Padding materials
The most important element of a comfortable cycling short is the padding.
The most important element of a comfortable cycling short is the padding. Therefore BBB has put a lot of research into an ideal padding line-up for our shorts that suits every cyclist and offers maximum comfort under all circumstances. In all our padding we make use of whole piece foam cutting. This characteristic provides a significant increase in comfort. As different people require different levels and shapes of padding we have developed padding for our Originals, Performance, and Premium segments as well for men and women.
ORIGINALS PADDING Regal 65
Our Originals paddings are developed for medium distances (up to 4 hours), are extremely flat on the surface, and have whole piece foam cutting providing the right protection and support on the places where needed.

PERFORMANCE PADDING Valkyrie 90
Our Performance dual-density, three-dimensional paddings are developed for long distances (up to 6 hours).
