TDF GRAND DÉPART LILLE - BIB SHORTS

Designed to offer superior performance and comfort, these cycling shorts are perfect for riders seeking excellent performance without compromising on style. Part of the collection dedicated to Lille, the city chosen for the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, these shorts combine functionality with a unique design, perfect for any two-wheeled adventure.

Made from medium-compression fabric, they provide the perfect balance between muscle support and freedom of movement. The braces, crafted from super-elastic fabric, adapt perfectly to the body, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout the ride. The elastic leg grippers with internal grip keep the shorts firmly in place, preventing any unwanted shifting. Equipped with a GITevo chamois, these shorts are ideal for medium-distance rides, offering maximum comfort thanks to its ability to absorb vibrations and reduce pressure in sensitive areas. Reflective details on the back enhance visibility during nighttime rides, ensuring safety in all conditions.

The collection's design reflects the colors of France with a distinctive touch: blue, red, and white details blend harmoniously, drawing inspiration not only from the national flag but also from LOSC Lille, the local football team known as Les Dogues. And for a playful touch? The shorts feature a small, fun, and unmistakable detail: a fries icon, a tribute to the region's culinary tradition. Invented right here in northern France, these *frites* are more than just a beloved dish—they are a true cultural symbol.

CHAMOIS TECHNOLOGY

Our technologies are crucial to the performance of our garments, and we have developed proprietary chamois brands to highlight the quality and feature levels of differently specced shorts. All the different Santini paddings are designed by us and are handmade in Italy using our specialist manufacturing techniques. We stitch the special curves and depressions on the internal part of the chamois from the inside, so that there are no seams in contact with the skin.

C3

C3 is an endurance high performance chamois, ideal for long hours in the saddle. The C3 chamois is constructed by using an innovative process called Carving. This special technique allows the pad maximum shock protection, incredible lightness, breathability, and perfect fit because it adheres better to the body allowing freedom of movement. The Rooted Gel located in the ischium (sit bones) area allows for neutralization of vibration when the pad is under stress.

GITevo

The technological evolution of the original bestseller GIT chamois with Twist Gel core, the silicone gel that absorbs shocksteadily and gradually. GITevo is even more performing because it is constructed with a Carving process that is able to create thicknesses without seams and sticking, reducing the weight and increasing the softness of the padding. The top layer with antibacterial microfiber and depressions on the surface, offers excellent fit and freedom of movement by protecting from chafing and irritation.

Foam Bio

FoamBio is an innovative endurance seat pad with an eco-friendly soul. Made from a special bio-foam derived from vegetable polyols, it is constructed using EvoLogic carving technology, which reduces foam waste by 80% compared to traditional carving techniques. This allows for smoother transitions between foams, increased saddle stability, seamless construction, minimized weight, and excellent air permeability. The chamois top layer is finished with an anti-bacterial microfiber made of 88% recycled polyester, which remains soft and breathable in contact with the skin. The pad offers different levels of shock absorption, with higher absorption on the ischiatic bones, and features refined edges for a zero-friction experience. It is ideal for long-distance rides of up to 5 hours.

EMAX

eMAX is the everyday chamois perfect for medium distances and indoor activities. eMAX is the evolution of our long running Coolmax padding but better, thanks to the improved ergonomic construction. The anatomical shape and the perforated foam layer with varying densities make this pad ideal for all types of indoor activities and for medium distances. Minimal and essential design.
