As we continue to grow and expand our line, we're committed to being inclusive and creating gear for all women-identifying adventurers. That includes bringing you durable and technical options for different budgets.
To help you select the best piece for your riding style, your budget and your trail swag, we've created a handy comparison chart to learn more about our full line of women's mountain bike bottoms.
THE FREEL
Our flagship short, the Freel, has been Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Year and is beloved by mountain bikers everywhere, from the Alps to the Bitterroots. Made with shrub-resistant and mud-deflecting nylon, the Freel is an enduro-ready short that seamlessly takes you from the red rocks of Moab to the loamy singletrack of the PNW. With four-way stretch, deep pockets, and our unique collection of playful prints, the Freel is a beautifully designed short that is still technical as hell. No compromises—it’s our favorite workhorse.
the freel flex
NOW AVAILABLE IN SIZES 14-24!
Our flagship short, the Freel, just got more flex and a broader size range with our new Freel FLEX. Everything you love about the OG Freel, but with a more flexible, elastic-back waistband.
THE FREDA
Everything women love about the Freel, but in a shorter 7" inseam. Same fabric, same prints, same great side pockets, but a slightly re-tooled fit to accommodate a shorter inseam.
THE FREYAH
Finally, a true bike pant for women. These pants will take you from the sweltering heat of the bike park in the summer months, to cool fall rides, or layer-up for winter biking in the snow. They are incredibly versatile, so don't be afraid to rock them while nordic skiing or on-piste skinning. Packed with breathability, durability and style, the Freyah is constructed from our signature DuraStretch 4-way stretch nylon found in our flagship Freel shorts. These pants are loaded with features to meet women's needs!
THE KAWEAH
We don’t believe in compromise, which is why we made the Kaweah women’s mountain bike short: a do-everything, go-anywhere short that will keep you on the bike during those long summer evenings or chilly fall mornings. The Kaweah is designed with a durable 90% recycled poly/10% spandex blend to give you a breathable mountain bike short that wicks sweat while moving with your pedal stroke. A PVF-Free DWR finish ensures that even the muddiest puddles won’t dampen your style.
the kendall
Now in the shorter length you know and love from our Freda, the new Kendall Short is designed with a durable 90% recycled poly/10% spandex blend to give you a breathable do-everything short that wicks sweat while moving with your pedal stroke. A DWR finish ensures that even the muddiest puddles won’t dampen your style.
the riley lightweight short
This extra lightweight short is everything you need and nothing you don't for a good day on the trails. The new Riley features an elastic back on the waistband for a little extra forgiveness around the midsection. The Riley features 160gsm of recycled poly / spandex blend for a perfect, breathable ride.

the baddie bib
We're officially entering that bib life. For all you bib evangelists, we're carrying over the same high end fabric you've grown to love on the Alice and Alyssa, but adding the extra security of mesh over-the-shoulder straps to hold everything into place. Thoughtfully designed paneling and mesh placements are tailored perfectly for a woman's body while still maintaining movement and breathability.

THE ALYSSA
The Alyssa chammy carries over all of our favorite features from the Alice —hello high waist and world-class Italian chammy -- but with more coverage via the new 9" inseam length. Made with soft and compressive nylon, the Alyssa Chammy was designed to keep you going on long, multi-day rides so you can stop thinking about your chammy pad and start enjoying those high alpine views.
THE ALICE
Is it bragging to say this is our best chammy yet? No, embrace your worth! But seriously, the Alice chammy carries over some of our favorite features while making some critical improvements—hello high waist and world-class Italian chammy. We’ve reduced excess silicone at the waist without sacrificing security, and adjusted the leg bands to eliminate the dreaded sausage leg. Made with soft and compressive nylon, the Alice Chammy was designed to keep you going on long, multi-day rides so you can stop thinking about your chammy pad and start enjoying those high alpine views.
the eleanor
Vibrant and versatile, our Eleanor is DTR (down to ride) anything. With two side pockets, it's perfect for wearing on its own at spin class, or on some single track or under your favorite baggies. Eleanor has a 6" inseam and is made from a buttery smooth, breathable and compressive recycled poly/spandex blend.

the alturas aprés short
Is there a better feeling than getting back to the car and stripping off a sweaty chammy? We don’t think so, which is why we designed the Alturas Après Short, the perfect do-anything-go-anywhere short that’s easy to pull on behind the car door (don’t worry, we’ll look the other way!). The Alturas is made from sustainable, lightweight recycled poly and boasts extra deep pockets and a wide waistband. Its four inches of length offers just the right amount of coverage. This unlined short can take you from the post ride tail gate to the beach and anywhere in between—let your daily sense of adventure guide you!
Wild Rye Fabrics
We only use premium fabrics so your shorts will last a lifetime and won't end up in the landfill. Get to know our core bike fabrics and what makes them both durable and comfortable for long days in the saddle.
WRDuraflex Nylon
This blend is literally indestructible and until now, we haven't found a fabric that merges comfort, durability and breathability so well. Used in the Freel and Freda shorts, the WRDuraflex Nylon (our premium fabric) stretches exactly where you need it to while also feeling breathable, lightweight and durable, for those of us that end up eating dirt often! It will dry quickly when you get sweaty or wet from a creek crossing and has UPF 50 for those hot summer days on the trail. These fit true to size.
WRBomber Stretch Poly
This fabric is silky smooth to the touch and the interior has a soft-brushed feel so it doesn't cling to sweaty legs. With slightly less stretch than the Freel's, this poly blend is lightweight and has enough stretch to not restrict movement in the saddle. It's also very breathable for those hot and humid days. Since this fabric runs a little small, we recommend sizing up in these shorts.
WRCountour Nylon
Used in our Alice & Alyssa Chammies, this luxurious nylon/spandex blend has enough compression to hold everything in place without creating sausage legs. This fabric is breathable yet opaque so can be worn as a stand-alone short or under your baggies. It's so comfy, you won't even notice you're wearing a chammy!
