Saddle-to-Street, Made Accessible

All the design DNA of our Women's Signature Commuter Short — a tailored outer shell fully integrated with a concealed performance liner, engineered for 20–50km commutes — built in premium technical fabric.

Same cut. Same construction. Same comfort on the ride. A more accessible entry into the l'étape cycliste system.

The Construction

The Essential Commuter Short integrates a fully concealed performance liner within a structured outer shell, powered by Elastic Interface® chamois technology for long-distance saddle comfort.

Where our Signature short uses Italian technical textiles for an elevated hand-feel, Essential is constructed from premium technical fabric — delivering the same silhouette and ride performance at a more accessible price point.

Ready for more? Signature is the same short, elevated further with Italian fabric and a softer, premium feel.

Technical performance outer with a fully integrated cycling liner and Elastic Interface® performance chamois.

Free shipping on Australian orders. International shipping options and costs are shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
