If you're a cyclist that demands the best technology at the best price, then look no further than the Performance Ultra Shorts. Designed in Chapel Hill, NC and made in the United States, the Ultra Shorts ensure you'll be riding at your best.

These shorts feature the new Ultra TMF Italian chamois with Skyving technology for seamless, pressure-free comfort, and its multi-density foam with Air Mesh layer provides shock absorption, breathability, and moisture-wicking. The shorts' high compression fabric has an embossed texture and uses push/pull technology to manage moisture while the six panel construction with abrasion-resistant side panels maintain a streamlined fit.

Coldblack technology reduces skin temperature under direct sunlight for the ultimate in cooling comfort on hot days and the an UPF 30+ rating means there's protection against the sun's harmful rays. Wide, sublimated leg bands are non-restrictive and the silicone interior helps to keep the shorts perfectly placed. Built with the same features found in high-end cycling shorts, the Performance Ultra Shorts give you all the benefits the pros are accustomed to.

Features: 

  • Nylon/spandex fabric blend with embossed texture improves aerodynamics, manages moisture, and provides high compression at a lighter weight
  • Abrasion-resistant side panels are made with a special knit that pulls perspiration from the surface of the skin and pushes it off the face of the material
  • Ultra TMF Italian chamois is anatomically shaped for long distance comfort, features multi-density foams to absorb vibrations, utilizes seamless Skyving technology to eliminate steps between foam layers, plus has a carbon brushed anti-bacterial top sheet
  • Italian made leg opening includes a wide sublimated leg band with silicone print to prevent them from riding up the leg
  • 6-panel design with high compression reduces muscle fatigue and speeds up muscle recovery
  • UPF 30+ sun protection
  • Flatlock seams eliminate chafing
  • Reflective accents enhance visibility in low-light conditions

These are the most comfortable bike shorts. I have tried many others but none compare. I have 2 pairs and worried that I wouldn't be able to buy another pair when the Performance Bike stores near me closed. So happy to find them on the website. Hope they will offer more colors again but as long they still make them, I won't complain.

These are the second bike-shorts I have ever purchased. And WOW! I'm 6'3", weigh around 187 pounds, and bought the large size. I was pretty impressed trying them on because the legs were easy to get into. But that chamois? My first impression was that I was sitting on an old school beach-cruiser seat with a seat cushion on it. They did not skimp on the padding! And so I went on my typical 5 hour bike ride across the hills of Seattle and was shocked. What happened to all of the bumps in the road? It was like going from an old VW Beetle to a high-end Mercedes with leather interior. Seriously. Five hours of pedaling and everything stayed where I put it to begin with. The legs didn't pull at my hairy legs. Nothing shifted. No numbness. Just a long, hot, smoke-filled day of pedaling in comfort. The waistband didn't give me issues. And they were just as easy to get out of as to get into.

Yes, I would buy these again in a heartbeat and yes, I would recommend these.

I purchased for my husband because he wore out the first shorts. The shorts are comfortable with ample padding. The smooth legging without seams make it extra comfortable and not constricting.

Very nice bike shorts and certainly a great value. I’ve already ridden one 100 mile ride in them and they were great. I’ll purchase additional shorts when I need them.

I now have 2 of these (finally!). Very comfortable, and they don't grab or pull at the bottom of the legs. My go-to for any ride further than 35 miles.

Performance Ultra Shorts (Black/Yellow) (XL)
I am 6' 3" weighing in at 170 lbs. I based my purchase on the reviews for sizing. Ended up gettin the XL. The waist came up way too high to a point that I would feel pressure on a long ride and the legs were way too short. Because the legs are too short on an XL I won't even try goin down to a L. Gonna return em and try and find a different pair that will work. The padding is awesome though.

Snugness of the fit is perfect. Quality of stitching and the feeling of the padding is excellent. My only complaint, and it's not insignificant is that the shorts are too short... they are about 8 inches above the knee. That's a problem and would keep me from recommending these shorts to anyone.

Performance Ultra Shorts (Black/Yellow) (XL)
Very comfortable and a good fit. I have a 34 waist and an XL fits good, so better size up and ignore the size chart. I used other reviews to make that decision. Only thing, I wished the pads were back a little, but it’s not bad.

my waist is 32-33 I bought the Large. The shorts are really tight anything over 33 waist you wouldn't get a Large size on. Im a very avid rider these are really nice shorts but the sizing is off.

Best shorts I have owned. Did a 69.2 mile ride last weekend (longest ride in years) and NO chafing! Fabric is comfortable and the waistband does not sag. Only downside was the price, even though it was discounted.
