Castelli Men's Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort Black/Blue

Bib Shorts

Out of Stock


Getting feedback from Team Ineos this year has meant trips to Belgium, Nice, Manchester and all around Italy, as well as Skype calls based around racing and training schedules. The recurring feedback from the riders is that their Free Bibshort (the same one you could buy in 2018) is really, really good.

The only requested changes were a loop in the bib to hold the microphone for the race radio and one rider who wanted his seat pad moved back a bit. And it's not only Team Ineos that likes it. The 2018 Free Aero Race Bibshort is the best-selling Castelli short of all time.

So for 2019 the company has made some dramatic changes. Not because Team Ineos or you were asking for it, but the Castelli team has been riding in it a ton and thinking constantly about it could be made better. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch.

The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Ineos will use in 2019.

Castelli has updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. It's re-engineered the bib straps with new fabrics and construction so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The revised Free 3 Aero Race Bibshort also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. You'll be glad that Castelli ignored the old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
