Victory.

This summer’s Tour may have been dominated by one formidable rider in yellow, but a few others earned the right to wear it for a succession of short—but glorious—bouts. To commemorate the crashes, breakaways, and stunning teamwork on display in the name of yellow this year, we teamed up with the expert craftsmen at Castelli to create the Castelli Leader Free Aero Bib Short. Featuring the sharp attention to detail and impeccable fit that has defined Castelli kit for decades, the Leader is destined to become a fixture in your training rotation.


A combination of Vortex and Forza fabrics along the main body of the short work together to achieve the contoured fit that characterizes top-end Castelli kit. Dimpled Vortex panels on the outer thighs improve aerodynamic efficiency, while Forza’s 38% Lycra content on the inner thighs provides support and limits muscle vibrations for less fatigue over time. Both are adept at wicking moisture away from your skin, of course, and the short’s next-to-skin fit further complements the fabrics’ moisture-wicking abilities. Castelli’s Doppio V waistband construction makes an appearance along the front of the short, its smoothing construction aiming to keep your midsection comfortable as you spend hours stretched out in the saddle.


Castelli makes no sacrifices with the Free Aero and includes its top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air chamois to give you the best balance of lightness and comfort possible for long days in the mountains or short spins with your ride crew. Receiving five rounds of modifications before it achieved the standards Castelli had set for it, the Progetto X2 features strategically arranged cushioning on a breathable, flexible insert designed to mirror your body movements in the saddle while lending support and relief to key areas.


On top, airy, expertly-cut Carré mesh bib straps lie flat at all times across your body, while wide, mesh-like leg grippers hold each leg in place with admirable security considering the fabric's lightness. Reflective accents on the back of the short make a welcome finishing touch for the Leader, adding a touch of extra visibility in case you find yourself unable to resist extending your ride to sunset.
