The Santini Nova Absolute Bib Shorts combine medium-compression technical fabric with the signature GITevo chamois to deliver balanced muscle support and lasting medium-distance comfort.
Engineered for cyclists who demand high performance without sacrificing style, the Santini Nova Absolute bib shorts feature a refined aesthetic with sleek side bands and a tailored rear panel. Constructed from a supportive medium-compression fabric, they offer optimal muscle support while preserving complete freedom of movement on every ride. Super-elastic straps sit comfortably across the shoulders, and the elastic leg bands with internal grip keep the cuffs securely locked in place during intense training efforts.
At the heart of the comfort system is the integrated GITevo chamois, designed specifically to absorb road vibrations and provide continuous support on medium-distance training blocks. Thoughtful details like reflective elements on the back enhance visibility during early morning or late evening rides, making these bib shorts a dependable staple for your weekly cycling kit.

✅ Balanced Compression: Ideal for cyclists seeking supportive muscle compression without aggressive race-day tightness.
✅ Enhanced Visibility: Integrated reflective rear details boost safety in low-light conditions.
❌ Ultra-Endurance Specialists: Riders tackling massive multi-hour gran fondos may prefer top-tier pads like the C3 for maximum protection.

❌ Non-Bib Preferences: Cyclists who dislike shoulder straps will require traditional waist knicks instead.
Always wash your technical bib shorts on a cool 30°C cycle using a gentle liquid detergent. Skip fabric softeners entirely, as chemical residues coat the moisture-wicking fibers and degrade the elasticity of your compression fabric and chamois over time
