Rapha Core Men's Cycling Bib Shorts II
The Rapha Core Bib Shorts II are built around dense-knit performance fabric that delivers targeted support and comfort exactly where you need it, helping you stay focused and fatigue-free on every ride.

The main body fabric is made from a majority of recycled yarns, providing durability and a lower environmental impact without compromising on performance.
Thoughtful details make a big difference on long rides.

Fit Guides:
Pro Team: Garments have a compressive feel for maximum aerodynamic gains and an engaged on-bike fit. Recommend choosing your usual size for a performance body-hugging fit - if between sizes, size up.
Core and Brevet: Regular fit for a range of body types. Recommend choosing your normal size. Less compressive and not as close-fitting as Pro Team products.

Bought to replace my Castelli bib shorts as the stitching around the chamois had failed, couldn’t have wished for better fitting shorts. The memory foam chamois moulds perfectly to the saddle with no chaffing, admittedly I use a chamois cream but have done 50 plus mile rides and the chamois holds its form well. The silicone legs grips do drag a little especially on warm rides but otherwise they grip very well without restriction, the straps are very comfortable and the slightly higher waist means that there is no skin exposed; being tall this is something I struggled with the Castelli shorts. Great value for money and highly recommended

About Rapha
For the glory and the suffering of the road.
Rapha was born in London in 2004 to celebrate the glory and suffering of road cycling. Two decades on, the brand still designs every garment around the same belief: that great kit, beautifully made, transforms the experience of riding.
Rapha garments are designed and tested by the team that wears them. Premium fabrics, considered cuts, a lifetime crash-replacement policy on the Pro Team range — every detail is built around a long relationship with the rider, not a single season.
