Shorts & Bibs

Guided by a Fit First design approach that ensures superior on-bike comfort, Bontrager bibs and shorts feature our exclusive inForm chamois—chamois that are scientifically formulated using pressure mapping data to be the most technically advanced and ergonomically accurate chamois in the industry. It's a new level of comfort, ready for a new level of riding.

Bibs

For riders who want the best there is, our RXXXL Bib Short combines European construction, premium Profila fabrics, and our best inForm chamois to create a high-tech, supremely comfortable bib that represents the pinnacle of performance.

Bontrager's RXL Bib Short is luxury performance. Advanced construction, Profila technical fabrics, and a multi-density, pre-shaped inForm chamois help make the RXL Bib Short fit and perform with ergonomic precision.

You've been there. Tights and knicker are too warm for the ride; summer-weight shorts too airy, too cold, even with leg warmers. Enter the Bontrager Race Thermal Bib Short, your new best friend for cooler weather riding. The added insulation of the soft, fleecy interior helps take the nip out of the air and keep your quads warm, while the inForm Race Chamois gives the ergonomic support and cushioning you need for all-day comfort. It's the perfect solution for those challenging, in-between temperatures.

The perfect companion to our Retro Racing Jersey, Bontrager's Replica Bib was designed for riders seeking a performance-level bottom and exceptional value. An ergonomically shaped, multi-density inForm chamois and full Lycra U-Panel design give this bib short the comfort and durability that serious cyclists demand.

The Race Bib Short packs tremendous value into a very attractive, performance-ready package. Constructed from strategically positioned compressive and breathable Profila fabrics, the Race Bib Short features our pre-shaped, multi-density inForm Race chamois, clean cut compression band leg grippers, and reflective accents for improved low-light visibility.

An entry-level cycling short that's perfect for casual and low-mileage riders, Bontrager's Solstice Bib Short is focused on the essentials. Ergonomic paneling provides a body-hugging fit that won't restrict mobility, while a pre-shaped inForm chamois delivers moisture-wicking, friction-fighting comfort.

Baggy

Serious off-road riders need a serious cycling short; one that's tough enough to stand up to a full day of trail abuse. That's the Rhythm Elite: a feature-packed baggy short made from a combination of lightweight, extremely durable woven fabrics and outfitted with a number of amenities including five external pockets, an easy-adjust waist, and a detachable mesh liner with 2-way stretch inForm chamois.

Just as stylish on the trail as off, the Rhythm Short features a detachable mesh liner with ergonomically shaped inForm chamois, easy-adjust waist, double-snap front, zippered front thigh mesh vents, and plenty of storage options, thanks to its six pockets. The trail is calling. And Rhythm has the answer.

Combining the casual styling of a traditional athletic short with the performance advantages of a true cycling short, Bontrager's Baggy Short is great for riders who want the improved comfort of a cycling short without the tight-fitting, 'race' look of traditional lycra shorts.

How to measure your size

Use a cloth measuring tape to measure your body. All measurements should be taken while standing up straight with feet shoulder width apart. Take measurements over the type of undergarment you would wear under the clothing.

1 CHEST/BUST

Measure around the fullest part of your chest under your armpits with your arms relaxed at sides. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the ground.

2 WAIST

Measure around the natural waist, which falls at the natural curve of the body--the indentation between the hips and the ribcage. The measuring tape should be close to the body but not snug.

3 HIPS

Wrap measuring tape around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the ground.
