Our crowd-pleasing Carbon V2 bibs just got an upgrade. Now made from recycled materials and a more durable mesh top, but with the same classic Carbon fit, feel and PERFORMance.
The carbon v2 bib shorts have been our best-selling bibs for the last 5 years and are the only shorts to receive a 10/10 rating from road.cc So we had to think long and hard about any improvements we could make. Rather than focusing on the fit and feel which you have come to love and expect, we turned our attention to the components that make them a wardrobe essential. Recycled fabrics now make up the shorts, whilst retaining the suppleness and stretch that make these bibs fit like an instant classic. A new material has been used to make up the mesh bib top with an improved fibre content. High polypropylene content makes the mesh lighter, softer and more durable than its predecessor, perfect for a pair of daily essentials. It also wicks sweat away faster and is exclusively used on these bib shorts. The extra wide sewn on grippers are directly woven with silicon for stability during your toughest sessions. Paired with our Perform pad which is now made from recycled materials.

The Lusso difference
Tight at first but comfortable almost unnoticeable in use. I had a (pre Lusso) abrasion problem with my bib shorts liner but these new Perform shorts were faultless. Great fit, good fabric, good design. Early days yet but if durability is as reviews, I know what my next pair will be.
Disapointed. First pair sent out had leg stiched together so sent back. Waited another week to get replacments. After few rides have found the stiching on the pad makes me sore so on the whole, disapointed after reading good reviews.
Hey Rob- Thanks for the feedback. We sent you out a replacement pair the same day your faulty ones were received back, apologies again for the inconvenience we did all we could to rectify the issue ASAP. As for the pad stitching, we use a narrow gauge zig zag machine that produces a small stitch that sits flush with the top of the pad. The stitching should not be in contact with your skin anyway, so in my opinion a modification in pad placement or size would resolve the issue which we can offer as an additional service. If you wash the shorts a few times you will notice the pad soften up a bit as well, which might also help with overall comfort :)
I like the design and overall fit . Quite snug in the thighs but after a few minutes you don’t notice any restriction.
The materials allow nice airflow all round and well thought low front for obvious call to nature if required.
The chamois does what you’d hope for , takes a couple of rides for it to form to your geometry, use a good chamois cream.
Having read so many good reviews I’m rather disappointed. The material has marks in it - at best the shorts should have been sold as seconds. The fit isn’t as good as any of my previous Lusso shorts - the inseam is a little too long for me and the gripper is a little loose.
Hey Peter-
Have you tried reaching out to our customers services before posting this review? We would be happy to replace or refund your order, the logo imprint is not something we have knowlindly let through QC and you should not have receieved it. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
This is my second pair of Lusso Perform Carbon Bib Shorts, and for good reason. My first pair lasted so long that I literally wore them out !!
As soon as these arrived, I put them to the test with a 100-mile ride, and as expected, they did not disappoint.
The quality is fantastic, offering a perfect balance of comfort, durability, and style. The fit is excellent, and they provide great support throughout long rides. For the price, they’re incredible value, easily competing with top-tier brands. Lusso continues to impress and I would highly recommended!
