What makes bike shorts for trail and enduro special?

Bike shorts for trail and enduro stand out for their short, loose outer cut over separate inner shorts with a chamois pad – this combination lets you wear knee pads under the shorts without them being squeezed by tight fabric.

More robust, often reinforced materials on the seat and thighs withstand contact with branches, stones and occasional crashes better than the thinner fabrics of classic cycling shorts. An adjustable waistband allows individual adjustment to different body shapes and the more powerful movements on technical terrain.

Side pockets on many models offer extra storage space for small items that would not fit in the close-fitting inner shorts alone.

Tip: Wash the inner shorts with the chamois pad separately and change them regularly, even if the outer bike shorts themselves need cleaning less often.
