Shorts/Bottoms

For hot days, turbo training and everyday commutes Quality cycling shorts that complement any ride. No straps provides cooling comfort on hot days and during intense training sessions, as well as convenience when changing quickly. Soft waist elastic keeps the shorts comfortably secure whether paired with your favourite jersey or worn under trousers or loose shorts during longer commutes. The main panels use a dense-knit fabric for support and modesty and laser-cut leg grippers lined with soft silicone for a close, comfortable fit. Flatlock seams are positioned carefully throughout to hold the shorts in place without chafing. The shorts’ design is purposefully understated, with subtle tonal branding. As with everything in the Rapha Core collection, these shorts are nothing more and nothing less than the basics, perfectly crafted. For every rider, wherever they ride.

The main panels use a dense-knit fabric for modesty, even distribution of stretch, while laser-cut leg grippers lined with soft silicone provide a comfortable and flattering fit. The grippers also prevent the shorts from bunching, nipping or moving out of position. Flatlock seams are positioned carefully for a stable fit and feel, and the shorts have subtle tonal Rapha logos.

Developed for all-round riding, the Women’s Classic Bib Shorts offer exceptional performance and comfort in a wide range of riding conditions. And now updated to incorporate recycled materials, our most comfortable bibs also have a lower impact. The shorts are cut from a high-stretch, matt fabric that is breathable and wicks sweat efficiently. The shorts use a chamois pad designed specifically for women and have a panelled construction to guarantee a superb fit. Flatlock stitching throughout means they won’t chafe, no matter how long or hard you ride. The improved design eliminates zips on the upper section and instead features a scooped neckline that makes taking the shorts on and off a lot easier. The soft hem grippers that secure the shorts in place are now wider to reduce compression. Designed to be worn with the Medium Support Bra or the Light Support Bra, the back of the shorts also has a large cutaway section for maximum breathability.
