"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve put these shorts through everything—techy climbs, fast descents, and hot, dusty rides—and they’ve become a staple. The fabric is incredibly light but still tough, and the fit feels dialed without being restrictive. They’re minimalist in the best way possible.""Fast, breathable, and built to move, the Ultralight MTB Short is designed for riders who want maximum performance without added bulk. Using the same ultralight Italian-milled fabric from the fan-favorite Ultralight pant, this short is purpose-built for hot weather riding and high-effort trail days. It’s featherweight, quick-drying, and incredibly flexible—ready to keep pace with every climb, carve, and sprint. The updated fit uses pre-shaped paneling and laser-cut hems to reduce bunching and bulk while enhancing comfort in the riding position. Bonded seams eliminate hot spots, and the secure zippered pockets are perfectly placed to avoid bounce and interference while pedaling. Whether paired with a liner for an all-day mission or worn solo on short, punchy rides, the Ultralight MTB Short is made to move with you—every mile of the way."
