Kollektion: MTB-Shorts

(33)

This collection features a range of mountain bike shorts designed for different riding styles and conditions. You'll find trail shorts with durable construction for all-mountain riding, enduro-specific shorts with enhanced abrasion resistance, and lightweight cross-country options. Many styles include integrated or compatible CE-certified armor pockets, moisture-wicking fabrics, and strategic ventilation zones to keep you protected and comfortable on technical descents and challenging climbs.

Yes, many shorts in this collection are designed to accommodate CE-certified hip and thigh protection. Some models come with integrated armor pockets that accept Alpinestars' removable impact protectors, while others can be worn over separate protective underlayers. This modular approach allows you to customize your protection level based on riding discipline and trail difficulty. For maximum protection on aggressive terrain, pair these shorts with items from our MTB protection collection.

To maintain the technical performance and durability of your MTB shorts, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Remove any CE-certified armor inserts before washing. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents that can degrade moisture-wicking properties and technical fabrics. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron directly on logos or technical fabric panels. Proper care ensures long-lasting performance of abrasion-resistant materials and water-repellent treatments.

Alpinestars MTB shorts utilize advanced technical fabrics engineered for mountain biking demands. Common materials include high-tenacity polyester and nylon blends with four-way stretch for unrestricted movement, reinforced ripstop panels in high-wear zones for abrasion resistance, and moisture-wicking fibers to manage perspiration during intense riding. Many styles feature DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatments to shed light rain and trail spray. Strategic laser perforations and mesh zones provide targeted ventilation while maintaining durability on challenging terrain.

While specifically engineered for mountain biking with features like reinforced seat panels and armor compatibility, many shorts in this collection are versatile enough for various cycling activities. Trail and all-mountain shorts work well for general recreational riding and bike park sessions. However, for road cycling or gravel riding, you may prefer styles from our broader cycling shorts collection that offer different fit profiles and features optimized for those disciplines. The MTB-specific construction excels in off-road environments where durability and protection are paramount.
