“Various high-tech textile technologies converge here: 3D printing and innovative weaving technology that seamlessly integrate different functional zones. The use of recycled content and the waste-free manufacturing of the padding are additional plus points.”
Ultimate Bib Shorts+ Mens
Made for your most demanding days in the saddle, we collaborated with the most advanced fabric makers and the world’s leading seat pad manufacturer to create an award-winning bib that delivers long-lasting compression comfort and support with zero compromises. It’s the perfect choice for big training days on roads and gravel.
The multi-layer 3D printed seat pad delivers long-lasting comfort and support, while functional fabric engineering seamlessly targets compression and breathability in key areas while minimizing chafing or pressure points with reduced seams. It’s no wonder the innovative and feature-rich Ultimate Bib won Europe’s distinguished ISPO Award for design.
