Choosing your men's cycling shorts: a question of practice

For mountain bikers - shockproof cycling shorts

Choosing your cycling shorts when you are mountain biking means taking into account both different types of terrain, sometimes very uneven, But also particular postures to this practice. On an ATV, the body is less inclined compared to road biking. The pressure is therefore greater on the rear part of the saddle. In these conditions, you might as well say that you need a cycling shorts capable of enduring: resist shock, tension and friction.

So the first thing to look at closely is the quality and robustness of the seat insert. In all terrain, protection and freedom of movement are essential. On our shorts GREAT MARATHON, for this we have selected the MTB Performance skin. It is a sure bet in the world of MTB cycling shorts. We also placed a thigh grip, in order to properly stabilize the shorts and avoid chafing. Same insert for the shorts MARATHON, designed with side and back pockets, to carry as many things as possible on your long raids.

For gravel lovers - a high resistance shorts

Discipline in vogue, the gravel is inspired by bothmountain bike universe and road bike world. The need of comfort and stability on the saddle is therefore there, especially if you go out for long distances. Don't improvise. The imperatives for choosing your gravel cycling shorts: a high resistance support, flexibility, comfort and breathability.

Yes, all at the same time. As on our model GRAN TETRIS. An innovative cycling shorts equipped with theGravel Performance insert which improves blood circulation and helps reduce pressure and numbness. Like the MTB shorts, this model does not move when pedaling, thanks to the insertion of a silicone band at the thigh.

If you are going for long distances, you can opt for our bib shorts TETRIS. Also equipped with the Gravel Performance skin, it has side and back pockets to take with you as many useful things as possible.
