Rapha

Core Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use these for indoor training the most because they breathe well and don’t shift around when I’m pushing higher cadence work. The grippers feel soft but stay locked in during longer intervals."

We rely on the Core Shorts when we want a dependable, strapless option that keeps us comfortable through varied training. Rapha’s dense-knit main fabric creates a stable platform with modesty and support, and its stretch patterning stays consistent whether we’re warming up or holding threshold. The free-from-bib construction helps maintain ventilation during indoor sessions or warm-weather rides.

Flatlock seams are strategically placed to minimize irritation, especially when we’re spending long periods in a forward-leaning position. A single-density chamois provides predictable cushioning for tempo efforts and endurance mileage, while the soft waist elastic maintains reliable anchoring without constricting. Laser-cut silicone leg grippers keep the short from shifting during high-output work, maintaining a clean line and dependable fit from start to finish.

These shorts fit best into indoor training routines, warm-weather spins, and everyday mileage where simplicity and comfort matter most.
