Rapha Women's Core Bib Shorts II
The Rapha Women's Core Bib Shorts II are the ultimate upgrade for any road cyclist who refuses to compromise on performance or comfort. This best-selling bib has been completely re-engineered with advanced Italian fabrics, delivering light compression that supports tired legs kilometre after kilometre. Inside, the signature Italian Rapha chamois soaks up vibration from rough tarmac, keeping you focused on the next climb rather than the last pothole. A breathable, lightweight stretch upper holds everything securely in place without restricting your chest, so lung-busting efforts feel smoother and more natural.
Rapha pairs that race-ready engine room with laser-cut leg hems and discreet silicone grippers, eliminating bunching or ride-up for a streamlined silhouette. The dense-knit fabric resists transparency, wicks sweat rapidly and delivers a supportive, second-skin fit that flatters a wide range of body shapes. Whether you’re chasing personal bests or cruising café loops, the Rapha Core Bib Shorts II tick every box: performance, durability and all-day comfort in one refined package.

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.

Comfortable, lovely soft fabric, very flattering fit. Pad is good but not my favourite, would be good for rides up to a couple of hours I think. Does not dig in anywhere.

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.
