Castelli Soudal/Quick Step Free Aero Race S Bibshort - Men's Belgian Blue, XXL

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These bibs are all about efficiency and comfort working together rather than trading off against each other. The Forza2 fabric delivers a genuinely compressive aero fit that you feel at speed, and the Progetto X2 Air chamois holds up through the back half of a long ride without any of the pressure point issues that catch up with lesser pads on big days. The mesh bib straps are so light they disappear the moment you clip in."The Castelli Soudal Quick Step Free Aero Race S Bibshort is built for the riders who refuse to separate speed from endurance. Forza2 Stretch fabric wraps the legs in a compressive, aerodynamic fit engineered to reduce CdA by 3%, a measurable advantage that compounds over long efforts and high-speed racing alike. Every watt pushed into the pedals goes further, whether the goal is a sprint finish or the final climb of an all-day ride. The Progetto X2 Air Seamless chamois is where the comfort story comes together. Multi-density foam and a seamless construction eliminate the pressure points and irritation that accumulate into real discomfort on endurance rides, producing a pad that performs as well in the final hour as the first. Lightweight mesh bib straps reduce weight and maximize ventilation across the torso on warm-weather efforts, and silicone leg grippers hold the short in position through varied terrain without binding or restricting movement. A back pocket adds storage for essentials or race-day gear, and UPF 50+ protection shields against sun exposure on long days in the open. At 217g, the Free Aero Race S Bibshort brings a complete race and endurance specification to a package that never reminds you it is there.
