Gravel, cycle touring, and bikepacking: demanding conditions that require robust equipment. Frame, wheels, tires, clothing. Every element must be up to par. That's why the KIESPANZER ("gravel tank") provides the durability needed to withstand the rigors of off-road cycling. Furthermore, these shorts offer extra storage space for all-day riding and easy access to essential accessories, stored in highly stretchy and breathable pockets with 3-Mesh panels. Reflective stripes ensure visibility in the early morning, evening, or at dusk, when you're tackling the final stretch to your next hotel or campsite.

THE SPECIAL FEATURES
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.429 fabric wraps with light compression, is breathable, and aerodynamic. When the dirt road becomes little more than a trail and the vegetation becomes thicker, the side panels protect from abrasion thanks to Bunny Hop fabric, a durable, bi-elastic, and compact orthogonal fabric composed of equal parts polyamide and elastane.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT
The C2 AEPD regularFit is inherited from our performance racing models, but features a less aggressive design and standard leg length. Perfect for maximum comfort while riding and freedom of movement off the bike.

ENGINEERING
X-frame: A-shaped structure inherited from the MILLE GTS bibs, which prevents the shorts from sagging in the lumbar area and ensures a secure fit that stabilizes the seat pad and main panel.

Silicone Leg Grippers: A more robust version of the elastic band, suitable for gravel, which adheres to the thighs thanks to light silicone applications.

Four Pocket System: Two thigh pockets with compartments for storing essentials and two discreet and secure rear pockets for small items. The zipper pulls, developed in response to our riders' requests, make it easy to access the pockets.

MILLE GTC C2
Shock-Absorb Damping Twin: Two layers of microShock and filterFoam for 19mm of gravel comfort. The thermoformed construction reduces irritation and the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex are essential for cycle touring and bikepacking.

goldenGate: seams that secure the pad at the front and back, but allow the pad to gently follow your body's movements.

kraterCooler: holes on the surface of the pad that allow air to circulate inside it, ensuring the passage of cool air on the hottest summer days.

3D Waffle: A patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
