Espresso 2 Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the Espresso 2 Short when I want top-tier comfort without bib straps. The fit is compressive but never restrictive, and the Progetto X2 chamois is seriously one of the most comfortable I’ve ridden. Great for long efforts and warm days when bibs can feel like too much."

We turn to the Espresso 2 Short for warm days, high mileage, and long-lasting comfort—without the bib straps. Castelli engineered this short with its advanced Espresso Doppio fabric for a tailored, compressive fit that supports hard efforts while staying incredibly soft against the skin. It’s a premium feel from the first pedal stroke to the last.

Underneath, the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad delivers plush, pressure-free support with multi-density foam that adapts to changing terrain and position. Raw-cut leg endings with integrated silicone grippers hold everything in place without pinching. Built for riders who want serious performance and minimalist design, the Espresso 2 Short is a streamlined solution for everyday training and long weekend rides.
