Rather than sit back and rest, the Ale design team have pushed to improve the performance of the Speedfondo Bib Shorts yet further. Making use of an innovative, ultra-matt, fast-drying fabric, the fit and feel of the shorts take a major step up. When you're facing into long mountain climbs or making the pace over cobbled roads, you can be confident that the Speedfondos are going to remain comfortable, even when lungs are burning and legs screaming from high-intensity efforts. All technical details have also been reappraised and improved upon, delivering extra muscle support and outstanding breathability. For endurance rides that stretch from early morning to late evening, reflective details keep you visible too. X Air Bib Construction The redesigned bib section Ale call their X Air Bib Construction. Using soft microfibre straps and a lightweight X-shaped back, this 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. AM Carbon Fibre Elsewhere, Ale deploys the anti-static and anti-bacterial advantages of their AM Carbon Fibre material in the upper layers of the seat insert. Dispersing charges accumulated during physical activity and accelerating sweat evaporation, this material contributes to extra comfort on the bike. Men’s 8HF Seat Pad Inside, the Men’s “8HF” pad utilises an elastic microfibre with memory padding, strategically positioned at the saddle contact points for maximum comfort. In the perineal and ischiatic area, higher density 120kg/m³ padding ensures the very best support on the saddle and vibration-damped comfort across even the roughest of roads. Meanwhile, a central relief channel protects sensitive nerve endings while lateral shaped flexible wings follow the body for complete freedom of movement and comfort when pedalling

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.
