XENON SONIC Bib Shorts
GORE BIKE WEAR™ has expanded its innovative XENON range for summer 2009. The new XENON SONIC Bib Shorts incorporate the next generation of seat inserts.
A bike marathon or a 100-mile tour is a physical challenge to say the least. As well as having light and versatile equipment to protect the body from overheating or chilling, it is equally important to sit comfortably. In the normal seated position, the entire weight of the body falls on the ischium. The sportier the seated position on the bike, the more weight is shifted to the perineal area and the groin. To protect the large number of nerves that run through these areas and to prevent injuries and discomfort, pressure needs to be evenly distributed via an anatomically-shaped seat.
The XENON SONIC seat insert is so thin it can scarcely be felt, yet it offers maximum saddle comfort. This is due to the state-of-the-art gel foam positioned at the critical pressure points in varying degrees of density and thickness.
The mix of materials in the XENON SONIC Bib Shorts has been specifically designed to match the body's anatomy during road biking. The soft, skin-friendly mesh material used for the bibs is positioned in such a way that there is very little pull on the shoulders. A highly durable, abrasion resistant material is used for the inside leg, an area subject to extreme wear. Integrated into the outside legs is an aerodynamically-designed material to provide improved performance through compression.
The new XENON range is perfectly coordinated clothing system which has been developed to meet the needs of every dedicated cyclist and ensure consistent top-level performance. GORE-TEX®, WINDSTOPPER® and other technical materials have been carefully selected so that each item of clothing provides an ideal balance between comfort, performance and protection. As the focus of GORE BIKE WEAR™ is on entire product lines, rather than isolated products, it can offer comprehensive solutions to meet every sporting challenge.
