to sustain performance through one. Chamois crème sits squarely in the first category — applied before long rides to reduce friction and prevent saddle-related skin breakdown. Energy gels, chews, and drink mixes cover the fueling side, delivering fast-acting carbohydrates and electrolytes during efforts when solid food is not practical. Supplements like altitude adaptogens and endurance-specific multivitamins address the longer-term training demands that ride-day nutrition alone cannot meet.

RA Cycles stocks body care and nutrition products from brands including First Endurance, GU, SIS, Carbs Fuel, Clif, and Assos. First Endurance anchors the supplement side with OptygenHP, MultiV-Pro, and HALO — products designed specifically for endurance athletes. On the fueling side, GU Roctane gels, SIS Beta Fuel drink mixes and gels, and Carbs Fuel sachets cover training and race-day carbohydrate needs. Assos contributes chamois crème, skin repair gel, and active wear cleaner for pre-ride preparation and post-ride care. Coffee from Café Cyclista rounds out a collection that covers the full arc of a cyclist's day.

50 YEARS AND COUNTING

That half-century belongs as much to you as it does to us. The riders who kept coming back, who sent their friends, who trusted us with bikes that matter — you're the reason we're still here.
