Thin padding but not bad when on sale for $30

The main function of cycling shorts is the padding / wicking material in the crotch. If you get that wrong, nothing else matters. The padding in these shorts (and I avoid using the term chamois for a good reason)--is just not good. It is too thin. It is not dense enough. It is not very absorbent. It's the same cheap material that is found in most if not all super cheap / cheaper shorts. And, if I had never owned / worn shorts with a proper / better chamois, I probably wouldn't have a problem with these. But I have. So I do. I can't imagine that the cost to use a better / proper chamois could be THAT much more. But I guess Specialized reserves that better material for their "premium" products...?

Recommend this short

This is an excellent bike short! I bought it on sale so it almost feels like a steel (the original price is also fair compared to other well known brands and also products you see on Amazon). The material feels very smooth and nice to the skin. Padding is pretty good. I can ride many miles without feeling sore hotspot. Highly recommend!

Very Uncomfortable

This is my first pair of cycling shorts, so I can only compare it to regular running shorts. These are really uncomfortable, my butt hurts even more than while wearing running shorts. I bought these, as I started 40 mile rides and I would not recommend them. When I sit, it scruffs up towards the front, creating a really uncomfortable sitting experience.

Does the job well

These are great, super comfy and the padding fits just right adding cushion for your sensitive bits. These hold up well as well - though I recommend air drying them as the grippy part can come off if using a machine dryer. Material and build are overall really good and last a long time.

Men’s RBX shorts

I find that these RBX shorts run small, as I have found most cycling apparel does, so I moved up a size, but still, the Legs are soooo tight compared to other Specialized , as well as other brands I own. This design in shorts is for muscle support and to minimize shorts moving up- but these RBX would not be ones I recommend-

OK, but not as good as the old RBX Comp shorts

I bought a couple pair of these since my old ones had been in use for many years. The new ones were OK, but not as good as the old ones. Still looking for a good pair of road shorts. I have tried the cheaper Pearl Izumi shorts and didn't care for them either. Haven't tried any $!50+ yet, but may pop for a pair and see if they are better.

Terribly uncomfortable

I ride over 1,000 miles a week and these cycling shorts are terribly uncomfortable. I can't ride my bike any longer than 2 hours wearing them before I get saddle sores (sore butt and chafing in the crotch and inner-thighs area). Every couple hours, I need to pull over on the side of the road and get off my bike to rest my butt.

Pricks Your Skin As You Move

Most uncomfortable bike short I've ever work. They actually hurt. The padding is so cheaply made that the stitching digs into your skin. Very dangerous to be on a bike wearing these short. Specialized employees who ride should be made to wear these before they send them out. I'm so disappointed that Specialized would put out such an inferior product. It makes me wonder about everything else they're selling.

Good price for shorts suitable for shorter rides

These shorts are OK for the price (on sale). However, I have a couple of the exact same model of shorts which are about a year or two older and which I really like but the newer ones feel like the material is thinner and maybe the size is a tad smaller (I wear size Medium - 5’9” and 163 lbs). They are very tight around the quads. Pad is fairly comfortable and seems to wick some sweat away. OK for a 2 hour or so ride but these would not be my first choice for a long 3+ hour ride.

These bike shorts are good. Grip is good on the thighs and the padding is fine. I found that the shorts come down often in transition from standing up while pedaling as they rub on the bike seat. Result is the padding isn’t where it needs to be, and I have to pull the shorts up, often. Perhaps I need a small and not a medium. Everything else is good.

RBX Comp bibs seem to be a thing, but bibs are not for everyone. These are still better than a lot of other shorts out there, I was happy to buy them on sale.
