Its new Premio bib shorts are claimed to mark its biggest advancement in shorts technology this last decade, though, and its best-performing bibs ever – but they won’t be available for pro-team riders.
The reason the shorts are beyond ‘pro’ is down to the material used. The new high-tech fabric can’t be printed on, so sponsored teams are unable to print the logos and designs that typically cover that fabric real estate.
