The Men's Canyon Active 8" Shorts are built for versatility, whether you're spinning singletrack, breaking a sweat, or heading into town. With the comfort of your favorite athletic shorts and the function of a bike-ready liner, they're made for active days on and off the bike.
The removable padded cycling liner features our minimal chamois, offering just the right amount of support without the bulk of a full-coverage pad. It's designed to eliminate friction between you and the saddle while remaining discreet and comfortable enough to wear off the bike.
Made from ultra-soft, stretchy fabric, the 8" inseam delivers a modern, above-the-knee fit that moves with you whether you're riding, hiking, or lounging. Two hand pockets and a zippered side pocket keep essentials close, and the overall fit is casual enough to wear anywhere, with performance that's ready for the trail.
Pair them with our Canyon Short Sleeve Jersey for a complete trail-to-town kit, or browse more men's mountain bike shorts built for adventure and everyday riding.

Great fitting shorts for a bigger rider
"Great fitting shorts for a bigger rider. I have not tested them on a ride, but the fit and stretch are exactly what I am looking for."
Nice shorts with effective padding but…
"These are really nice but not enough room in front of the chamois for my junk. Gets numb and uncomfortable"
Good quality shorts
"Good quality shorts, lightwieght, minimal padding best suited for shorter rides or city rides"
Too snug liner
"I’m 5’9”, 165 lb with a 33 waist and the liners in these (medium) are more snug than my medium Pearl Izumi cycling shorts."
Nice Confy shorts
"Fits is very comfortable, they stay in place not having to readjust them during the ride."
Canyons
"Tea"
Great for Gravel Biking
"Super comfortable shorts for gravel/road rides. They fit well and the inner (removable) liner is great to use on its own or with another chamois."
great fit
"These pants fit well, and are very comfortable."
Fit Great, Excellent lounge shorts
"Bought these on sale -- fit true to size, and I like that I can cut out/remove the liners. Feel great as a pair of workout or lounging shorts, I'll probably take these on my next vacation! I have another pair similar to these and also cut out the liners -- next I think I'm going to devise a plastic snap or velcro for the liners to be able to attach when I use them for riding. Shorts seem to be great quality and so far I love them. . . my new favorite workout/lounging shorts!"
Awesome!
"Great fit and true to size"
