Race Face Indy short

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"A well made, durable all-rounder that’s simple to adjust"

Sun 10 May 2009, 12:00 pm UTCBy Russell Burton, Mountain Biking UK

Race Face's Indy is a well made short with fabric that has suitable heft and durability but still feels supple when riding.

We particularly liked the soft lined waistband with its high back and simple tweak-to-fit adjusters. A stretch panel on the back combines with a shaped yoke at the front to create a neat fit that won’t catch you out.

Overall the cut is easy but not excessive. This gives enough room for your moves on the bike, and also enough style for a striking silhouette off it.

The Indy isn’t cheap for a shell short without a liner, but it is good quality in terms of the fabric and construction, and will work across all terrain – plus that understated style will look good off the bike too.
