MAAP VS RAPHA: SIZING
MAAP and Rapha size differently, and the letter on the label is not the whole story. MAAP cuts a shorter torso than most brands and sits close on the arms — big arms or a long torso, go up one. Rapha Core is the reference point most riders know; Pro Team runs about half a size smaller and is cut for the riding position. The map below comes from both brands' verified charts and what we see fitting customers in the shop every day.
