Rapha
The Rapha Pro Team Powerweave Bib Shorts are advanced race bib shorts engineered for elite performance, combining innovative woven fabric technology with high-compression support and aerodynamic efficiency. Developed as part of Rapha’s Pro Team collection, these Rapha cycling bib shorts use proprietary Powerweave construction to deliver a unique balance of muscle support, breathability, and flexibility for high-intensity riding and racing.
The seamless woven structure integrates varying levels of compression across the legs to stabilise key muscle groups while allowing freedom of movement. This targeted support helps reduce fatigue during sustained efforts, while the breathable construction promotes airflow and temperature regulation. The Pro Team chamois is optimised for racing, providing low-bulk cushioning and pressure relief in aggressive riding positions.

Alba Optics
The ABR1 Pocket Bib Shorts are made for the longest days on the bike. Albion developed them with ultra-distance riders, and they've been ridden to wins and record times on the Tour Divide, the Atlas Mountain Race and the Highland Trail 550. If your rides are measured in hours rather than kilometres, start here.
Two mesh leg pockets and a rear side-entry pocket let you carry a phone, gels or a wind jacket without touching your jersey pockets. That's handy on gravel and bikepacking trips, and just as useful on a long road day. Everything stays reachable while you ride.
The Albion x Elastic Interface chamois is built for long hours in the saddle. The 2025 update adds a higher gauge main fabric for more compression and polypropylene-knit straps that move moisture away faster. A hidden Rear Guard panel above the pad makes the shorts last longer.
An on-bike fit that runs true to size, with a reduced number of panels and flatlock seams. Our studio model is 180 cm (chest 91 cm, inner leg 80 cm) and wears size S. Want to compare them with your current bibs? Try them on in one of our stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam.
