Great shorts… sizing slightly smaller than usual
Really like the new Rapha MTB get up. It’s been well thought through, materials & details are on point. Shorts sizing is slightly tighter than I’m used to with Rapha road. I’m always a large & whilst these fit well, they are just a smidgeon tighter than I’d like. Overall though, really very good.

Durable, versitile and practical
Nice looking and durable shorts as outer layer. Combined it only with rapha pro winter bibs but made a good combo. The liner shorts are a thing for upcoming spring. I liked the pockets, they are out of the way and decently sized. The lock button works fine. Shorts stay firmly in place!

Best MTB shorts on the planet. Hands down.
These are the best MTB shorts I have come across in 10 years of riding. The phone pocket is so well placed I cannot tell my massive iPhone is in my pocket. The button is super cool, and functional. The waist band is very well constructed. The snug up over bibs or shorts just right.

Excellent cut and fit, but durability?
Cut and fit is awesome. Pockets are well thought out. Fabric could be more durable (The butt wore through on first ride when I caught the rear tire in the seat), but they must be aware and do include multiple iron on patches with each garment in the tag which is appreciated.

Best shorts I've ever worn.
Been riding for over 20 years and these are the best MTB shorts i have ever owned. The fit and cut are absolutely spot on. I have a 33 inch waist and the medium are a perfect fit, they stay in place and i have always had issues with shorts slipping down due to my body shape.

Beautifully made. Fit can be tricky.
Beautifully made. Fit can be tricky. I'm 5'10 170 lbs and the mediums felt too tight at home, so I ordered a large which were clearly too baggy. Once on trail the mediums loosened up and fit great - so much so that they actually started to sag off the waist a bit.

Men's Trail Short
Der Stoff wirkt sehr hochwertig und fest, der Schnitt ist sehr gut reicht bis zu den Knien und funktioniert auch mit Knieschonern einwandfrei. Der Bund ist leider nicht sehr elastisch und für die Größe M ein bisschen knapp, 1cm mehr wäre hier optimal.

Good pockets, jury is out on long term wear.
A good amount of pockets which is greeat and well tjought out. Slightly too baggy around the leg for my taste even taking into account space for knee pads. There was wear in the seat area after just one ride which is a concern. Fasteners seem robust.

Excellent cut and perfect on-bike performance
Excellent cut and fit, perfect on-bike comfort worn over bibs, waist adjusters that actually work and don't slip, intelligent pocket layout with excellent phone sleeve. Great fabric with just the right amount of heft, fluid stretch and quick drying.

Meet my shorts.
I have not stopped wearing these shorts since I got them. It’s getting kinda embarrassing. Fit is great and just enough storage provided. Only issue is the honking great logo on them, that could be smaller/subtler. Ordering a second pair soon.

Super shorts
Super shorts, especially for long days/bikepacking adventures. The fabric is light and super fast wicking. Many high quality details. Inside the left pocket there is a hidden pocket for small items like coins, very useful.

Great design and execution
Best pair of riding shorts. Have the equivalent Specialized and Pearl Izumi and these are my go to shorts. Pocket placement is perfect, especially for a cellphone without hindering movement. Very light and comfortable.

2 months review.
I thought the pants was a bit floppy at the bottom mayb a slimmer fit would have been nice but the fabric is nice. some grippers at the waist band would've helped since the inner bib is a smooth surface?

Stylish, functional & robust shorts for the trail
Really nice shorts these, good fit, robust material, breathable, stylish and some really nice features. I particularly like how the belt works. Highly recommended with padded in shorts or bibs.

Light weight, great design.
Lovely light fabric. Great secure closure on the waistband and good pocket design. I would probably prefer slightly less baggy and slightly shorter legs. Still my preferred mtb shorts though.

Want to buy move
Love the Trail Shorts. They are now my "go to" cycling shorts. Look good off the bike too. Great back coverage and length. Material is awesome - moves with you and repels water and gunk.

All you need.
Bought for a bikepacking trip to Spain. Lived in them for 5 weeks, outstanding comfort on and off the bike, no signs of wear and don't shout "I've just got off my bike!" Love them.

Trail Short review
Great fit, durable material and well placed, useful pockets. Comfortable and form fitting while still being roomy enough during technical mountain biking descents or climbs.

MTB Baggy shorts
Belli, comodi, ben rifiniti. Tessuto elastico tanto che all' inizio mentre li infilavo temevo fossero troppo stretti: ma una volta indossati direi che la misura è perfetta.

My go to shorts.
There is something that feels right about every peice of clothing I have gotten from Rapha so far, and these are no different. The fit and look of them is on point for me.

Excellent shorts
This for me replaced favourably the technical shorts, better tissue and super practicable pockets on the side, much better for riding, specially with a phone in it :-)

Awesome shorts! It cool to wear on hot summer days in SoCal. Hope they come out with a khaki color. It’s expensive…well I guess it’s priced similarly to lululemon! Lol

Very comfortable and light. Great fit for me. No abrasion after my first ground-stike. Good zippered pocket placement and orientation. Great snap and belt mechanisms.

Men’s Trail Short
Nice and light material, well cut for pedalling and pads so really comfy. Waist belt system is the best I’ve used - low profile and unobtrusive, no snaggy Velcro

Worth it
Very comfortable. Well built. Angled pockets for phone and wallet excellent. 100% worth the money. Easily worn after riding and not looking like riding gear.

Great shorts for on and off the bike. True to size- other reviews suggest to size down. My jeans size is 34, Rapha size 34 a perfect match (for trail shorts: L)

Look nice but lack in performance.
The material is a little restricting and thick compared to others I have worn. Soft fabric, they look nice, but for the price the performance is not there yet.
