When you're mountain bike legend Greg Minnaar you know a thing or two about what you want from your MTB kit.

The pre-curved leg construction also takes into account aggressive riding positions while a raised back waistband offers extended coverage. Trail-ready durability comes by the way of an abrasion-resistant seat panel, toughening up an area prone to rubbing from the saddle and muddy grit.
