Men’s Road & Gravel Cycling Shorts & Bib Shorts

Lock into speed on tarmac and range on gravel. Our men’s road & gravel cycling shorts and bib shorts are engineered to disappear under pressure—breathable, compressive fabrics and advanced chamois support that keep you focused from the first climb to the last mile.

Shorts vs. Bib Shorts — Choose Your Platform

Waist shorts: classic feel and quick on/off with a supportive waistband.

Bib shorts: over‑shoulder straps remove the waistband for long‑haul comfort and a pad that stays centered in the drops.

Unsure which is right for you? Start with our How to Choose Cycling Shorts & Bibs guide.

Road Speed. Gravel Range.

Road: streamlined compression for aero efficiency and moisture management—pair with road & gravel jerseys for heat and pace.

Gravel: durable, stable fabrics with secure pocketing for long, mixed‑surface days—explore the Men’s Gravel collection.

Weather: regulate with base layers, then add jackets & vests or go full wet‑weather when storms roll in.

Chamois Tech That Works

The right pad changes everything. Ours supports sit‑bone pressure zones, moves moisture, and resists friction during high‑cadence efforts. Learn more in the Chamois Guide and Shorts Buying Guide.

Fit & Sizing — Dial It In

Shorts and bibs should fit snug with even compression; straps lie flat without dig; hems stay put when the watts go up. Use our Size & Fit Guide to lock your size.

FAQ

Do I need padded bike shorts?
Yes. A quality chamois reduces pressure and chafing on long rides—whether you choose waist shorts or bibs.

Are bib shorts better for gravel?
Often, yes. Bibs remove waistband pressure and keep the pad perfectly placed for long, rough miles. For tops, see road & gravel jerseys.

What should I wear with them?
Match conditions: base layers for heat control, jackets & vests for wind, and wet‑weather shells for rain days.

Liners vs. padded shorts—what’s the difference?
Liner shorts are lightweight, breathable pieces with a low‑profile chamois designed to be worn under MTB shells; padded road/gravel shorts and bibs are outerwear.
