During the past 2 years, we conducted an in-depth study into the improvement of the most critical part of a cycling outfit: the shorts.

In this study, we examined the construction of a wide range of shorts, with a strong focus on the improvement of comfort, performance and looks.

The basic premise used in this study was a number of problems.

• Carbon bicycles, wheels, seats and shoes keep getting lighter and stiffer; the human body, however, remains soft and therefore has to tolerate a lot of blows. How can we support the body better?
   
• The leg grippers, which press on the skin, often make cyclists (including trained athletes) look like they have gained a few kilos, especially female cyclists. How can we improve the fit and the look?
   

The result: Epic Women's Bib Shorts .
 

Instead of leg grippers, we use a new material with stages of compression. This makes leg grippers to keep everything in place redundant. Problem solved.

The Epic Vapor pads we use integrate many new, exclusive technologies. But the way the pad is applied is even more important. Instead of being sewn into the shorts, the pad is pressed onto the textile panel and then sewn in. This means no extra material, so less mass. The cycling shorts seamlessly follow the contours of the body. Problem solved.

We spared no costs or effort in the development of the best shorts in the world. The BioRacer Epic Women's Shorts reconfigure the way in which shorts are constructed and set a new standard for presentation, power output and fit.
