If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your kit, this is one deal worth acting on. As part of the Sigma Winter Sale, the hugely popular Rapha Core Bib Shorts II are now available from just £78, saving you up to 35% off the £120 RRP. This is a limited-time offer, and stock is expected to move fast.
The Rapha Core range has long been a favourite among everyday road cyclists, sportive riders and weekend café-stop regulars, thanks to its balance of premium materials, clean design and all-day comfort. The second-generation Core Bib Shorts build on that reputation with refined fabrics and improved construction, making them one of the best value upgrades you can add to your cycling wardrobe this season.
At the heart of the Rapha Core Bib Shorts II is a re-engineered Italian chamois designed to absorb road buzz and reduce fatigue over long distances. Whether you’re stacking winter base miles or squeezing in quick training rides after work, the chamois delivers consistent comfort without feeling bulky.
The dense-knit Italian fabric provides light compression that supports your muscles kilometre after kilometre, helping legs feel fresher for longer. It also resists transparency and manages moisture effectively, keeping you dry and comfortable as efforts ramp up. Laser-cut leg hems with discreet silicone grippers ensure the shorts stay perfectly in place, eliminating annoying ride-up and pressure points.
Up top, the lightweight and breathable stretch upper holds everything securely without restricting movement or breathing. The result is a clean, supportive fit that works just as well on long summer rides as it does during indoor sessions or fast winter training loops.
This deal applies to both the men’s and women’s versions of the Rapha Core Bib Shorts II, making it a great opportunity to refresh your kit or match with a riding partner. With a regular fit designed to suit a wide range of body types, most riders can confidently choose their usual size.

With a recommended temperature range of 7 to 32°C, the Rapha Core Bib Shorts II are versatile enough for British spring and summer riding, as well as milder winter days paired with leg warmers. From rough back lanes to smooth tarmac loops, they’re designed to handle it all in understated Rapha style.
