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. This Lycra® Power based material provides firm compression of your muscles, encouraging blood flow and flushing out of the pain of hard anaerobic efforts.

A reflective band to the outside also keeps you visible when riding in low-light conditions.

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.
