X-Bionic The Trick 4.0 Cycling Shorts Women

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Intercooler

  The thigh muscles are an important cooling zone of the human body. However, the large muscle is prone to cooling down easily, especially under harsh conditions.
  Large-scale welding management.
  This 3D construction collects perspiration on the upper thigh and maintains it directly upon the skin so it can evaporate optimally while directly on this muscle group. Between periods of exertion, the Intercooler's rib technology lies in a wavelike structure on the muscle to provide insulation. The locked-in air protects the muscles from overcooling.

• Sweat Traps®

  Of the up to three million sweat glands on our skin, up to 300 per square centimetre are located within the armpit. Everyone knows what happens here during a run. Already when warming up the muscles, the sweat begins to trickle.
  Catches wetness before it becomes palpable.
  Large dimensioned sweat traps, ergonomically positioned based on laboratory tests, prevent the moisture from dripping and provide active cooling.

• Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®

  The inner thighs are less cold-active in terms of muscle performance.
  Efficient cooling no matter what the conditions
  Air permeability is increased in this area through the Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®, the insulation layer is reduced, so air conditioning is strengthened by air exchange.

• Cohesion Wrap® Technology

  The dermis of the woman is more elastic and weaker than that of the man. In the subcutis there are many stretchable fat cells, which absorb more acids and waste products. Collagen fibres, which are responsible for the tear resistance of the skin, are located parallel to each other in women, but in men they are interwoven to form a kind of stable network. This is why growing fat cells on the hips, thighs, buttocks and arms can push through between the collagen fibres and form dents.
  Targeted effect for the female anatomy.
  Cohesion-Wrap-Technology® offers connective tissue support and hold. It gives female connective tissue from the exterior what it lacks: stability. Its compression and the special zonal structure ensures less lactic acid can penetrate tissues. This further supports lymphatic flow and can reduce dimpling.

• Comfort4000FX Bike Pad

  The Comfort4000 FX bike pad is anatomically shaped and perfectly adapts to the female anatomy. In this way, pressure-sensitive blood vessels and nerves are relieved. The pad is not simply sewn on, as is the case with conventional cycling shorts. X-BIONIC® cuts out the seat pad during the production of the shorts and then sews it in by hand, so that the fit and elasticity of the pad is not affected by the fabric of the shorts. This guarantees fit and comfort never experienced before.
  Leave the suffering to your opponents.
  The Comfort4000 FX Bike Pad is anatomically formed and fits the female anatomy perfectly. With it, pressure is removed from sensitive capillaries and nerves.

• THE TRICK®

  The thermoscan illustrates the local heating of the spine as a result of the insulation elements of THE TRICK®. The thermo camera records the radiation from heat sources. Cool colours mean high insulation, warm colours mean high heat emission. With The Trick®, the developers at X-BIONIC® have found a new, superior way to thermoregulate. The insulation zone along the spine simulates an overheating of the body, which encourages the brain to start cooling and thus sweat production earlier. Result: More energy for your performance.
  Earlier cooling. Better performance.
  To address this issue, X-BIONIC® developed THE TRICK®. A special weave along the spinal column simulates overheating of the body. As a result, the brain triggers sweat production long before overheating can occur. Early sweating permits more effective cooling that sustains energy reserves.

• Thorny Devil Technology

  Why shouldn't humans also have the ability to transport moisture across their skin? For example, to move sweat to zones where cooling is particularly necessary? What seems like science fiction has actually been achieved by the developers at X-BIONIC®
  Cools your body like the dickens.
  The Thorny Devil Technology guides sweat directly to heat-intensive muscle areas where it evaporates for an optimal cooling effect. What may at first appear to be like a science fiction movie has now actually been achieved by X-BIONIC®

• ISO pads

  11 channels each form the ISO pads at the hips and even extend over the waistband. Large areas of the organs are thus protected from the cold. In winter, it is possible to protect the body from freezing by specifically insulating individual body parts from ambient cold. Thus the ISO pads over the hip bones and also the finer ISO pads on the buttocks keep the warmth on the body, which is necessary to guarantee the internal organ functions. At regular intervals, the ribs of the ISO pads drape over the shoulders, keeping warmth on the body and protecting against chilling. This is where a lot of heat is lost with conventional jackets, because the weight of the jacket or backpack compresses the insulation material so that it loses its effect.
  More insulation area
  ISO pads enable targeted insulation of individual body parts from a cold environment. By retaining body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ functions the temperature-regulating zones prevent the cooling down of the whole body.

• 3D Bionic Sphere® System with ThermoSyphon® Technology

  Depending on the ambient temperature, functional clothing must ensure reliable thermoregulation even when performance is sustained. Only an enlarged evaporation area and efficient sweat management guarantee an optimal skin climate even under load. The idea is to reduce sweat, not to prevent it.
  Unique and extremely effective temperature management.
  The patented ThermoSyphon® structure adds an extra dimension to the special properties of the 3D Bionic Sphere® system: Y-shaped elements support natural thermodynamics and thus improve sweat management.

• IDEO-Waistband

  During continuous movement, slipping functional underwear can lead to annoying friction. Only outstanding material and an optimal fit guarantee a performance-enhancing sense of well-being.
  Ideally designed, ergonomically optimized.
  The ideally designed, ergonomically optimised waistband, with higher cut in the back, keeps the garment in place even during constant movements.

• Sweat Collector

  Functional zones need to be manufactured intelligently and positioned with pinpoint accuracy in order to work precisely.
  Ducts moisture away
  The Air-Conditioning Channel® on the inside of the arm dissipates heat at a controlled rate. The fine knitted structure immediately ducts moisture away.

• Sweat Distributor with Partialkompression®

  For functional clothing to cool effectively, we need to understand the body's own thermoregulation and be able to combine intelligent compression technologies with optimal sweat management.
  More cooling thanks to synergy effects
  The combination of X-BIONIC® Partialkompression® and knit-in ridges collects excess sweat and allows it to evaporate over a broad area to provide extra cooling for heat-intensive muscle areas.

• Sweat Transporter

  Intelligent functional wear does not leave the cooling effect to chance, but controls the sweat management in a way that thermoregulatory effects occur exactly there where they are most urgently needed.
  For the largest possible cooling effect
  Sweat Transporters ensure that sweat can evaporate exactly there, where it can have the largest possible cooling effect on overheated muscles.

• Two-Step Front 3D Bionic Sphere® System

  An excess of sweat, which is not transported away by the functional underwear but accumulates unpleasantly on the skin, leads to irritation and limits the well-being, which is essential for optimal performance.
  Scientific solutions ensure at any time the optimal body temperature.
  The high-tech knitting technology ensures optimal support and climate comfort in the shorts. The varied ribbing and surface construction are able to solve the conflict between providing support whilst transporting moisture and heat.
