Backcountry Slickrock 7in Bike Short - Women's

Tackle technical trails with confidence in the Slickrock 7in Bike Short—breathable, stretchy, and ready to ride

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wear these when it's hot out and I want something pedal-friendly but tough. The fabric is super light and stretchy, and the 7in inseam works great with or without low-profile pads."

From sandstone rollers to alpine singletrack, the Backcountry Slickrock 7in Bike Short gives us lightweight comfort and trail-focused mobility on every ride. Designed in-house with input from our team of mountain bikers, this short is built to move, breathe, and hold up to long days in the saddle.

The four-way stretch fabric wicks moisture and dries fast, while the articulated fit and gusseted crotch keep us pedaling freely through tech sections or up steep switchbacks. The 7-inch inseam offers a minimal, tailored fit that works with low-profile pads or on its own for streamlined performance. With zippered hand pockets to stash snacks and small tools, it's our go-to short when we're packing light and moving fast.
