Outdoor Research Freewheel Lite Ride Short - Men´s

Lightweight, stretch mountain bike shorts for high-performance comfort on the trail

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These shorts are my go-to for warm-weather trail riding. The four-way stretch fabric moves with me, while the articulated leg openings ensure knee pad compatibility. The contoured waistband stays put even on aggressive descents, and the DWR treatment keeps me dry when I hit unexpected puddles. Plus, the zip pocket is perfect for stashing my key or a snack."

When we hit the trails, we want shorts that move with us, breathe well, and stay comfortable all ride long. The Freewheel Lite Ride Shorts from Outdoor Research check all the boxes with their lightweight, four-way stretch fabric and minimalist design. Whether we´re climbing switchbacks or dropping into fast descents, these shorts deliver unrestricted mobility and a secure fit that won´t shift mid-ride.

Designed with performance in mind, the contoured waistband features a higher back rise for coverage, while the bonded stretch waistband eliminates pressure points. A water-resistant DWR treatment helps us stay dry in unpredictable conditions, and the articulated leg openings fit seamlessly over knee pads. Finished with a zippered security pocket and side waist adjustments, these shorts keep us focused on the ride ahead.
