Ultralight MTB Short – Men’s

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“These are the lightest, most comfortable MTB shorts I’ve worn. They’re perfect for long trail rides or hot days when every ounce counts. The fabric moves with you, and the pockets are well-placed so nothing bounces around. The fit is dialed and stays put no matter the terrain.”

When we want coverage without the bulk, the Ultralight MTB Short is our go-to for hot laps, high mileage, and fast-paced rides. Updated with refined patterning and a streamlined fit, these shorts are made with a featherweight stretch-woven fabric that’s milled in Italy and built for serious mobility. Whether we’re grinding uphill or railing a descent, the fit moves with us and disappears into the ride.

Laser-cut hems and bonded seams keep everything sleek and irritation-free, while bonded zip pockets hold the essentials without interfering with movement. The lower-profile fit is kneepad compatible, and the PFAS-free DWR finish keeps light trail moisture at bay. From quick lunch loops to all-day linkups, these shorts strike the ideal balance of lightweight comfort and trail-focused performance.
