FAQ
Why wear cycling shorts?
When it comes to cycling, cycling shorts are the be-all and end-all. Just a few minutes in the saddle will make a difference. No matter how high the intensity when riding, the body weight always weighs equally on the saddle - when trail riding with a mountain bike or in city traffic with an e-bike. The cycling pants are the core piece of equipment that determines the success or failure of the bike tour. Compared to everyday clothes and simple training clothes, cycling pants offer the following advantages:
- Seat padding to protect the buttocks and pubic bone
- Breathability for optimal body climate
- Less friction, due to reduced seams
- Faster drying due to functional material
- More comfort
- SITIVO BLUE – upright: relaxed touring with optimal back posture
- SITIVO GREEN – compact: for moderate cycling with slight flexion, e.g. on a trekking bike or mountain bike
- SITIVO RED – sporty: aerodynamically forward bent position on the road bike

GONSO cycling pants are high-tech specimens that are perfectly tailored to the needs of every cyclist and offer a much better cycling experience through the highest possible comfort and relief.
What's the story behind the SITIVO cycling shorts concept?
The GONSO DNA runs through the entire product range. For example, the development team has succeeded in optimizing cycling pants not according to the choice of saddle, as is usually the case, but according to the riding position. This has a decisive influence on the distribution of one's own weight and represents the actual starting point for optimization processes. The SITIVO cycling shorts concept can be divided into 3 individual seating positions:
With pad inserts made of Poron®, punctual damping of body weight is achieved and shocks are effectively absorbed. The material used in the cycling shorts is a highly resistant and versatile high-tech foam that was originally developed for cushioning in industrial equipment and is far superior to other padding materials commonly used in the textile industry. The innovative seat cushion technology was developed to achieve an ideal balance of stability and comfort on the saddle
The three variants differ in terms of foaming, volume and the punctual use of Poron® cushioning.
What is important when it comes to cycling shorts for the long haul?
If you are planning a bike tour of several days, the question of the outfit quickly moves to the center. An important aspect in the choice of clothing is the bike shorts. A perfect fit is indispensable. Sounds banal, but can turn out to be very helpful. As soon as a seam chafes or rubs only minimally, this may not be a big deal in the short term, but on a multi-day tour it can quickly become a pain. So trust an optimally fitting pair of cycling shorts and allow your next trip to be a unique outdoor experience.
When you sit for a long time, your buttocks suffer. So too with longer bike rides. Without effective cushioning for your body weight, it quickly becomes painful. So rely on a pair of cycling shorts with padding that protects all around.
In addition, the bike pants should be breathable and quick drying. You really don't need pants that are still sweaty from the day before. A true hero is a pair of pants that is quickly ready for use again and always tempered.
