Durable Empire 11in Bike Short with extended coverage and vented airflow
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I recommend these for riders who want extra coverage and toughness for enduro or bike park days. The longer cut stays comfortable on descents, the vents help more than you’d expect, and the fabric holds up to repeated abuse."
We designed the Empire 11in Bike Short for riders who spend their days pushing speed, lines, and limits. Built for enduro trails and lift-served terrain, this short prioritizes durability, coverage, and stability when riding gets demanding.
The double-weave fabric blends recycled nylon and spandex in a four-way stretch construction that resists abrasion while allowing unrestricted movement. Laser-cut inner-thigh vents increase airflow during climbs and transitions, helping regulate temperature on long days. An adjustable waistband with silicone dots keeps the short securely positioned through aggressive riding, while zippered thigh pockets store essentials without interfering with movement.
