Because every ride is a race.

You could probably guess that the Xenon Race Bib Tight Shorts — as part of Gore Bike Wear's top-end bib collection — are built from technical materials and feature a handful of subtle details to keep you comfortable when you’re on the rivet. You’ll have to keep guessing about the composition of the proprietary fabrics, but when you get the shorts out on the road, your thoughts will likely shift to the comfort of the Xenon Man chamois and the slightly compressive fit.


The Xenon Race bibs are constructed from a blend of lightweight fabrics that's quite technical. We can’t tell you the exact proportions or the secret additives, but what we do know about this closely-guarded synthetic blend is that it’s optimized for moisture management and durability. In other words, it works hard to pull moisture away from your skin, and transports it to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate.


As you’d expect with competition-level shorts, the material is slightly compressive, although it’s not a true compression piece. In other words, they should feel very snug when you put them on, since that means they’re holding your muscles in place, reducing the damaging effects of road vibration and ensuring that you’ll be more comfortable for longer. And it doesn’t stop there, as Gore oriented the seams of the Xenon bibs so that they’ll move with you, instead of chafing.


The upper portion of the Xenon bibs is built from mesh, which enhances airflow to keep you from overheating. The inseam is slightly longer on these than some of Gore’s other bibs — for maximum coverage. And if your ride ends up being longer than expected, the reflective print on the legs will make you more visible to motorists.


Shorts this technical deserve an insert to match, and Gore wisely employed its Xenon Man chamois for this purpose. Through the use of multiple densities of foam, the Xenon chamois protects your sensitive tissues, and keeps blood flowing, thereby minimizing the occurrence of numbness. Synthetic materials were chosen both for their stretch and their moisture management. That means you’ll stay dry, which means more comfort and less irritation. The stretchy qualities of the insert allows it to move with you throughout the myriad cycling motions, both seated and standing, thereby reducing chaffing to an absolute minimum.


The Gore Bike Wear Xenon Race Bib Tight Shorts - Men's are available in five sizes, from Small to XX-Large, and in the color Black/red.
