The Castelli Free Aero RC Cycling Bib Shorts represent the latest evolution of Castelli’s perennial best-seller, renowned for its versatile performance. Designed for top-tier racing and crafted with dyed fabrics for vibrant colour, these bib shorts seamlessly blend luxury with speed, centered around Castelli’s premier seat pad, the Progetto X² Air seamless.
Featuring dual-density foam and gel inserts strategically placed to absorb vibrations and enhance ride quality, along with a supple upper layer that moves harmoniously with the skin, this pad ensures exceptional long-distance comfort.
With half the usual number of panels in the shorts, seams are minimised, enhancing wearability. The minimalist mesh bib straps offer breathability with an open weave and slim coverage, maximising airflow. Additionally, a handy mesh pocket at the centre back provides storage for nutrition and essentials.
After rigorous testing and 28 prototypes, Castelli introduces a raw-cut leg ending that stays securely in place without grippers, marking their most comfortable design yet. The forgiving, raw-cut waist and the utilisation of lightweight, stretchy Forza 2 fabric offer both support and compression for the muscles. Reflective piping along the back of the legs enhances visibility.
Combining cutting-edge performance with unparalleled comfort, the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts stand as one of Castelli’s most impressive offerings yet.
