They are performance tiers, and the chamois steps up with them. Quest is the value-focused everyday line with the SELECT Levitate™ chamois. Attack is the performance mid-tier with the dual-density ELITE Levitate™. PRO is the race-level top tier with triple-density PRO Levitate™ and the most advanced fabrics. Above that, Pi PRO/BLACK is our pinnacle road system. All share the same core construction quality.

Race fits are second-skin and aero for speed, performance fits stay close for training, and classic fits leave a touch more room for comfort. Pick by how aggressively you ride. Our Size & Fit Guide shows the differences.

Bibs remove waistband pressure and keep the chamois centered for long efforts; shorts are easier for quick changes and shorter rides. Many riders prefer bibs for distance. See our Shorts & Bibs Guide and the Chamois Guide.

Men's cycling apparel uses men's-specific cuts through the shoulders, torso, and legs, and men's-shaped chamois pads, for a better fit and ride comfort rather than simply different sizing.
