For the 2023 season, we completely updated our best-selling Solid bib shorts. Not only did we add a new colourway, but we checked and changed a lot of details. It has an updated Elastic Interface chamois for more comfort over longer rides, flatlock stitching all around and we used recycled materials where possible.
What stayed the same is the amazing fit of this classic and the subtle styling. It's comfy without being too loose and adds compression without constraining you. Everyone who has ridden in these will confirm that this is a bib to come back to.

Pas Normal Studios
The bib shorts from the Mechanism collection from Pas Normal Studios have a performance-oriented fit in combination with the highest quality fabrics and chamois.
This product has also undergone a number of upgrades compared to last year's edition. For example, the gripper is made of a refined material that subtly prevents the pants from creeping up. The elastic suspenders have also been made softer and you will hardly notice that they are around your shoulders. The soft polyester fabrics are wonderfully soft around your legs and support your muscles well so that you can perform optimally on the bike and the chamois is of an incredibly high level.
In terms of style, we think the Mechanism bib is one of the most beautiful available. The checkered pattern gives a very refined look and the quality radiates from the cycling shorts. The Mechanism logo is on the back of the bib shorts and on the leg is the PNS logo in subtle black. Combine the bib with a cycling jersey from the Mechanism collection for the ultimate smart look.
