Bioracer is a Belgian company specialized in developing and producing sportswear, with a primary focus on cycling apparel apparel. The company was founded by Raymond Vanstraelen in 1986 in Tessenderlo, Belgium. “Bioracer supplies clothing to both professional cycling teams and recreational cyclists and uses a scientific approach in the development of sports apparel.”
History
Bioracer started as a small family business with the goal of developing clothing that supports performance and comfort. Over the years, has since become active internationally in cycling apparel.
Key milestones in the company's history include:
- Establishment of its own production facility, allowing full control over manufacturing, quality, and custom orders.
- Expansion into international markets, with customers in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Innovation and Technology
Bioracer has a research and development department where clothing is tested for aerodynamics and material performance. The company uses technologies such as wind tunnel testing and has its own research and development center, the Protolab, where clothing is tested for aerodynamics, material performance, and fit.
Important innovations include aerodynamic speedwear and skinsuits, developed for professional cycling teams and national squads. These suits have been used in international competitions such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games, including the World Championships and the Olympic Games. The company continually explores new materials and designs to optimize comfort and performance and has developed aerodynamic speedwear and skinsuits for professional cycling teams and national squads. In January 2024, Team Belgium, Belgian Cycling, and Bioracer unveiled the Olympic cycling kit for the Paris 2024 Games..[1]
Products and Customization
Bioracer produces different types of cycling apparel, such as, including cycling jerseys, bib shorts, aero shorts, and accessories such as socks and gloves. The company also offers custom kits for professional teams, clubs, and national squads, enabling clients to have their own designs produced.
Until 2022, Bioracer manufactured most of its cycling apparel in Belgium, focusing on custom-made products and innovative technologies. Since 2022, the company has relocated its production activities to facilities in North Macedonia, Romania, and Colombia. The headquarters and research and development operations, however, remain based in Belgium.

- Triathlon: trisuits optimized for swimming, cycling, and running, emphasizing comfort and aerodynamics.
- Running and athletics: lightweight, breathable competition and training apparel.
- Track cycling and speed skating: aerodynamic suits developed using similar technology as for cycling apparel.
Bioracer technologies are also applied in sports where aerodynamics are important, such as triathlon, athletics, and speed skating.
