From long-lasting, compressive comfort, to durable fabrics and extra storage space, these bib shorts tick all the key boxes for touring and gravel riding.

Inside the product : Gravel, cycle touring and bikepacking: demanding circumstances that require robust equipment. Frame, wheels, tires, clothing. Every element must be up to par. This is why KIESPANZER ("gravel tank") guarantees the essential resistance to cope with the stresses of cycling away from asphalt. Plus, these shorts have more room to store what you need when you're riding all day and easy access to essential accessories, stored in extremely stretchy, breathable pockets with 3-Mesh panels. The reflective strips guarantee visibility in the early morning, in the evening or at sunset, when you face the last stretch that separates you from the next hotel or campsite stop.

Technology overview

The peculiarities

Fabrics : Type.429 fabric wraps with light compression. It is breathable and aerodynamic. When the dirt road becomes little more than a path and the vegetation becomes increasingly dense, the side panels protect from abrasion, thanks to the Bunny Hop fabric, a resistant, bi-elastic and compact orthogonal fabric, composed of equal parts polyamide and elastane.

Construction : The C2 AEPD regularFit cut is inherited from Assos performance race models, but features a less aggressive design and standard leg length. Perfect for maximum comfort when pedaling and the right freedom of movement when you're not in the saddle.

Engineering

  • X-frame : A-shaped structure inherited from the straps of the Mille GTS model, which prevents the shorts from sagging in the lumbar area and guarantees a secure fit that stabilizes the seat pad and the main panel.
  • Silicone Leg Grippers : A more robust version of elastic, suitable for gravel, which adheres to the thighs thanks to light silicone applications.
  • Four Pocket System : Two compartment pockets at thigh height to store essential accessories, two discreet and secure rear pockets for small items. The pullers, developed to meet cyclists' requests, facilitate access to the pockets.
  • goldenGate : Stitching that secures the pad at the front and back, but allows the pad to delicately follow the movements of your body.
  • KraterCooler : Holes on the surface of the pad that circulate the air inside, ensuring the passage of fresh air on the hottest summer days.
  • 3D Waffle : A patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
