Men's Attack Shorts
Men's Attack Shorts
Named "Best Overall Cycling Shorts" by Bicycling.com
Built for riders who demand performance without over-complication, the Men's Attack Shorts deliver the right balance of comfort, compression, and streamlined design. Whether you're training for your first century or chasing weekend PRs, these shorts offer everything you need and nothing you don't.
Made from high-stretch, moisture-wicking fabric, these shorts support your muscles with just the right amount of compression while keeping you cool and dry through hard efforts and long climbs. A wide waistband provides a secure, stay-put fit without digging in, and the raw-edge leg openings with silicone grippers keep the shorts locked in place without bunching or pinching.
At the core is our updated ELITE Levitate™ Chamois, designed with dual-density foam for friction-fighting support and long-mile comfort. It's the same advanced chamois used in our bibs, just without the straps.
Pair with a men's road cycling jersey, such as our Men's Attack Jersey, for a streamlined, high-output kit, or explore more men's cycling shorts built for every type of rider.
