The story

More than a jersey.

Voler Apparel has provided the official Berkeley Omnium winner's jersey for many years. Voler has made cycling apparel in California since 1986, and still makes it at its own factory in Grover Beach, California. In 2026 it was also the official jersey sponsor of the Berkeley Omnium.

Its factory team races, too. In 2024, Voler Factory Racing's Ryan Gorman won the men's Pro/1/2/3 race at the Berkeley Hills Road Race, with four teammates finishing in the top 25. In 2025, five VFR riders finished the same race, led by Mark Morton in 8th.

That's the kind of partnership bike racing runs on: a company that supports the race, and a team that shows up to race it hard.

A sponsor that races

Voler makes the kit. VFR races in it.

  1. Make the kit
  2. Support the race
  3. Race it
  4. Win it in 2024

Most sponsors see a race from the sidelines. Voler's connection to the Berkeley Omnium runs from the jersey to the start line.

Voler provides the jersey Berkeley Omnium winners pull on, and in 2024 Voler Factory Racing's Ryan Gorman won the Berkeley Hills Road Race's top men's field.
