Backcountry Empire 11.5in Bike Short - Women's

• Product Details

  What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

  "I ride these when the trails are fast, rough, and demand a little more coverage. The longer inseam makes a difference on descents, the fabric feels tough without being stiff, and the vents help keep air moving when things heat up. They stay put even when the riding gets rowdy."

  With endless miles of enduro riding right here in our backyard, including the legendary Empire trail in Park City, we needed a short built to stand up to gnarly descents, trailside brush, and the occasional crash. The Backcountry Empire combines a durable 4-way stretch fabric with an enduro-friendly fit to give us a short that won't restrict us, whether we're tackling a massive rock garden or practicing our whips at the bike park.
