917 Bib Shorts

£89.00

917

The 917 colourway is inspired by the Gulf Oil racing colourway and, specifically, the Porsche 917 driven by Steve McQueen in the classic 1971 film Le Mans. We've paired a slightly lighter duck egg blue and papaya orange for our tribute on the famous racing livery. Oil splatters and Armco scrape marks not required! We introduced this colourway on some of our cold weather kit and it's proved so popular we decided to launch it on warm weather kit too so you can now wear the iconic Gulf Oil racing look all year round.

KOMRAID bib shorts are designed for the ultimate balance of comfort and performance.

We know that – perhaps more than any other item – bib shorts are a deeply personal piece of kit that can make or break a ride. They are the most important contact point with your bike. Any poor fit, chafing or rubbing will cause distress and irritation. They've got to look great and feel amazing, even after 5 hours in the mountains.

We tried dozens of different shorts and isolated the critical elements that go into a great pair. Through hundreds of hours of testing by us in training for sportive and IRONMAN events we have established a design that we’re happy to make available to you.

Using a nine-panel construction with flat lock stitching, together with a medium-density, anatomically-shaped endurance pad, KOMRAID bib shorts offer ultimate comfort.

We've used three different fabrics that quickly wick sweat away from the skin. In addition, the bib element utilises an open-mesh fabric to encourage ventilation.

The shorts are finished with wide, laser-cut, silicone-impregnated grippers that prevent the shorts riding up uncomfortably at the crotch and reduce pressure on the legs. This improves circulation, lessens fatigue and provides a great aero profile.

We know that judging the sizing of cycling clothing can be tricky. The key measurements of each size are given in the table below. We suggest you compare these measurements against clothing you already have to help you choose the right size for you.

IMPORTANT: Our clothing is ‘race fit’ and is designed to be worn skin tight for maximum aero benefit. If you are at the top end of a size range and/or want a more relaxed fit, we would advise that you go to the next size up.
