FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While designed for road cycling, the durable Italian Lycra makes them suitable for gravel or XC mountain biking where a close fit is preferred.
What is the function of the zinc pyrithione finish?
It is an antimicrobial biocidal treatment that prevents the buildup of bacteria, keeping the shorts fresher for longer during heavy sweating.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is not recommended. Heat can damage the Lycra fibers and the silicone grippers. Air drying is the best way to extend the life of the garment.
How should the race fit feel?
The race fit should feel snug and supportive without being restrictive, ensuring the chamois stays in place while you pedal.
Does the chamois contain gel?
Yes, the 600 Series Pad features integrated gel inserts designed to provide enhanced cushioning over long durations.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grippers slipping
Ensure your skin is free of oils, lotions, or sunscreens before putting on the shorts, as these can interfere with the grip.
Pad feeling uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly to align the 600 Series Pad with your sit bones; proper positioning is vital for gel insert effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FS260 shorts, proper care is essential. Always machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the Lycra and the integrity of the silicone grippers. For the best result, air dry the garment away from direct sunlight. Before your first ride, ensure the silicone grippers are placed directly against clean, dry skin to maximize the holding power. Because of the zinc-based antimicrobial treatment, regular washing is important to keep the fabric performing at its best.
