Padded bike shorts are a must for any rider spending prolonged time in the saddle. Even a perfectly fitted bike seat isn’t always enough to keep you comfortable on rides over 30km, but a good pair of padded shorts can. Shorts, like Endura’s proSL line, are a multi-part construction of lycra, polyamide and open-cell foam, designed to be antibacterial, stretchable, allowing for rapid moisture wicking, and improving air circulation. The goal is to keep you as comfortable as possible at any exertion level.
Endura proSL bibshorts feature Endura’s new pad fit program. The shorts are available in three pad sizes, five fit sizes, and two lengths, offering a better fitting short for all riders. As you saw in our recent blog on road bike saddle sizing, choosing the correct sized equipment goes beyond personal preference- ensuring correct fit has comfort, power, and efficiency benefits.
Choose the pad width that best matches the geometry of your pelvis to reduce pressure peaks, the key to improved comfort.
-Endura Clothing
Endura’s 700 series pad (as used in the FS260-Pro SL Bibshort) has been developed through scientific testing in collaboration with gebioMized® and rider feedback from Movistar Team.
Three pad width options are offered to ensure the closest match to pelvic geometry and riding style. The pad width is determined by matching sit bone measurement and saddle width to a simple measurement chart or for the most accurate results by being measured using the Endura-gebioMized® PadFit ™ System (patent pending), which goes far beyond other systems by dynamically mapping pressure and matching the short pad for the ultimate all day comfort and fit.
An approximate guide to corresponding saddle widths
Market leading product innovations such as the Pro SL Bibshort, scientifically developed in conjunction with bike fit experts, supported by a patent pending fit system and put through its paces by Movistar Team riders demonstrates Endura’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of comfort and performance throughout this collection.
