Pedalare Principale Bibs

I've considered Pedalare bibs to be my go-to for a number of years now - for both short and long rides. The Principale bibs are extremely comfortable. Love them.

Amazing quality and fit

These are without a doubt the best bib shorts I have every owned. And I've owned many different brands at different tiers. Do not hesitate even at full retail price they are well worth it. I wish I bought two on the black friday sale!

Best Bibs

I bought these bibs the day before flying out to Ireland on a cycling trip. I did 700kms in 7days with the days ranging from 4:30-6:30 in the saddle with no complaints. The comfort is next level and the advice from the boys regarding sizing was spot on, by far the best bibs I’ve had.

Asked for review but shirts not arrived, Cam from PEDALARE addressed the missing shorts quickly and a mother set arrived promptly. They are great and the service is excellent

Long time, very satisfied user of the Classico bibs and decided to treat myself. The Principales are brilliant - they just disappear on you - you need to check that you're still wearing them. Haven't done any super long rides yet, but on the experience so far, I reckon they'll still be going once you're not.

The Pedalare Cycling Bib Shorts are hands down the most comfortable I’ve worn. The seamless design means no chafing, and I’ve had zero saddle sores, even on long rides. The premium-quality fabric feels great, offering the perfect balance of support and breathability. Highly recommend for any serious cyclist!

Big fan

Got a couple pairs of the Principale bibs. Fit like an absolute glove with no part being too tight or loose. Comfiest bibs I've ever used. 170cm 61kg wearing an XS.

Comfortable and light

Very comfortable for long rides, exceptional quality garment. Didn't put them through the wind tunnel, but I suspect very aero and great for racing

Best bib shorts ive ever owned

The fit, the materials, the deep black finish that just seems to hold, its all exceptional. Not to mention that it seems to get more and more comfy after every use.

Bib Shorts for Connoisseurs of Cycling Apparel

An epic R&D and product testing journey at Pedalare Perth has paid off. The most comfortable piece of clothing I own, on and off the bike for both wearable comfort and chamois. Pedalare takes its place in the top end bibshort stratosphere. Thoroughly recommended for anyone seeking bibshorts at the pinnacle end of quality and comfort.

Principale shorts

These shorts feel so well designed and of such high quality from opening the box to putting the shorts on. There is some sort of magic happening with the way you’re unaware of where the shorts end on your leg it sometimes feels like you’re not wearing shorts at all. Amazing chamois as well, have done some big days in the saddle without any issues.

Principale Bib Shorts

Finally got a chance to crack open the Pedalare Principale bib shorts and have a little pedal. WOW, I was already a big fan of the Pedalare bib shorts, these are next level in comfort! I will be transferring all my bibs to Principale’s from now on! HIGHLY recommend!

Unbeatable Value for money!

Not only do these bibs looks pro AF they are seriously comfortable.
I recently rode 300km (12.5 hrs in them on a 35 °C day), no chamois cream, no worries.

Do you and your taint a favour and grab a pair for yourself today!

Best shorts I've used

I have chewed through 100s of pairs of Bibs, and these are the ones. I like that it doesn't have a "band" on the leg so you get that super clean look. And Chamois is comfy for hours in the saddle. Kop some you won't regret
