06 — The Purpose
The Performance System
Different demands.
Purpose-built platforms.
Every Sportkraft garment sits on one of three performance platforms, with a model number that tells you exactly how it is built. Fewer names, clearer choices, no guesswork.
Core / 1.X
Race / 2.X
Aero / 3.X
How To Read It
Platform, then model, then product type.
The first digit is the platform and never changes meaning. The decimal identifies the construction inside that garment family. Sleeve length, collar, pockets, fabric and artwork are configuration — not a different model.

Compare Platforms
Different objectives, not better and worse.
Aero is not an upgrade on Race — it is a specialised objective. Choose the platform that matches how you ride, then choose the model.
