The Velocio Luxe bib shorts are the brand’s best-selling women’s bib shorts, and for good reason, they are excellent.
Since the first prototype was developed in 2017, the Luxe bibs have evolved to cater to women’s riding needs, with Velocio saying that the latest iteration of short offers excellent updates and adjustments.

Design and aesthetics
The Luxe bib shorts are made from three-panels which Velocio says eliminates unnecessary seams and reduces chafe points.
The fabric is a blend of polyamide and elastane which the brand says results in an ultra-high gauge lycra. This fabric is nicely compressive which helps with muscle support while also offering excellent opacity, and a stylish matte finish.
As mentioned, the Luxe bibs are designed for hours in the saddle and a major element to this is the chamois which was developed with Cytech. The brand says it provides ample comfort for long distance riding.
A key feature of the Luxe bibs i s the nature break feature which Velocio calls FlyFree. This works by extra elastic bib straps and extra material on the rear of the shorts which allow for riders to simply pull down the shorts, negating any need to remove layers.
Notably the bib straps are connected by a mesh panel, but this doesn’t hinder the FlyFree mechanism.
The design of the shorts is sleek, minimal and timeless, with raw-cut leg hems which amplify this as does the minimal branding.
