Cycling apparel is the last thing that should stand between you and riding your best. Thoughtfully designed pieces like the Cosmic Pro Bibshort can be the difference between focusing exclusively on the ride versus wishing for better fit and functionality.

Mavic works tirelessly to respond to rider feedback through product innovation, and the new Cosmic Ultimate Bibshort is no exception. The shorts are manufactured with a state-of-the-art, made-in-France fabric that’s 20% lighter than standard knit fabric. The material also dries twice as quickly as standard knit for maximum moisture management.

Although these high-performance bibshorts are lightweight and breathable, they don’t sacrifice comfort and durability as a means to that end. Updated for this season, the Cosmic Ultimate Bibshort maintained cyclists’ favorite features while evolving the historically firm, supportive chamois to be more supple and flexible while providing enhanced moisture management and freedom of movement. Though more streamlined, the chamois still does an excellent job of absorbing the unexpected shocks and vibrations that are part of any road ride.

Cyclists will appreciate the bib’s below-the-navel cut when in an aggressive riding position, because it improves ventilation without restricting mobility. Silicon grippers on the lower legs keep your bibshorts from riding up and becoming short shorts.
