Castelli Competizione Short - black 010

The thrill of competition

Castelli made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from the top-of-the-line pro-level race shorts at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number.

The main Vortex textured fabric and the GIRO4 leg gripper come straight from the top Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort, while the KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of the top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is the knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team.

This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product in your cycling wardrobe.

Features of the Castelli Competizione Short:

• KISS Air² seat pad for all-day comfort
• Affinity Pro Lycra® fabric on inside of leg for outstanding stretch and rebound
• Vortex BLC textured fabric on legs for better aerodynamics
• GIRO4 leg gripper with raw edge for comfort and silicone stripes for grip
• Flat-lock stitching
• Reflective detailing on back

KISS Air2 seat pad: A new optimized shape, higher density foam and a softer top layer make the KISS cushion more comfortable than ever.
