The Canopic Race is built for riders who want a cleaner, more minimalist setup on their big efforts. The shorter inseam reduces friction at the back of the knee during high-cadence pedalling, and the 50mm lay-flat straps hold everything snugly in place without bulk. Two large thigh pockets carry your essentials without the rear jersey pockets getting in the way.

The Montu Endurance Pro chamois is rated for 7+ hours — proving that a race-oriented bib doesn’t have to sacrifice comfort. Highly breathable fabric and premium flatlock seams keep things comfortable across gravel, road, or whatever distance you’re chasing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a cargo bibshort?

A cargo bibshort is a standard bibshort with integrated cargo pockets — usually on the thighs — for carrying your phone, food, tools, or a packable layer without relying on jersey pockets. The Canopic Race has two large thigh pockets.

Will my phone fit in the pockets?

Yes. Pocket size was a primary design criterion for all Montu cargo bibs — they comfortably fit a full-size smartphone without the risk of it ejecting on rough roads or gravel.

What chamois is used?

The Montu Endurance Pro chamois, rated for 7+ hours in the saddle. More info on our chamois page.

How does the sizing run?

The Canopic Race runs slightly smaller and shorter than our Canopic Evo bibs. See the fit guide for full measurements. Adrian (6’0″, 170 lbs) wears a Medium; Josh (5’8″, 156 lbs) wears a Small.

Are these suitable for gravel riding?

Absolutely. The thigh pocket placement and chamois rating make them a natural choice for gravel days — the cargo pockets are especially useful when you need tools and nutrition accessible on rough terrain.

These are hands down my goto bib.

Just bought my second pair and can definitely attest that these are true to size in the best of ways. I’m 5’9”, 175-180 lbs and medium fit like a dream. The perfect amount of snugness and the chamois sits exactly where you want it to and has kept everything comfortable on day long rides, no problem. You don’t even notice the straps while riding. They’re soft and with no seams, you never feel them moving around.

Cargo pockets are amazing and make fueling even easier, or carrying small gear.

Slightly shorter legs are also a plus in design as you really don’t notice them whilst pedaling.

After a couple of rides they're my new favourite bibs. Super light, fit great and you can barely tell they're there. I'll be replacing all of my worn out bibs with these (and other non-cargo options) from now on!
