The perfect choice for competitions and hard training rides.
Engineered with our unique central torso architecture which ensures the
chamois stays in the perfect position, no matter the rider’s movements.
The pre-formed Expert Race seat pad provides top-notch comfort through
the use of open-cell foams paired with a very dense, pressure resistant
foam at the precise point where the bones meet the saddle in the
extended racing position. Reduced seams and increased stretch comfort,
so you can put in the ultimate performance. Lightweight, aerodynamic and
compact, for optimal muscle support without limiting your range of
motion.

In this concept, the shorts are held in place across the middle of the body to maximize freedom of movement. In the cycling position, the center of the body is mainly in a fixed state, but dynamic racing can also lead to dynamic movement.
Sharp corners, punchy attacks or grabbing a feedbag while traveling at 40 kph — in these situations the body should be able to move freely while the shorts and seat pad remain firmly in place to avoid chafing. Our Central Torso Architecture anchors the short securely at the thigh, lower back and shoulders to do just that.
Construction:
GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup Technology
Anatomically designed, the revolutionary 3D curvature to the seat
pad matches the body form perfectly, providing the ultimate fit, flex
and comfortDesign, shape and padding is based on anthropometric data, to
protect against all major pressure points and achieve maximum comfortCentral channel to improve blood flow and reducing pressure and numbness
Materials:
Multiple density structure makes the pad more comfortable, elastic and breathable:
1st layer made of highly breathable 80kg/m³ density open cell foams
on the cover sheet with increased air permeability and breathability2nd layer made of hybrid cell system inserts of 200kg/m³ density located in the area of the sit bones
3rd layer made of 80kg/m³ density foam in the main seat insert
Bacteriostatic Eco surface, 100% recycled polyamide and polyester for sustainable softness and performance
The combination of a brushed polyamide and light polyester weave
reduces the contact surface area, the channel structure wicks away sweat
quickly and expels moisture instantly, leaving your skin cool and dry
Fit
Form Fit
Our closest fit, designed to be worn tight to the body, to enhance moisture management, thermal efficiency or aerodynamics. These garments are worn next-to-skin or over tight fitting base layers. These items may use compacting fabrics to provide muscle support, look for this in the product description.
