For athletes with the highest standards in apparel, the C7 Race Bib Short+ delivers unmatched support and performance. Built from the ground up by mating Gore Wear's fabric expertise with the World Tour experience of professional rider Fabian Cancellara, these shorts are designed for no-nonsense performance with a compressive race fit. The main fabric is an abrasion-resistant 4-way stretch material, meaning the short can move with the rider in all situations while keeping the muscles well-supported.

Gore claims this design results in a chamois that stays put all the time, no matter how much you move around on the saddle.

Being that the C7 Race Bib Short+ is specifically designed with racing in mind, Gore employs their low-profile Expert Race seat insert for support at the precise points where bone meets saddle. The seat pad is attached to the rest of the shorts with minimal stitching, using advanced sewing technology that decreases the risk of irritation or ch...
