EXO Targeted Compression Bib Short

EXO Targeted Compression Bib Knicker

Targeted Compression

The First Warm Weather Knicker

A Bib Knicker designed for summer use may sound strange, but the EXO Bib Knickers have completely revolutionized cycling apparel by incorporating progressive muscle isolation paneling with a compressive focus.

Support the Knee, Support the Pedal Stroke

The paneling of the EXO Bib Knickers starts with knee support that facilitates uniform pedal strokes. The paneling and material support the tendons connecting the patella to the surrounding muscles, which can cause pain in many cyclists. This helps reduce strain on the knee while offering support to help it track properly throughout the pedal stroke.

Supportive + Secure Upper System

The bib uppers are cut to be sturdy while framing the rider’s upper body as ergonomically as possible. The upper system also adds an extra level of bracing to keep the shorts in place while lying comfortably over the back and shoulders. This ensures the top of the line Cirro O.F. Chamois will stay in place next to the rider’s skin all day. This is one of the best bib shorts we've ever made. Ideally suited for the cyclist who knows a high quality pair of bib shorts is one of the best investments you can make for increased comfort and performance on the bike.

Targeted Compression

The paneling throughout the thighs and glutes is designed to surround, support, and compress the muscle groups to delay fatigue through the benefits of active compression. The driving force behind the compressive powers of the knickers are high quality power lycras™ like Moovix, that are deployed in the paneling to provide specifically targeted amounts of compression. This omni-directional stretch fabric creates a micro-massaging effect on the muscles that promotes blood flow during activity to help delay the onset of fatigue.

Feel the Flow

Similar compressive fabrics wrap the lower knee and calf to increase blood flow to and from the lower legs and feet. The bib uppers are cut to be sturdy while framing the rider’s upper body as ergonomically as possible.

Like Nothing Else

This EXO Bib Knicker system is currently the pinnacle of cycling apparel technology in the industry. Ideally suited for riders who like equipment that pushes the bounds of what is possible and aren’t afraid to try something new.

The supreme compression effects of the EXO Bib Short are possible because of the use of Moovix™ power Lycra® which provides a higher compression rate than other materials in the line. This omni-directional stretch fabric creates a micromassaging effect on the muscles that promotes blood flow during activity and helps delay the onset of fatigue.

EXO Short and Long Sleeve Jerseys Aerodynamic Fabrics

Combinations of smooth and textured materials create the ultimeate aerodynamic garment which is the new EXO jersey. The second skin fit is achieved through the ergonomic design, stretch and cut of the textured air-breaking fabric that spans from the arms to the lower back. The smooth front panel conforms to the body allowing the jersey to stay in place. Both fabrics, in addition to the breathable mesh used under the arms, maximize breathability to keep the body cool and dry.

Ergonomic Collar and Camlock Zipper

The collar further enforces the aerodynamic purpose of the jersey as it is contoured to fit the front, sides, and back of the neck ergonomically for a perfect fit. The reversed Camlock zipper is maneuverable with one hand and locks in the down position.

Cargo Support

Three rear pockets are constructed of a thin all-way stretch material that has optimal stretch and return to allow for the storage of necessary items without experiencing sag or bounce. A pocket lip protects against the loss of small items. A wide reflective strip is placed above the pockets for visibility- this strategic placement increases aerodynamics by impeding air from entering the pockets. The waistband is completed with a thin elastic band for comfort.

Forearm Compression

The long sleeve version of the EXO jersey introduces Moovix™ ultra compression Lycra on the forearms for comfort during long rides as well as recovery rides. The material is breathable, lightweight, contains moisture management properties, and protects against UV rays.
