Updated and upgraded - Velocio LUXE Bib Shorts + Merino Colorblock Jersey Cycling Kit Apparel Review

Velocio’s LUXE apparel lineup has been one of Velocio’s best selling kits and is marketed as a long-distance kit. The apparel pieces are all optimized for comfort and long hours on the saddle with details like proprietary chamois and a distinctive soft suede-like finish. For this review, we have the latest version of the LUXE bib shorts and the Merino LUXE Colorblock Jersey with small updates for 2025 based on user feedback. Specifically, we have the $299 LUXE Bib shorts which have an endurance style chamois and high compression lycra. The bib shorts have a minimalist three-panel design to eliminate pressure points. We’ve paired the bib shorts with the Merino LUXE Colorblock Jersey that features natural Merino wool for breathability and thermo regulation. The jersey has a retro style color block design with unique colors that creates an attractive and comfortable cycling kit.

The LUXE bib shorts are marketed under the “go the distance” slogan and are one of Velocio’s best selling bib shorts. Developed for the needs of cyclists doing all-day rides, the bib shorts combine minimal seams with a compressive fit to provide support. Velocio offers bib shorts in four colors currently: deep lichen (light green), black, black olive (charcoal) and sulphur (dark yellow). We have the sulfur color option which is a unique matte dark yellow color that pairs well with nearly any jersey color. It’s a solid color scheme with reflective tabs along the rear seams for additional night time visibility. For 2025, Velocio has taken user feedback to do some subtle improvements such as a 4cm longer inseam length and an updated waistline for more coverage for the men’s variation.

The longer inseam improves the fit of the bib shorts and is something Velocio has applied to their other bib shorts like the Velocio Ultralight. The other improvement is the bib strap design which adds a mesh panel that connects the rear making it easier to put the bib shorts on and off. One of the key differences between the LUXE and other bib shorts Velocio offers is the construction. The bib shorts have a 3 panel design that eliminates all the standard seams and give them a painted-on appearance. This is accomplished through the use of a high compression lycra material and the 57% recycled polyamide and 43% elastane fabric. There is a raw hem at the bottom of the hems which also eliminates fabric bulk and gives the bib shorts a premium appearance. The fabric itself also has a soft suede like finish that we haven’t seen outside of the LUXE lineup.
