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.

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 Comp: a feature-packed shell made from a combination of lightweight, extremely durable woven fabrics and outfitted with a number of amenities including six external pockets, a detachable web belt, and zip-open side venting. Pair it with your favorite padded liner or fitted short, and you've got the ultimate off-road combination.

Just as stylish on the trail as off, the comfort fit Rhythm Short features a detachable, micro-mesh liner with Bontrager's Race inForm chamois. Articulated to conform to your body and move with, rather than against you, the Race chamois has multi-density padding that's strategically positioned to ease pressure points and eliminate discomfort. On the outside, the Rhythm includes two external web belt waistband adjusters, a zippered storage pocket, and velcro-closure cell phone pocket. The trail is calling. And Rhythm has the answer.

Combining the casual styling of a street short with the performance advantages of a cycling short, the Satellite is great for recreational riders who want the improved comfort of a cycling short without the tight-fitting, 'race' look of traditional lycra shorts.

inForm Chamois

inForm Chamois

There are a lot of charts and graphs, zeros and ones, and spreadsheets behind the inForm line of chamois. Why? Because accurately identifying pressure points on real subjects has enabled us to design a chamois with just the right amount of support in precisely the right places. We call that process "pressure mapping science and technology." Your butt will just say "Ahhhhh."
