GTO marks the pinnacle of the Total Comfort MILLE GT line - spiritual successor to the iconic CENTO and Campionissimo Bib Shorts. It features the plushest, most responsive and breathable ASSOS insert to date, wrapped in our new frictionless, wrinkle-free paneling. The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard).
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
With large-muscle support, friction, and excessive pressure remaining critical issues on long-duration rides, GTO destroys conventional bib short construction formulas. We reversed stitch lines and radically reshaped the insert to eliminate friction and genital pressure, while providing matchless muscle support with tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that mirror your personal physique.
Cold legs equal less circulation, and less circulation equals reduced performance. So when the temperature dips, pull on a pair of the SL Pro Thermal Bib Tights. They feature Italian ThermoRoubaix, brushed-back, stretch fleece that's soft, warm, and compressive—making them the perfect option for chilly training rides.
And to top off the comfort, we've used our Body Geometry 3D Contour Chamois with a variable density design that places support and padding where you need it, not where you don't.
- Fabric Content: MAIN: 52% Polyamide, 32% Polyester, 16% Elastane; OTHER: 55% Polyamide, 28% Polyester, 17% Elastane
- Made from ThermoRoubaix brushed-back stretch fleece, these Bib Tights provide compressive warmth and a soft feel against the skin.

The next evolution in total comfort for winter bib tights, refined with increased insulation and a deeper, plusher insert.
The new RX EVO Plus textile is the most insulating of the RX Evo family. The added insulating qualities of RX EVO Plus textile handle colder conditions than the previous model, reducing the gap to the ULTRAZ counterpart without risking overheating in all but winter's worst weather. The new material breathes well to maintain a dry, warm microclimate, and the new model is also updated with our MILLE GT C2 insert, which adds 2mm of plush comfort for long rides maintaining form or building base miles for the coming season.

Our Sorpasso tight is our workhorse performance tight for the cyclist who rides seriously right through the winter months. With the Sorpasso Wind we add a GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fleece-backed panel covering your most sensitive parts as well as your thigh muscles to keep them at ideal operating temperature. While many wind tights will sacrifice fit or comfort or breathability for that wind protection, the two-way stretch of this fabric combined with careful patterning makes for minimal compromise and maximum comfort.
Everything else on this tight represents our commitment to performance and comfort: the non-windproof parts are in Nano Flex 3G and Nano Flex Xtra Dry to provide stretch, warmth, breathability, and our proprietary water-repellent finish. They're the best tights fabrics we've developed to date. The seat pad is our top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air for comfort on long rides, and the bib construction is designed for comfort as well. Large reflective panels at the back of the ankle provide moving reflectivity that is more noticeable to approaching cars.
This is the tight for you if subfreezing temperatures aren't going to hold you back.
- Nano Flex 3G fabric for our best mix of warmth, stretchy compression, softness and water repellency
- GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Fast fleece-backed fabric panel on the upper front and thighs for extra warmth
- Nano Flex 3G back panel to protect from road spray
- Anatomic cut to hips and knee
- Reflective inserts for maximum visibility from behind
- Lie-flat elastic bib straps
- YKK Camlock zippers at ankles
Crafted with long ride comfort at the top of the list, we paired our all new Levitate PRO Chamois with luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric to create a bib short that you will choose for your most important rides.

The entry into our Race Series, EQUIPE R combines technology from the EQUIPE RS system with simplified, everyday utility.

Monofilament elastic in the bib straps reduces weight and dries faster than dual-layer models, and the shorts are equipped with our core racing insert.

Innovative evolution
The Free Aero RC Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number.
It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original free aero race bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Gri d'Italia, one Vuelta, and San Remo, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well.
The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary.
You feel free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation.
You feel free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate skincare layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin.
You feel free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back.
You feel free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made.
The Forza 2 fabric has 32% lycra with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are either stitched or embossed for durability.
- High-compression 215g Forza 2 fabric with 32% lycra content provides exceptional muscle support and compression
- Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort
- Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders
- Rear mesh pocket
- 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing
- Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade
- Reflective piping on back of legs
- Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort
- Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers
The perfect mix of comfort and speed. It's engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider.

Hitting the road and riding in the cold takes a special kind of dedication and mental fortitude. But with this in mind, we built our Women's Element Cycling Bib Tights to be your perfect training partner this winter.
To start, they're partly made from one of the most protective, warming materials in the business—Element Soft Shell. This material is extremely wind- and water-resistant, and it's also highly efficient at wicking moisture away from the skin, while remaining soft against the skin and quite breathable. And to further protect against the cold, select panels of the tights are constructed from our insulating Therminal fabric.
Both materials possess the perfect amount of stretch, which complements the articulated cycling cut of the tights. Essentially, this all adds up to a complete freedom of movement throughout the motions of cycling, and this equates to the elimination of any rubbing, pinching, or chafing. And to ease entry and exit of the tights, we've also included an eight-inch ankle zipper.
For the insert, you'll find our Women's Body Geometry 3D Contour Chamois. It features a variable density design that places support and padding where you need it, not where you don't. Additionally, the chamois has a brushed face, providing a touch of added warmth and moisture management.
- Element Soft Shell is a knit fabric with remarkable insulating properties, as well as being wind- and water-resistant and highly breathable. We've also included insulating Therminal panels in selective locations of the tights to further the overall warmth.
- Women's-specific articulated cycling fit is designed to complement the body throughout the positions and movements of cycling, which eliminates any unwanted pinching, rubbing, or chafing.
- Ankle gaiter creates a tight seal with either shoes or covers, so cold air won't creep up the leg while you're riding.
- Reflective elements increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.

Meticulous Evolution
The Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number.
The original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced over a decade ago and has logged literally millions of kilometers under the backsides of our sponsored pro riders and has been the best-selling short both in the Castelli retail collection and in our Servizio Corse custom program. Over this time the short has undergone numerous updates and improvements in the never-ending quest to create the best short we can make. While the basic concept of a minimalist workhorse pro-level comfortable race short remains, every single fabric, component, stitch and construction method has been updated and improved over time.
The fourth major generation of the short features the updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. This pad separates a soft, stretchy skin care layer that moves with your body from a generously padded cushioning layer that replicates the form of your saddle. Eight-hour rides are no problem.
Of course the fabrics are premium, made to our specifications by Italy's best fabric suppliers. The Forza fabric on the inner leg features 38% Lycra content for perfect fit, while the Vortex fabric on the side panels is dimpled for aerodynamics. And it's held in place by the latest iteration of our seamless flat Giro leg gripper.
- Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance
- Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit
- Stripe mesh engineered minimalist bib construction keeps you cool
- Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area

Better in cold and dry and better in wet conditions, the new Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric makes this your most technical tight. The base fabric is a tighter-knit double-layer construction, and the water repellency treatment is improved to provide even more protection. We're not quite there yet on our goal of bringing full waterproofness to a non-membrane fabric, but this is a significant improvement in making your foul-weather riding much more comfortable. It will also be your go-to tight for dry conditions, though. It's a no-compromise piece for all your cool-weather riding. But it's not just about the fabric.
This is a serious training tight, so it gets our Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad. For total protection in the high-splash area of the inner leg, we use a fully reflective waterproof fabric that adds a high degree of nighttime safety to this tight. The tight is constructed with the bare minimum of seaming, which helps keep the rain out and also makes it more comfortable. This is the best all-around tight that we know how to make with today's technology.
- Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings new, higher level of water protection
- Double-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes in
- Reflective waterproof splash guards on inside of lower legs
- Double layer over backside protects from water coming off rear wheel
- Fewer seams to reduce chance of water coming in

The next generation in committed riders' bib shorts of choice, defined by its frictionless waist, refined air-cooling insert, and muscle-wrapping textile.
We took this generational redesign as an opportunity to make the MILLE GT better at the things we loved about its predecessor, including our premium X-frame suspension carriage, a refined comfort waist fit, and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively). The insert also got some attention, inheriting the increased ventilation of our GTS/GTO models and receiving 3mm of additional cushioning. We also updated the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex to the Sugar Blue colorway.
