Part of the cutting edge REV-1 racing range, the Pro Race Strong Bib Shorts offer a perfect balance of comfort, muscle support and of course the added protection from Dyneema®. Fluid and Supple Muscle Support In order to give you a smooth and fluid pedal stroke while at the time lightly compressing hard-working muscles, Ale deploys their Zaffiro material. This Lycra® Power material is used to gently squeeze and compresses muscles, encouraging blood flow and providing fatigue-busting support during pedalling. Multi-direction stretch also gives perfect motion and return while excellent abrasion resistance adds durability in saddle contact areas. Dyneema® Side Panels Whether racing or training, there’s always a chance you’ll pay a visit to the tarmac, which is where the Dyneema® side panels come into play. Stronger than steel at the same weight, it offers outstanding cut and abrasion resistance. In the event of a crash, this contributes to less likelihood of suffering ride-ending road rash and you won’t have a set of ruined shorts either. Lightweight and breathable, it’s a brilliant addition to these race-ready shorts. Y-Air Bib System With their Y-Air Bib System, Ale has increased rider comfort by lessening the contact area between straps and skin. With more skin open to the air, both breathability and ventilation are improved. Thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are also maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps promote a feeling of lightweight comfort and freshness. Men's Velocity 8F seat pad Offering long-ride comfort on the saddle, the Men's Velocity 8F seat pad makes use of open-cell foam to add support just where you need it most. With a density of 100 g/m² and a maximum thickness of 12mm, you'll enjoy vibration absorption and easing of pressure at the saddle contact points. With perforations in the foam, this pad is significantly better at dealing with perspiration than a non-ventilated pad. It also allows for better airflow and quicker drying times, both keeping you feeling fresh and dry, no matter how many miles you're into your ride.
Taking three highly functional fabrics, textured Micro Piquet, plus Piuma and Air, Ale creates their lightweight Women's Solid Blend Jersey. Exquisite comfort and exceptional moisture management are key characteristics you'll enjoy as summer heat arrives. As temperatures and the pace starts to rise, any excess sweat is soon dealt with, wicked away where it can evaporate off the jersey surface, leaving you dry and comfortable no matter how hard you're pedalling. The performance fit of the Solid jersey offers a touch more room than their race fit garments, making it perfect for any size and shape of rider and for those of you who value all-day comfort and freedom of movement above pure aerodynamic considerations. Open mesh die-cut sleeves are a nod to smooth airflow but it's the comfort and breathability they give that really counts. A silicone waist gripper provides a flush fit with your shorts and a smooth-running zipper makes it easy to control ventilation when the road climbs and scorching heat arrives.
The PRR (Pro Racing Research) range is all about giving you the most cutting-edge cycling products, keeping you comfortable and focused on training and racing goals. And the PRR Sella Bib Shorts have a host of features to keep you on track and exceeding your goals. To the legs, Ale uses their stretchy Zaffiro fabric.

With a high degree of stretch, you’ll also be able to maintain your smooth pedal stroke. And with formidable breathability, sweat is quickly dealt with too. At the ends of the legs, you’ll find the proven Mesh Stability System. An open-weave elasticated gripper, with internal silicone dots, gives a snug and secure fit. A reflective band to the outside also keeps you visible when riding in low-light conditions. AM Carbon Fibre Elsewhere, Ale deploys the anti-static and anti-bacterial advantages of their AM Carbon Fibre material. Dispersing charges accumulated during physical activity and accelerating sweat evaporation, this material contributes to extra comfort on the bike. X Air Bib Construction Using soft microfibre straps and a lightweight perforated breathable back, the X Air Bib system minimises skin contact, leaving more skin open to the air. This allows for rapid sweat evaporation for greater comfort and freshness. The careful positioning of the straps also gives extra stability and holds your shorts in the optimal position at all times. Ale Men's 4HF seat pad Inside the shorts, you'll find Ale's men's-specific 4HF seat pad. This gives luxurious comfort for all your long or short bike rides. It's constructed from elastic micro-fibre with padding strategically positioned in the contact points and features a central relief channel to avoid stress on nerve endings. For the best comfort and support high-density, 8mm deep 90 kg/cm2 padding is used where it's most needed in the ischiadic and perineal zones. This pad gives the very best combination of comfort, wicking, breathability and is also incredibly fast drying to ensure the utmost comfort on the saddle.
Autumn and spring training can see you ticking off steady base-building rides mixed in with higher intensity efforts as you build fitness for summer. And when you add varying temperatures to the mix, getting your kit choice just right can be tricky. But with the Solid Thorn Long Sleeved Cycling Jersey, you have a top that deals extremely well with this variety. Thanks to the Thermo Piquet 200 fabric you'll enjoy excellent warmth when it comes to those slower, steadier rides in cooler temperatures. However, if and when you face stiff headwinds, steep climbs and hard intervals, the sweat you inevitably generate is quickly dealt with. Moisture is drawn off the skin so as to prevent discomfort and the fabric is quick-drying too - as the pace settles down again, you won't feel cold and clammy. The performance fit of the jersey keeps wind resistance to a minimum while still offering plenty of flexibility to move about your bike. The slimmer fit also makes it easy to use as a mid-layer under a winter/rain jacket.
