===============================================================================

The Australian cycling apparel brand, MAAP, has unveiled its latest offering - the MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts. Known for their high-quality products, these new shorts promise to deliver unparalleled comfort, support, and aerodynamic performance.

Design and Construction

The MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts feature a unique design, with a different fabric on the legs compared to the Team Evo bibs. This fabric, resembling Rapha's Powerweave material but thinner, creates small dimples on the legs while worn, intended to improve aerodynamic performance by reducing turbulence of air leaving the legs.

Chamois and Comfort

The chamois in the MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts is a standout feature. It consists of a perforated foam layer, high density vibration reducing inserts, and a seamless bacteriostatic cover. A pressure relief channel in the center prevents hot spots on any soft tissue areas, ensuring maximum comfort during long rides.

Bib Straps and Fit

The bib straps on the MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts are designed to spread the pressure load over the shoulders more evenly, providing a supportive fit. The shorts also offer great levels of compression, breathability, and supportive fit, thanks to the exceptional bib straps and lightweight woven and compressive fabrics. Internal raw-cut and flatlock seams are used to reduce pressure points and friction.

Aerodynamics and Visibility

The MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts also boast a high airflow mesh between the straps at the rear for optimal support and breathability. The front panel of the shorts has small protrusions to reduce turbulence on the legs. Large reflective logos on the side of the legs and a smaller reflective logo at the rear ensure visibility during low-light conditions.

Pricing and Availability

Priced at £260/ $355, the MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts are positioned in the higher reaches of bib shorts pricing, reflecting their premium quality. The shorts are available in sizes XS to XXL and have UPF 50+ protection.

Partnership and Innovation

The MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts are designed and produced in conjunction with Elastic Interface, the Italian chamois specialists, ensuring the highest standards of comfort and performance.

While the functionality of the MAAP Pro 2.0 Bib Shorts' aero materials is yet to be fully tested and validated, early reviews suggest they offer an exceptional cycling experience, with a focus on comfort, support, and aerodynamics.
