Although designed for downhill mountain biking use, the Sombrio Rev Moto shorts are ideal for all-round riding too.

The long length is complemented by a slim cut, making them ideal for general hacking, and a new rear pocket for 2009 makes carrying a wallet easy.

They’ve become an office favourite, and the 2009 version looks to be the best ever – although it’s a shame Sombrio have ditched the old magnetic closure phone pocket.

In this video, Doddy from our sister magazine Mountain Biking UK shows us the new shorts:
