Men's Cycling Shorts - Men's Bib Shorts

Seat pad and distance

The seat pad is the most important component of any men's cycling shorts. A men's pad is designed for the male riding position and specifically relieves pressure points in the crotch area. The longer your rides, the more important pad density and cushioning become: For local rides of up to two hours, a comfort pad is sufficient; for rides of four hours or more, a multi-layer pad with a high-density core and ventilation channels is worth it.

Straps instead of a waistband

Straps keep the shorts and pad securely in position without a waistband pressing against the stomach or slipping while pedaling. That is why bib shorts are the first choice for sporty rides and long distances.

Compression

Highly elastic compression materials stabilize the muscles, reduce vibrations, and promote blood circulation. This delays fatigue, especially during the final kilometers.

Leg cuffs

Wide, flat leg cuffs with a silicone or laser-cut finish keep the shorts in place without digging in. Narrow elastic bands, on the other hand, press in and leave marks.

Shorts, thermal or tights

Above 15°C, short cycling shorts are ideal. During the transitional season, thermal bib shorts with a brushed inner fabric provide more warmth and can be combined with leg warmers. Below 10°C, long bib tights from our winter cycling shorts collection with windproof inserts are recommended.

The right size

Cycling shorts should fit like a second skin without constricting. Use the size chart as a guide and make sure that the pad sits directly under the sit bones and the straps lie flat.
