Product Customer Reviews

These shorts are excellent. Elastic Interface pad (what all the expensive brands use), soft shoulder straps, good leg grippers, and a nice level of compression. I did a 106 mile ride in these recently with zero chafing, rubbing, or discomfort. Standard Euro sizing, if you're built like a skinny bike racer these are perfection.
Purchased a medium size, but way too small (I'm 5'7'' and slender build). Larger sizes were unavailable so I took a refund. They seem decent for the price, but definitely try them on first, don't buy online.
Excellent bib
Had to buy a 2xL when i normally buy a M, but otherwise they are good.
Hi James,
Thank you for reviewing our Racer Road Cycling Bib Shorts - Men.
We are glad to hear that you enjoy them and we apologize for the issue you encountered with the sizing.
These bib shorts are indeed designed for a very tight fit, and we advise to go a size above for a comfort fit. Knowing that we are mostly tailored to the European market, with smaller sizes, two sizes above may be accurate here.
We hope you still enjoy them and you can have amazing rides with your new outfit!
Sportively,

I've only worn these bibs a couple of times so can't speak to durability but the materials seem of good quality and well made. I.m 177cm and 155lbs with 32" waist and usually take a medium but L in these is a perfect fit and I mean perfect. I have a number of bibs and shorts of varying price ranges and none fit that well. I'm slim hipped with narrow sit bones and find that chamois often have too wide a channel down the middle so one sit bone is part on and part off the pad, very uncomfortable after a while. These Racer bibs are wide enough where they need to be but also narrow where they need to be. I've also found that the chamois on many other brands tends to slide forward and bunch in the front, these Racer bibs chamois stay exactly where they should. I realize that fit is a very personal thing but for me these bibs are perfect. I just ordered another pair and will retire many of my other ones. Kudos to Decathlon's design teams again.

These are a disappointment in comparison to the Van Rysel RCR which absolutely love and have used for bike/run training and duathlon - I'm assuming these are a follow up as they're "2" The pad seems identical but for some reason isn't as comfortable especially around the top inner thigh. The straps aren't meshed so don't feel as light and comfortable or breathable. The size... I ordered XL same as the RCR which were absolutely perfect (already sized up) and amazingly they're far too tight. Too late for a refund as I tried to get along with them hoping they'd improve after a few rides and ride/run sessions but sadly no.
Great bib shorts, wear it and forget it except for one minor detail. The silicone grippers on the thighs need to be better to help the shorts not pull up
Due to a little off the week before ride London, I needed a new set of bib shorts. Went for these and was really worried as I only had one 5 mile ride to see if they were comfortable before the big day. As it happens the short were brilliant. Really good fit. No pain or discomfort all day.
These bibs held up quite well during the RideLondon 100, just started to ride up over the last 25 miles. Bibs are of a good quality and the padding is of a good fitting and very comfortable.
We 3 puncture after when brought home…
Pads are too thick. This makes the rider sit higher on the saddle. For a rider with a bike fit that’s dialed in, this messes up length from saddle to pedals. Since he is sitting higher than usual, he would end up “reaching” for the pedals resulting in discomfort and loss of power.
Again, typical Decathlon product, which means value for money! I'd suggest including a side pocket, just like the bibless rc500 shorts, in future
Good product but over priced
Loved the construction, the pad and the fact that the grippers didn't dig into my legs One thing to note though- the Leg grippers aren't strong the bib rides up while riding Faced by Me and almost everyone I know. But for 4k I think u can't ask for more
Very good comfort product for 4 to 6 Hour Ride
