KISS Air2 chamois: comfort at the heart of performance

The Castelli Competizione 2 is equipped with the KISS Air2 chamois, developed to provide reliable comfort during several hours of cycling.

Its design combines a soft surface against the skin with padding intended to better distribute pressure on the saddle.

It helps reduce discomfort during prolonged rides while maintaining excellent freedom of movement.

The KISS Air2 is an excellent compromise for cyclists who want to enjoy Castelli expertise without investing in the highest-end models.

Vortex V2 fabric: a competition-inspired design

The Competizione 2 uses textured Vortex V2 fabric on the legs.

This material was selected for its aerodynamic properties, with a structure designed to better manage airflow while pedaling.

It also provides a technical and sporty finish, characteristic of Castelli equipment.

A noticeable advantage for cyclists who like to ride fast, participate in gran fondos, or simply want high-performance apparel.

Affinity Pro Lycra: support and freedom of movement

On the inside of the legs, Castelli uses its Affinity Pro Lycra fabric.

Stretchy and durable, it naturally follows the pedaling motion and helps keep the bib shorts properly positioned.

Its ability to retain its shape after stretching helps maintain a stable fit during rides.

Breathable straps for comfortable riding

The Competizione 2 straps are made from a lightweight elastic material.

Combined with a mesh back panel, they promote ventilation and make it easier to release heat during exercise.

This construction also prevents a tight waistband around the abdomen.

A particularly welcome detail during long cycling sessions.

Silicone grip bands and flat seams

The leg cuffs feature flat-finished grip bands with integrated silicone.

They keep the bib shorts securely in place without adding extra fabric layers.

Flat seams help reduce bulk and improve comfort in the cycling position.

The result: a fitted, stable, and comfortable bib short to wear for several hours.

Versatile bib shorts for road riding and gran fondos

The Castelli Competizione 2 is designed for cyclists who want equipment capable of supporting them in many situations:

• Road training rides.

• Endurance sessions and long-distance rides.

• Gran fondos and amateur competitions.

• Cycling camps and mountain rides.

• Cycling preparation for a triathlon or IRONMAN.

Its balance of comfort and performance makes it an excellent choice for regular use.

For a triathlon competition, a trisuit is generally more suitable for the swim, bike, and run sequence.
