With sizes only going up to an XL, however, some Instagram users are taking note. @betsyleigh0103 said:
And you still don’t believe women in extended size bodies are putting in long miles every day on your equipment. BE INCLUSIVE
When the apparel collaboration for Peloton x lululemon dropped, it came under fire for its lack of inclusive sizing; for its next clothing drop, Peloton x lululemon released clothing that had sizes up to size 20. We’ll be keeping our eye on the Peloton x Rapha collaboration and on Peloton members’ responses to the sizing options offered.
