Shorts/Bottoms

For 2019 we've made some dramatic changes. Not because Team Ineos or you were asking for it, but because we've been riding in it a ton and thinking constantly about how we could make it better. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Ineos will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. The revised Free Aero Race 4 Short also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. You'll be glad we ignore the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." - Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance - Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit - Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area - Doppio V construction in front for increased support and comfort - Flat-lock stitching - Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad

This will also be your go-to tight for dry conditions. It's a no-compromise piece for all your cool-weather riding. It's not just about the fabric, though. This is a serious training tight, so it gets our Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. For total protection in the high-splash area of the inner leg, we use a fully reflective waterproof fabric that adds a high degree of nighttime safety to this tight. The tight is constructed with the bare minimum of seaming, which helps keep the rain out and also makes it more comfortable. This is the best all-around tight that we know how to make with today's technology. - Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings a higher level of water protection and warmth - Double-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes in - Reflective waterproof splash guards on inside of lower legs - Double layer over backside protects from water coming off rear wheel - Fewer seams to reduce the chance of water coming in - Lie-flat bib construction - Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad for long hours in the saddle

This is the piece designed for racing in the cold and/or wet. The new Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric keeps out more water than ever and is warmer than ever thanks to the new double-face tightly knit construction. We've minimized seams for comfort and to keep water out, and used a raw edge at the bottom of the leg, cut just above the knee to add a bit of extra warmth. While this short is our best short for wet conditions, it's also a great choice for dry and cold if you want to pair it with a knee or leg warmer. - Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings a higher level of water protection and warmth - Double-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes in - Long leg reaches to just above the knee - Raw-cut edge at knee for comfort - Fewer seams to reduce the chance of water coming in - Lie-flat bib construction - Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad for long hours in the saddle - Reflective screen-printed Castelli graphic on both legs

Everything We Know About Comfort This short is the result of decades spent working to make long hours in the saddle ever more comfortable. The fabric is our high-stretch Forza fabric. The 38% Lycra content means that it's gently compressive while never binding. And it maintains an insanely soft hand. The nearly seamless construction is derived from our Body Paint shorts, which debuted a decade ago and started the trend of reduced seams while maintaining remarkable fit. Nothing to rub or break. The renowned Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad gets an update in this season with a new skin care layer that features a remarkably soft new surface fabric and more stretch, which allows us to eliminate the front triangle. We also obsessed over every other little detail, like the new bib construction and even new silicone logos that stretch with the base fabric and recall the logo location of the first Castelli Aero Short from the late ’70s, the short that started it all. Product Features - Forza fabric with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit - Dual-layer lumbar support band keeps shorts locked in place around waist - Reduced seaming for more comfort - Raw-edge leg ending with vertical silicone grippers - Mesh back with bonded 2-layer bib straps - Silicone Castelli logos - Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad - 15°-30°C / 59°-89°F - Weight: 211g
