FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for long-distance riding?

Yes, they are designed to provide consistent support for both shorter spins and longer, steady-paced miles.

Can I machine wash these bibs?

Yes, wash them at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners.

What is the purpose of the central cut-out in the bibs?

The central cut-out is designed to increase breathability and airflow in the upper chest and back area.

Do I need to wear underwear with these bib shorts?

No, cycling shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin to prevent chafing and maximize moisture-wicking.

How do the laser-cut leg grippers work?

They use a soft silicone finish to adhere to the skin, keeping the legs of the shorts firmly in place throughout your ride.

What weather conditions are best for this product?

These shorts are optimized for mild to warm riding conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shorts shifting during a ride

Ensure the leg grippers are in direct contact with your skin and not over top of leg warmers or socks. Check that the size is correct for your body measurements.

Chafing occurs during long rides

Apply a chamois cream specifically formulated for cycling to reduce friction between the skin and the pad.

Bib straps feeling too tight

Ensure you are standing in a neutral, upright position when adjusting the straps. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size according to the Rapha size chart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your bib shorts, follow these guidelines:

Fit: The shorts should fit snugly against the skin. Ensure the chamois is positioned correctly before heading out.
Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric and the silicone grippers.
Drying: Air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the lycra and the integrity of the chamois foam.
Storage: Store flat or folded; avoid hanging the shorts by the straps for extended periods as this may cause them to stretch prematurely.
