FAQs
Does this model come with a padded liner?
No, this is a shell-only model and does not include a chamois liner.
What is the fit like compared to standard shorts?
These shorts feature a 'Race Fit,' which is more streamlined and tailored than casual baggy mountain bike shorts.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the inclusion of a rear breathable mesh stretch panel allows for excellent ventilation during warm rides.
Can I use these for disciplines other than enduro?
Absolutely, the durable construction and articulated fit make them great for general trail riding and all-mountain use.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and hang to dry to preserve the technical fabric properties.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight around the thighs
The Ruckus range features a Race Fit profile; ensure you are not wearing overly bulky knee pads underneath that may impede the cut of the fabric.
Waistband button coming undone
Check to ensure the double-button enclosure is fully seated in the buttonhole; the low-profile design requires a firm press to secure.
Fabric staining or debris accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after your ride before placing the shorts in the washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct waist size as the 'Race Fit' is designed to be form-fitting. Since this model does not include a liner, you can pair these with any third-party padded cycling liner or bib short depending on your preference for padding thickness. To maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh and performance fabrics, wash these shorts on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, and air dry whenever possible to extend the life of the technical material.
