Alé Speedfondo Bib Shorts

The Alé Speedfondo Bib Shorts have gained an enviable reputation for comfort and performance. But the design team at Alé never rest, and have made a host of improvements to make them better than ever.

The iconic Speedfondos just got better. This iteration of Alé Speedfondo Bib Shorts have been re-engineered with an innovative, ultra-matt, fast-drying fabric to make them fit and feel even better. When you're facing into long mountain climbs or making the pace over cobbled roads, you can be confident that the Speedfondos are going to remain comfortable, even when lungs are burning and legs screaming from high-intesity efforts.

All technical details have also been reappraised and improved upon, delivering extra muscle support and oustanding breathability. For endurance rides that stretch from early morning to late evening, reflective details keep you visible.

X Air Bib Construction

The redesigned bib section Ale call their X Air Bib Construction. Using soft microfibre straps and a lightweight X-shaped back, this system minimises skin contact, leaving more skin open to the air. This allows for rapid sweat evaporation for greater comfort and freshness. The careful positioning of the straps also gives extra stability and holds your shorts in the optimal position at all times.

AM Carbon Fibre

Elsewhere, Ale deploys the anti-static and anti-bacterial advantages of their AM Carbon Fibre material in the upper layers of the seat insert. Dispersing charges accumulated during physical activity and accelerating sweat evaporation, this material contributes to extra comfort on the bike.

Men’s 8HF Seat Pad

Inside, the Men’s “8HF” pad utilises an elastic microfibre with memory padding, strategically positioned at the saddle contact points for maximum comfort.

In the perineal and ischiatic area, higher density 120kg/m³ padding ensures the very best support on the saddle and vibration-damped comfort across even the roughest of roads. Meanwhile, a central relief channel protects sensitive nerve endings while lateral shaped flexible wings follow the body for complete freedom of movement and comfort when pedalling
