Empire 11.5in Bike Short delivers pedal-ready mobility, coverage, and trail-tough durability
"It´s all about the details. The length pairs comfortably with my kneepads and has plenty of room for pedaling." Gearhead® Expert Sammy
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.
