THE MTB PANTS FOR A SAFE RIDE
Mountain biking is a sport that offers exciting adventures but also requires technical skill. Whether on challenging trails, in the all-mountain sector or freeriding, the right clothing is crucial for a safe and comfortable riding experience. We offer specially designed cycling shorts that meet the high demands of this sport and offer you safety and comfort for your next tour.
Protection and safety
The robust design of every pair of Gonso cycling shorts and the high-quality materials provide you with additional protection from branches and stones or in the event of a fall. This not only increases your safety but also boosts your confidence. Master difficult passages without being paralysed by fear of injury.
Functional details
We attach great importance to practical features. Many MTB trousers are equipped with pockets that offer you sufficient storage space for important items. Zips and Velcro fasteners ensure that everything stays safely in place. In addition, adjustable elements such as the waistband and leg cuffs are integrated as standard so that you can adjust the fit of your cycling trousers to suit your individual needs.
Water-repellent and breathable
Even in damp conditions or sudden rain showers, our MTB trousers won't let you down. The water-repellent properties of the fabrics used keep you dry and ensure that you stay comfortable even in wet weather. If the cycling trousers do get wet in a heavy shower, you can enjoy the quick-drying function of the material and continue your adventure after a short time.
ROAD CYCLING SHORTS – FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE ON THE ASPHALT
For road cyclists who value speed, performance and stylish design, we offer a wide range of road cycling shorts. They are specially designed to meet the needs of road cyclists and provide an optimal riding experience. Get the most out of yourself and enjoy the thrill of speed with road cycling shorts from Gonso.
Aerodynamic design
Road cycling requires efficient use of energy, and aerodynamic cycling shorts play a crucial role in this. Gonso road cycling shorts are close-fitting to minimise air resistance. The result is improved performance and higher speeds with less effort.
Particularly lightweight materials
Weight is a major enemy of speed optimisation in road cycling. That's why we use ultra-lightweight materials that not only reduce the overall weight of the cycling shorts, but also ensure a high level of comfort. The fabrics are also breathable and support temperature regulation, so you can achieve peak performance even during intense training sessions or races.
High-quality padding
Sitting on a road bike saddle for long periods of time can cause uncomfortable pressure points and pain in the buttocks. That's why Gonso cycling shorts are equipped with ergonomically shaped seat pads that distribute pressure evenly and absorb shocks. The pads are made of high-quality, durable materials such as specially developed gel and offer optimal comfort even on long rides.

THERMAL CYCLING TROUSERS – WARMTH AND COMFORT FOR COLD DAYS
For passionate cyclists who are not deterred by cold weather, thermal cycling trousers are an essential item of clothing. This type of cycling trousers is specially designed to ensure optimum protection and maximum comfort at low temperatures. Because, of course, you want to feel the wind on your face even in winter without having to sacrifice comfort and warmth.
Warming materials
Gonso thermal cycling trousers are made from special insulating materials that store body heat and wick away moisture at the same time. This combination ensures that your legs stay warm and dry even in cold weather.
Windproof function
Cold wind can quickly become unpleasant. These cycling trousers for the cold seasons are equipped with windproof inserts that prevent the wind from hitting your skin directly. This reduces the risk of cooling down and provides additional comfort.
Protection from moisture
Snow and rain are often part of autumn and winter weather. The water-repellent properties of the cycling trousers keep moisture out and ensure that you stay dry even in wet conditions. At the same time, the materials are breathable to efficiently wick sweat away from the body.
SHORTS AND 3/4-PANTS – FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND OPTIMAL VENTILATION
For cyclists who want both comfort and freedom of movement, 3/4-pants and shorts are the ideal choice. This style of cycling trousers is particularly suitable for the warmer days of the year, protecting your thighs from the sun on your rides and providing your legs with sufficient cooling airflow. This prevents your muscles from overheating and allows you to pedal for longer.
Adjustable length
3/4-length trousers offer the perfect balance between protection and freedom of movement. They reach just below the knee, protecting most of the legs from wind and weather without restricting mobility. Shorts, on the other hand, end above the knee and offer maximum ventilation and comfort on warm days.
High-quality materials
We only use high-quality materials for our 3/4-length trousers and shorts that are both robust and lightweight. The fabrics are breathable and effectively wick away moisture, so you always enjoy a comfortable ride, even during intense exertion and high temperatures.
Seat padding for long rides
Many 3/4-length trousers and shorts from Gonso are equipped with high-quality seat pads that have been specially developed for long rides. These pads distribute pressure evenly and offer additional comfort by absorbing shocks and vibrations. This makes even long rides in short cycling shorts a pleasure and a sore bum is a thing of the past.
ONLY SELECTED MATERIALS FOR YOUR CYCLING SHORTS
As a leading manufacturer of cycling clothing, we rely on high-quality materials to ensure maximum comfort and protection for cyclists. The selection of materials plays a crucial role in the development of our products. Whether bib shorts, MTB shorts or leisure shorts – every pair of cycling shorts in our range is made from suitable materials to give you optimum functionality and safety. Examples of this are:
- G-TEX: This material is waterproof, windproof and breathable. Its robustness and durability ensure that the cycling trousers retain their functional properties even with intensive use. Taped seams prevent friction and chafing.
- G-SHELL: Rapid moisture transport ensures a comfortable fit. The membrane's perfect temperature regulation ensures that you maintain the ideal heat balance in your cycling trousers during any activity. G-SHELL is also known for its windproof and water-repellent properties.
- LYCRA® SPORT: The highly elastic functional material LYCRA® SPORT offers exceptional stretch and flexibility thanks to elastane fibres. It is ultra-light and virtually invisible. The material stands for an optimal fit and guarantees improved comfort and freedom of movement during all activities.
- Recycled polyamide yarn: The outer fabric for your cycling shorts is based on a sustainable process that helps reduce waste. The yarn is obtained by combining waste materials such as old fishing nets. The recycled polyamide yarn is reusable and stands for sustainability.
Another innovative material comes from PRIMALOFT®. PRIMALOFT® Silver Insulation, consisting of 70% PCR (post-consumer recycled), is a technical microfibre that mimics the natural structure of down. It is windproof, water-repellent and breathable, ensuring optimal protection and excellent comfort. Despite its high thermal efficiency, it remains effective even when wet and retains its insulating properties. Another plus point is its sustainable production from up to 100% recycled plastic bottles. This means that with your cycling trousers, you can also make a clear statement about environmental protection.
