In high-performance cycling, the choice of equipment can make the difference between victory and defeat. At Gobik, after several years of experience dressing the best teams in the world, we know this all too well. That's why we have launched our most advanced cycling shorts to date: The Gobik Lancer.
Developed in collaboration with the INEOS Grenadiers and tested by their best riders, Gobik Lancer is the ultimate expression of innovation, technology and performance.
We analyzed its performance, construction and materials, key to its behavior and comfort in real use, here the result.
First Impression and Fit
The first time I put on the Gobik Lancer, I immediately felt the difference. The stretchy lycra fit my legs perfectly, offering firm but comfortable compression. The second-skin feel was instantly apparent, with no uncomfortable pressure points or annoying seams.
From the moment I put it on, I noticed how lightweight it is. At only 170g in size M, it barely feels against the skin, but at the same time provides incredible support. The ergonomic, seamless shoulder straps fit effortlessly against the body, without creating any discomfort in the shoulders. The breathable mesh back opening keeps you cool even before you start riding.
On the Road Sensations
I decided to put my Lancer cycling shorts to the test on a long and demanding route, with some mountain passes. From the first kilometer, the chamois K12 Graphene by Elastic Interface® did its job: total comfort with no feeling of excessive pressure. Over long distances, the combination of different densities and its anatomical curvature made the difference, allowing me to keep up the pace without discomfort.
Another key aspect is breathability. Despite the heat, the lightweight fabric allows for optimal evacuation of sweat, and the graphene thread in the shoulder straps prevents moisture accumulation. Even after several hours, the shorts are still dry and light, without that sticky feeling that tends to appear in lesser quality shorts.
Adaptability and Support
The extended legs (+2 cm compared to other models) provide extra support and compression in the thighs, which gives me a feeling of greater muscle stability in each pedal stroke. The silicone-free inner grip keeps the shorts in place without the need for constant adjustments, something I really appreciate on long rides.
Conclusion
The Gobik Lancer has raised my expectations of what a performance short can offer. Its combination of lightweight, perfect fit and cutting-edge technology make it my preferred choice for intensive training and racing. If you're looking for a garment that fits like a second skin and maximizes your performance on the road, these shorts are a sure bet.
