With a high density pad and Anti-Vibration System these Xenon 2 shorts will keep you in the saddle comfortably and for longer. Longer rides mean more chance of needing a pee break so they are designed with a two-zip system at the waist to save you undressing at the roadside. The bib straps connect at the breast so they stay central and there’s a cut away section at the rear to avoid interference with your bra. Nice wide gripper elastic, abrasive resistance fabric on the inside leg and lots of reflective inserts finish off the Xenon 2’s list of attributes.
