There aren’t many manufacturers who can claim they design race pants specifically for mountain biking, but that’s exactly what Royal do with their SP 24/7 pair! The fit is great thanks to the combination of elasticated waistband and ratchet strap. There’s also a rear stretch panel, which helps tailor the fit and prevent the rear being too baggy and snagging on your saddle.
We’re big fans of the large zipped and vented pockets too, along with the additional padding around the knee and upper shin – it definitely makes a difference if you do take a dive. They’ve stood up to plenty of abuse so far and are well worth the reasonable pricetag.

Rob Weaver is BikeRadar's technical editor-in-chief. Rob manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelance writer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in sports technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
