Cycling bib tights

Cycling shorts

Cycling shorts are an essential piece of a cyclist's kit, offering comfort, performance, and protection. Designed to support you on your long or intense cycling rides, cycling shorts ensure excellent freedom of movement while providing support and ventilation tailored to the cyclist's needs.

The advantages of cycling shorts

  • Optimal comfort: The main benefit of cycling shorts is their comfort. Made with soft, stretchy materials, they conform perfectly to your body shape, reducing friction and irritation, especially during long rides. Seams are often minimized to avoid discomfort.
  • Cushioning and Support: Most bib shorts are equipped with ergonomic pads, called chamois , which provide excellent cushioning. These pads are strategically placed to protect the rider's sensitive areas and reduce pain related to pressure on the saddle.
  • Breathability: Modern cycling shorts are made with technical, breathable fabrics that allow for good sweat management. These materials help prevent excessive moisture and heat, ensuring better performance during exercise.
  • Ergonomic fit and design: Thanks to their snug fit, these cycling shorts don't restrict movement, allowing you to pedal without restriction. Their aerodynamic design minimizes air resistance, which is a plus for cyclists looking for performance.
  • Versatility: Bib shorts can be used in all seasons. Summer models are lightweight and breathable, while winter or mid-season shorts are made with insulating materials that retain warmth without compromising mobility.

Why choose cycling shorts?

Cycling shorts are essential for any bike ride, as they offer unparalleled comfort. Their main function is to reduce pain associated with pressure on the saddle during hours of exertion. The cushioning provided by the protective pad is particularly beneficial during long rides.

Additionally, the aerodynamic cut and technical materials used in the construction of the bib shorts not only reduce friction but also keep the rider comfortable and dry, even in the hottest conditions. They are also designed to be durable and long-lasting, withstanding the rigors of daily training.

How to choose your cycling shorts?

The choice of cycling shorts depends on several factors, including the season, the length of your rides, and your comfort preferences. If you mainly cycle in warm weather, opt for lightweight and breathable summer shorts. If you're a winter cyclist, a long, insulated model will provide the necessary protection against the cold.

Bib shorts are a very popular option because they offer better support and increased comfort, especially on long rides. Also, choose a model with a quality chamois, designed to absorb shock and provide optimal support. For more demanding cyclists, racing bib shorts, which are tighter and more aerodynamic, are ideal for maximizing performance.

Regardless of the type of cycling shorts you choose, it's important to choose the right size to avoid any discomfort or irritation during your training or competition. Discover our selection of cycling shorts and choose the model that best suits your needs.
