We’re excited to announce that Q36.5, one of the most innovative and performance-driven cycling clothing brands in the world, is now available at Merlin Cycles.
Founded in 2013 by Luigi Bergamo, Q36.5 takes its name from a blend of science and philosophy: “Q” stands for quaerere — Latin for research — while 36.5 refers to the optimal human body temperature. This idea sits at the heart of everything the brand creates.
Designed and engineered in Italy, Q36.5 has built a reputation for doing things differently. Every piece of clothing is developed with a single goal in mind: to help riders maintain their body’s ideal temperature and perform at their best, no matter the conditions.
What Makes Q36.5 Different?
Q36.5 isn’t about trends or loud graphics. It’s about science, precision, and performance.
The brand’s philosophy of thermoregulation runs through every garment. By focusing on advanced materials and minimalist construction, Q36.5 creates kit that works with your body rather than against it.
As Lodovico Pignatti Morano, Creative Director at Q36.5, explains:
“Our brand synergy with Merlin is based on a shared approach to offer what we call the luxury of performance — the development of high-performance racing gear whose engineering benefits are a pleasure to wear for riders of all levels.”
Key features you’ll find across the range include:
- Advanced proprietary fabrics developed specifically for cycling
- Seam-reduced and ergonomic construction for long-ride comfort
- Exceptional thermoregulation, keeping you cool in the heat and warm when conditions change
- Made in Italy craftsmanship, with meticulous attention to detail
Trusted by the Pros
Q36.5 is worn at the highest level of the sport, including the peloton of the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. Their kit is tested under the toughest race conditions in the world, then refined for riders who demand the same performance on their own rides.
