Centa GranTurismo BIB shorts woman

GranTurismo Bib Shorts are the perfect bib shorts for cyclists, professionals or gravel riders. Thanks to the comfortable and structured padding and the regular fit, which adapts to different builds and riding styles, these bib shorts are comfortable and suitable for long training sessions in different weather conditions.

Features

Soft tape
Soft touch anti-friction tapes have been added along the edges of the waistband.

Laser finish
Laser-cut leg bottoms guarantee aerodynamics and comfort. The ultra-light silicone soft grip inserts in support of the ladderproof fabric keep the bib shorts steady during cycling without creating discomfort, creases or chafing.

Visibility
To increase visibility and safety, reflective logos and other elements have been added to the back of the leg.

Long leg
For greater aerodynamics, we have made the leg slightly longer than in traditional bib shorts.

Ergonomic braces
Like the rest of the bib shorts, the shoulder straps have been adjusted to the riding position. We wanted them to be light and with reduced elasticity at the back in combination with the X panel to stabilise both the pad and the shorts during cycling and to avoid chafing during intense performance.

X Lumbar
The bib shorts interact with each other through the X-junction on the low elasticity back made of soft, perforated and breathable material. In this way the overalls remain stable but without chafing because the tensions are distributed respecting the harmony of the body's movements. Combined with the ladder-proof compact fabric, the braces create compression zones to support the lumbar and gluteal muscles.

Composition

• Main: 69% Polyamide, 31% Elastane.
• Inserts: 77% Polyamide, 23% Elastane.

UV protection UPF 50+
The fabric has a protection factor that protects against UV radiation (UPF 50+).

Technologies

Pad
Our pads have been designed after careful studies of the anatomy of the human body with a particular focus on comfort. We have analysed the contact and pressure points with the saddle, i.e. the ischial-perineal area, on people with different anatomical conformation and in the most varied conditions of sporting performance: during training, competition, medium and long distances and on routes with different characteristics.
This has allowed us to develop, in collaboration with the Italian company Cytech (Elastic Interface), pads with a three-dimensional construction consisting of various levels of thicknesses of ultralight foam with an open cellular structure, breathable, variable density and with memory. A single thermoformed piece on which the foams have been appropriately distributed according to the friction and pressure points with the saddle. During pedalling, these foams absorb the shocks and energy exerted on the perineal area by compressing and resuming their original shape.

Gturism Pad
The most comfortable pad in our range whose structure improves blood flow and reduces pressure in the perineal area by absorbing shocks and micro-vibrations. The patented design consists of a central channel specifically for the male anatomy and three different densities. All layers are breathable, open-cell foam that channels and expels excess sweat, making it ideal for medium and long distances.
The first high-density layer is spread over the entire pad, the second, laser-perforated for ventilation and medium density, overlaps the first, protecting the ischial area. The last medium-density layer, on the other hand, is added to the first in the perineal area. The whole is covered with a soft microfibre with hydrophilic treatment to support the expulsion of sweat and moisture, with carbon thread that protects against bacteria and electrostatic charges.

+Performance
The structure of the bib and fabric is designed to support the muscles during sports performance by stabilising them, eliminating chafing and reducing fatigue during intense effort. The quadriceps muscles are as if wrapped in a second skin that protects them from vibrations and accompanies them when pushing on the pedals. The lower elastic force of the fabric is accentuated in the return of the pedal itself upwards and results in reduced muscle fatigue. Thanks to a real movement of the fabric that follows that of the legs, performance is maximised with every pedal stroke.

Perfect ergonomic fit
The entire bib and brace has been designed during the rider's riding position to leave nothing to chance. The fabric itself has different densities depending on its functionality:
the seams in the pelvic area and the positioning of the pad have been analysed and tested to ensure maximum muscular support and total freedom of movement during performance by reducing pressure in sensitive areas.

Minimal seams and panels
The seams have been reduced to a minimum and positioned to create a functional bibshorts with a clean and
clean and minimalist design. To increase comfort in the abdominal area, we have applied an insert
of soft and ultra-light fabric.

1CC# Light compression fabric: light resistent aerodynamic transpirant
The fabric of the bibshorts is ladderproof, high-density, ultralight, breathable, aerodynamic and odour-neutralising. It is not the knitted fabric found in the most common sportswear whose elasticity is due to the sagging of the knit itself, but a more high-performance one with a solid structure, constant and homogeneous elasticity on all 4 sides due to the interlacing of high-fine yarns. An anti-pilling material, resistant to tearing and abrasion, especially in the saddle area, which maintains its characteristics over time.

Light compression fabric
A light compression fabric, more comfortable than other bib shorts, suitable for long training sessions.

Aerodynamic soft touch
A special soft touch treatment at yarn level that not only makes the fabric soft and pleasant in contact with the skin but also contributes to aerodynamics.

O2 muscle fabric
FIR (Far Infrared Rays) technology has been applied to the inside of the fabric. During sports performance a part of human heat is dissipated, another part is filtered through bioactive minerals and naturally repelled back to the surface layer of the skin in the form of FIR (far infrared rays), harmless and imperceptible, which stimulate the superficial blood microcirculation resulting in improved athletic performance and accelerated muscle recovery. This is a patented technology, scientifically tested using recognised international protocols conducted by independent laboratories. Incorporated into the fibre, it maintains its effectiveness, even after numerous washings.
