On long rides, it’s the shorts that make or break the day, not the bike. The Riding Collection bib shorts are made from a polyamide-Lycra blend, fit snugly without pinching, and weigh 170 grams. The micro-perforated straps sit flat on the shoulders and let moisture pass through instead of trapping it. The leg grippers stay in place without squeezing—something you’ll notice after the second hour. The cut is designed for sporty riding positions, i.e., for a bike you lean forward on. In black, sizes XS to XL. A piece of clothing you ideally don’t have to think about.
