Sportful Neo Cycling Cycling Bib Shorts

Great value bib shorts from Sportful, the Neo Bib Shorts pack a mighty performance punch at this price point with a Comfort Pro seat pad and compression fabrics making them perfect for fast-paced training, racing and sportives.

Using their vast experience in designing and producing high-end racing products, Sportful have created the Neo Bib Shorts, a short designed for keen amateur riders who want incredible performance but at a great price.

The shorts are made with Elast-X fabric, a top-quality material which compresses your muscles to encourage blood flow. This works to speed up oxygen delivery to the muscles and flushing out waste as you put in lung-busting efforts. On the inner thighs, a breathable but highly wear-resistant fabric boosts both comfort and durability. Lastly, a mesh bib keeps air circulating and sweat off the skin for the perfect body temperature regulation. 

The Comfort Pro seat pad used for the Neo Bib Shorts is more commonly found in Sportful's higher priced race shorts, but here adds to the incredible value and performance on offer. It's now softer and more elastic than ever, offering a surprising level of comfort with minimal bulk.  The infinitely variable thickness of support maximises comfort, placing thicker cushioning where it's needed most.  A redesigned shape and seamless construction improve flexibility so the pad moves with the body, working to eliminate chafing and a new microfiber fabric cover is incredibly soft and smooth against the skin.  With an antibacterial surface treatment, the pad ensures freshness from first pedal stroke to last.

About the Sportful brand

The Sportful story began in 1946, when the Cremonese family opened a knitwear factory named Manifattura Valcismon. Over the years, production evolved toward the manufacture of high-quality underwear. The real turning point came in 1972, when Dr. Giordano Cremonese, who had taken over the management of the business from his parents, wanted to participate in the newly established Marcialonga cross-country ski race but did not have appropriate clothing. He decided to use the family business to produce the necessary apparel and what had begun as a personal need grew into an unprecedented success. This was the beginning of the Sportful brand. In 1985, seeing the great demand for technical cycling apparel and encouraged by the company's remarkable success in cross-country skiing, Sportful embarked on a new adventure - Cycling. It wasn’t long before they were involved at the highest level, equipping teams such as Alfa Lum, Ariostea and Mapei, the latter dominating the classics throughout the 90s. Some of their greatest achievements came when the Italian national team used Sportful apparel, with World Championship victories for Bettini, Cipollini and Ballan. The success continued with their Saxo Bank partnership, victories in all three grand tours, and multiple classics wins from the likes of Cancellara ,Contador and Sagan. Working with pro team athletes Sportful strives to make the best possible performance apparel for all conditions. Sportful is currently the official technical clothing partner Trek Segafredo and Drops Women's cycling team.
