FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for casual cycling?
While they offer protection, they are specifically designed for high-impact activities like moto, BMX, and downhill mountain biking. For casual rides, they may offer more protection and padding than is necessary.
How do I know if the Smart Flex pads are working?
The Smart Flex pads remain flexible and soft during normal movement. They will instantly harden upon impact to provide protection. You won't feel them working until an impact occurs.
Can I wear these without a chamois cream?
The integrated chamois is designed to reduce chafing on rides up to 4 hours. For longer durations or personal preference, using a chamois cream is still recommended.
How long do the pads last?
The Smart Flex pads are durable and designed to withstand multiple impacts. However, if significant damage occurs to the pads after a severe crash, it may compromise their protective integrity.
What is the main difference between these and regular padded bike shorts?
The G-Form MX Shorts feature Smart Flex technology for impact protection that hardens on impact, whereas traditional padded shorts primarily offer cushioning and moisture management.
What does CE 1621-1 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the hip pads meet specific European standards for impact absorption and abrasion resistance, ensuring a high level of safety.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or small
Consult the G-Form size chart and measure yourself carefully before ordering. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up. If purchased, check the return/exchange policy.
Padding feels stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure the pads are correctly positioned and aligned with your body. The Smart Flex technology is designed to soften with body heat and movement. Wear them for a short period to allow them to conform to your shape.
Chafing during rides
Verify the shorts are the correct size and not bunching up. Ensure the integrated chamois is clean. For extended rides, reapply chamois cream if necessary.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the mesh panels are not obstructed and are clean. Wash the shorts regularly according to care instructions to remove sweat and dirt buildup.
