"Subtle strides for on and off the bike – but expensive"

Rapha's trousers are designed to be cycle-friendly but not look out of place when you’re off the bike.

They’re made from a durable polyamide/cotton/polyurethane mix with a touch of crossways give – not stretchy, but enough to allow unhampered pedalling – and they’re cut slim so they don’t flap in the wind.

The seat lining is reinforced for a little extra comfort while a rubber gripper inside the waistband holds them in place as you ride. You get hip pockets, one with an internal compartment, and a zipped one round the back.

Finishing quality is excellent, and as ever with Rapha, they’re expensive, but if you don’t mind spending this kind of money they’re more comfortable for riding than normal civvies. Available in 30-38in waist sizes, 34in leg.

  • Just one leg length? Good job we all have 34 inch legs.

  • These rock, more like 'Rapha Jeans' though

  • Sure, they're a nice cut. Yes, they only have one length which is crap. But above all, once washed, they fluff up all over. Especially around the pockets. After I ironed them, and maybe my iron was too hot, but it created this weird shine all over them. Not very impressed for the money.
