Rapha Core Bib Shorts - Black

The primary benefit is the balance of dependable comfort, supportive performance, and excellent everyday value, making them ideal for regular riding.

The Core Bib Shorts feature a tried and tested single-density chamois pad, which offers consistent comfort. More advanced models may utilize multi-density pads for varied support and cushioning during different types of rides or longer durations.

While comfortable for regular riding and longer steady miles, the single-density chamois may not provide sufficient cushioning for extremely long or demanding events where maximum comfort and support are critical.

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing.

They are designed for everyday riding in mild to warm conditions.

The bib shorts feature laser-cut leg grippers with a soft silicone finish, designed to hold the shorts in place securely without causing constriction or discomfort.

Adjust the positioning of the straps over your shoulders. Ensure the shorts fit correctly overall; the straps should provide gentle tension without restricting movement.

The single-density chamois is optimized for everyday comfort. For rides longer than 3-4 hours or those with more aggressive riding positions, consider a bib short with a multi-density pad. Ensure the shorts are the correct size.

Ensure the leg grippers are positioned correctly on the thigh and that your skin is clean and dry. If the issue persists, the fit may not be ideal for your leg shape.

The flatlock seams are designed to minimize irritation. If you experience persistent chafing, ensure the shorts are the correct size and consider applying chamois cream to sensitive areas.
