Rapha unveils Shanghai clubhouse and retail space
British cycling brand Rapha has opened its new Shanghai Clubhouse in a restored 1925 mansion in Xuhui District. The space is designed as a community hub for the city’s growing cycling scene, featuring industrial materials and mid-century modern style. As part of the opening, Rapha launched its first joint retail space with performance bike maker Factor Bikes, offering apparel, bikes, and fitting services. China has become one of Rapha’s fastest-growing markets. Its Rapha Cycling Club now has over 550 members in mainland China, and its Women’s 100 event recently drew more than 1,000 participants in the country.
