Continual Improvement Assos are committed to continual improvement. And the MILLE GT Bib Shorts C2 are a perfect example, taking their highly acclaimed GT shorts and subjecting them to a rigorous re-evaluation and redesign to enhance the fit, feel and performance. Improvements to the waist design, premium X-frame suspension carriage and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively) have all led to shorts that feel just right, the moment you pull them on. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease. It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, matching the longer days of summer. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit isn't so compressive as their RaceFit but it's certainly not going to slow you down. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The aero comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 6mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. MILLE GT C2 Insert With 3mm of extra cushioning, the MILLE GT C2 pad is more comfortable, more supportive and more shock-absorbing than ever. Compressive foam layers, up to 11mm in depth, provide endurance-focused support on the saddle. The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.

A liner built on our versatile bib short platform engineered to be worn directly under your TRAIL Cargo Shorts. We merged the support of a bib the storage of a pack and the protection of pads from our bib short platform with floating pockets a strategically placed insert and a construction specific to off-road riding. We positioned two cargo pockets high enough along the lower back to avoid contact with the waistband yet low enough for easy access to their contents under your jersey. Slim dual pockets are spacious enough for an extra bottle pump multitool keys etc. The raw-cut waist has been constructed with a tall V-shaped panel that comfortably molds to your lower abdomen while in the riding position and we finished the hems with a raw-cut silicone-backed design for a smooth secure fit. 71%PA 21%EA 8%PL

The Spatzwear 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts are like nothing else on the market. Designed to let you ride as far as you want; as fast as you want. Developed to work in perfect unison with our Jerseys, Base Layers and Gilets. The killer features of the 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts are the cargo pockets. Not only 2 mesh pockets positioned across the rear section, but also a small additional pocket placed snugly on the inside top of the right thigh: Extra convenience when you want to grab or stow a gel without causing unneccesary faff, bulk or drag. The cut of the shorts is long (down to the knee). We have added 10cm woven-in silicone grippers for comfort, positioning and to integrate beautifully with leg, knee or thigh warmers. Logos are subtle, black rubberised print and go unnoticed until a headlight beam hits, when the reflective paint glows up strong. We have added subtle logos under the mesh cargo pockets which only catch the eye in the glare of a headlight. We have specified a high quality, perforated synthetic chamois that performs well with or without chamois cream. After 2 years of testing and development, we opted for a medium thickness, medium density chamois that will not bunch up as you shift and move on the bike. These are shorts which you could realistically use for a 200km gravel epic, and then wear to smash up your local evening criterium the next day. They will soon become your go-to shorts for racing, training, gravel or simply riding. We have designed shorts which are fitted and aerodynamic yet offer features you will come to rely on every day. They have been developed and tested to destruction by the current Olympic Champion. The 'CONVOY' Bib Shorts epitomise our strap-line: UTILITY WITH SPEED .
The Castelli Free Aero RC Pro Bib Shorts are the latest reincarnation of Castelli’s all-time best-selling model, known for doing everything well. Engineered as fast, top-level racing bib shorts, they expertly combine luxury with speed, being built around Castelli’s best seat pad, the Progetto X² Air seamless.Constructed with two densities of foam and gel pads that absorb vibrations and improve ride quality, not to mention a soft upper layer that moves with the skin, this pad offers superb long-distance comfort. Half the number of panels in the short portion means less seams, making these bib shorts easier to wear than ever, as do the minimalist, breathable mesh bib straps, constructed with an open weave and narrow coverage for maximum airflow.

Ride Hard. Ride Fast. You’ve worked hard all through winter, building your base, topping up your FTP and boosting your anaerobic engine. And with the Velocity HD2 Bib Shorts, you have a performance garment that maximises those gains. It begins with use of Ale’s wind-tunnel tested ‘Aero 3D’ fabric. The engineered jacquard structure works to deliver a significant reduction in drag, keeping you slippery through the air as your speed rises. But not just that, Aero 3D’s elasticity and recovery boost muscle compression, encouraging improved blood flow and venous return. Lightweight Comfort Complementing the aero fabric is lightweight ‘Speedy’ fabric. Thanks to its low weight it feels barely there while its excellent breathability keeps you feeling cooler and fresher when the pace increases. An orthogonal woven structure enhances durability and at the same time gives the ideal degree of muscle support and compression. 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, but thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps also promote a feeling of lightweight and freshness. Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad Using dual-density padding, the Men's 8H+ EVO seat pad gives superb comfort and support for rides up to and exceeding 8 hours in length. A true endurance product, maximum support is reserved for areas that feel the greatest pressure when you’re on the saddle. Elsewhere, lower-density foam keeps mobility high. Perforations maintain excellent breathability and airflow while flexible wings allow for easy freedom of movement as you pedal and for when you’re jumping in and out of the saddle for sprints and hill climbs.
