The Premio Bibshort has been engineered to provide the ultimate in long-distance comfort and to be your favourite bibshort ever. That’s a big claim, but there’s a lot of development in this short to back it up. We’ve carried the less-is-more theme into the design, with minimalist laser-etched logos and subtle finishing. It looks as premium as it feels. The first thing you might notice is what’s missing: the seams and multiple panels. We engineered a new fabric that changes depending on the needs over various parts of the body. The lower leg has a raw-cut leg ending and rubberized yarns to guarantee a flat grip to keep the leg in place. The fabric becomes lighter in the thigh, while the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. With this magical fabric, we don’t need to stitch separate panels together, which ensures more comfort and a better fit, as well as a sleek, sophisticated look. The premium fabrics extend the bib straps. The perforated back keeps you cool and the edge is bonded so you don’t feel the thickness of a stitched edge. The elastic straps have just enough modulus (return) to hold your shorts securely in place without cutting into your shoulders. The seat pad is our top-of-the-line Progetto X² Air Seamless pad. It’s actually two separate components: a soft, stretchy Skin Care Layer next to your skin, which has the sole purpose of preventing any rubbing on your skin, and, under that, the Cushioning Layer, which features two separate densities of foam along with breathable perforated gel inserts under the ischiatic bones and perineum. In the pelvis area, the compression and support increase to keep the seat pad and everything else in place, and the fabric gets thicker to avoid any embarrassing transparency issues. Features: The premium all-conditions short Gradient stretch woven fabric for the right support in the right place Woven fabric weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabric Perforated back bib panel with lie flat bib straps that don’t bind at shoulders Integrated gripper elastic at leg ending holds short in place without need for extra silicone grippers Laser-etched logos with RossoCorsa at center back and black scorpion shadow logos at lower legs Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad
The hands are a key contact point with your bike and one not to be overlooked when it comes to comfort, the as such investing in the Rosso Corsa Espresso Gloves is an investment in your riding comfort. Using high-stretch materials the gloves give a brilliantly snug fit that feels like a second skin and with an easy-open cuff, there's no struggle to put them on or peel them off after a tough ride. With the addition of their new Castelli Damping System, you'll also enjoy protection from road vibration with no sacrifice on grip levels. Castelli Damping System As cyclists, we can occasionally suffer numbness and discomfort in the hands, simply from prolonged periods of gripping the bars. The Castelli Damping System seeks to address this issue by carefully positioning a combination of cushioning foams and protection in key zones across the palm, providing damping from road vibration and increasing control and comfort.
The Espresso GT Glove has what it takes to keep you cycling when the weather has other ideas. It starts with a GORE-TEX® windproof and waterproof membrane to keep out the nastiest of weather conditions. As with all Gore-Tex materials, this gets the ‘Guaranteed to Keep You dry ™’ stamp of approval. Next comes the outstanding PrimaLoft® Gold insulation. This modern synthetic insulator offers unrivalled levels of warmth and yet weighs almost next to nothing. The GT is also very easy to get on and off thanks to the YKK® water-repellent zipper. And the grip control palm offers unshakeable grip no matter the weather. This is the glove for the nastiest, coldest cycling conditions. No excuses. It’s time to get cycling.
Seamless ‘Less is More’ Performance As soon as you pull the Women’s Premio Black Shorts on you’ll immediately notice these are unlike other shorts you’ll have worn. They take a ‘less is more’ approach to design, with fewer seams and fewer panels than is usual for cycling shorts. This is made possible by an engineered fabric that seamlessly changes in characteristic to suit each part of the body. With no need to stitch panels together, comfort is enhanced and gives the shorts a sleek, sophisticated look. Gradient Stretch At the pelvis, both compression and support are high, holding the seat pad firmly in place. The fabric is also thicker to avoid any transparency issues. Meanwhile, the fabric becomes lighter as it moves down the thighs. This gives a significant boost to mobility and moisture management, ideal as you inject some pace and intensity during your ride. And the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. Raw cut endings and rubberised yarns keep the legs securely and smoothly in place too. Meanwhile, at the waist, a deep and stretchy waistband holds the shorts firmly in place while spreading pressure for greater comfort. Women’s Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad The first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It's now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it - thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum. The results are outstanding comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end. Laser-etched logos and a subtle finish ensure the Women's Premio's looks are as premium as their comfort. With obsessive attention to detail, these are Castelli’s most refined cycling shorts yet.
