Scicon has unveiled its latest innovation, the X-Over bibshorts.
Developed using technical input from ASG Bike Science, Scicon parent company ASG’s bike fitting and testing arm, the bibshorts are designed to support male and female specific anatomy when in the saddle.
The new bibshorts, while suitable for a wide range of saddles and riding styles, have been designed with the Scicon Elan saddle in mind.
The Elastic Interface Technology (EIT) pad ensures all-day comfort whilst the Hybrid Cell System (HCS), consisting of an advanced cell structure, allows the pad to be thinner, lighter and more breathable whilst at the same time improving durability. HCS is made from recycled materials to reduce the product’s carbon footprint.
Italian-made four-way compression Mititech Power fabric was used to form the lower part of the shorts with a bi-elastic Carvico Spider mesh material to wrap around the torso and contour to all body shapes.
Handmade in its factory, Scicon’s ‘100% made in Italy’ bibshorts are available in ten different sizes, ranging from 5XL to 2XS, with the XL size weighing 245 grams.
Claudio Fantin, Scicon marketing strategist, said: “Yet again the teams at Scicon and ASG Bike Science have come together to create one of the best performance cycling products available. Following the successful launch of the Elan saddle, we felt it necessary to release a complementing set of high-performing shorts, the Scicon X-Over bibshorts, to meet the demands of our discerning athletes.”
