Stealthy, sleek, comfortable and a women’s-specific cut: the Women’s Aksium Bibshort checks all the cycling boxes and then some. That versatility is key for today’s cyclists because no two rides—and no two riders—are exactly alike. Unique terrain and environmental conditions abound, whether you’re out for a short spin or a long haul. Bikes can bring us anywhere, and so can the Aksium Bibshorts.

The multi-layer Ergo Essential W chamois forms a supple layer for maximum saddle cushioning and support. Two different densities and progressive cushioning ease the pain of long days in the saddle, while maintaining a sleek profile.

Strategic minimalism and low-profile features are essential for cycling bibshorts, however comfort can’t be compromised. The Aksium Bibshort’s feature stretchy over-the-shoulder straps that balance a snug fit with freedom of movement. The bib straps have an ergonomic construction made specifically for women, including a specially patterned front strap that accommodates different bust sizes.

A 4-Way stretch fabric, which is utilized everywhere but the insert, molds effortlessly to the body, and reacts to quick twitches and more subtle changes in form and direction. The legs feature a raw-cut construction with silicon grippers for a snug but lightweight, breathable feel and fit.
