Espresso 2 Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This short gives me the fit and function of my best bibs without the straps. It’s cool, compressive, and the chamois is next-level. I use them for everything from long outdoor rides to indoor training blocks."

The Espresso 2 Short is Castelli’s premium non-bib option for road cyclists who want all-day comfort and refined performance in a minimalist silhouette. At the core is Castelli’s Espresso Doppio fabric, engineered for a compressive fit that supports hard pedaling while maintaining moisture control and next-to-skin softness.

The short features Castelli’s Progetto X2 Air Seamless chamois, built with a dual-layer design that pairs a seamless skin-care layer with multi-density foam to reduce pressure, absorb vibration, and maintain airflow. This chamois excels on long rides and keeps comfort consistent across mixed terrain and variable efforts.

With raw-cut leg openings and silicone grippers that hold without pinching, plus a smooth waistband that stays secure without bib straps, the Espresso 2 Short delivers top-tier performance and freedom. Ideal for riders who prefer strap-free simplicity without sacrificing technical comfort.
