Tough trails demand tougher gear—and the Men’s Traction Short delivers. Developed with input from Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, these shorts are built from abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch fabric with fast-drying yarns and laser-perforated vents to keep airflow high. At just 168 grams—59 grams lighter than before—they’re as light as they are tough. A curved waistband and snap closure provide a secure fit, while multiple pockets keep essentials close. Bonus: an iron-on patch for quick fixes.

Makes switching chainrings very easy… although you do need a specific tool for the job.
The new price for a replacement for my gen2 is silly. This one is better price and works, you just have to swap the bash guard and bumper at top. This is a better price and I also got a sale discount. much more reasonable. Thanks!
I'm glad I bought these guards. They do what they're made for: No more bruised or bloody ankles from smacking rocks or cranks. I do have to say, however, that the photo seems a little misleading to me. I thought these would have a smooth finish like other G-Form products, based on the photo. Instead, they are fabric, so only time will tell on durability.
