Kevin Benkenstein claimed victory and set a new course record at the 2023 Rhino Run, completing the 2,720 km  from Plettenberg Bay to Windhoek, Namibia in less than 8 days, solo, unsupported and wearing only one prototype pair of Ciovita’s Apex Sentiero bib shorts.

These elite bibs have been designed specifically for mountain biking and off-road cycling. The bibs are constructed from Ultra-Megno Woven Lycra, the main body of the bib shorts is not only flexible but extremely durable, maintaining its shape ride after ride. This fabric works in harmony with a completely re-engineered 4 Layer Comfort Chamois, specially designed to provide extra cushioning and support on rough terrains.

“These are simply the best bibs I’ve ever ridden in.”

“The Apex Sentiero Bib Shorts have become my go-to’s on every ride, and I’ve been lucky enough to wear them for 9 months now. From the first ride the fit, feel and comfort was exactly what I was looking for. That was only proven again during The Rhino Run, where they were both comfortable and provided that feeling of fit and forget that I have loved all year. Most impressively they held their shape, fit and grip for the full 8 days despite not being washed even once, something no other Bib Shorts have ever done for me.”

MORE ABOUT THE APEX SENTIERO

The Pro-fit leg length offer an optimised fit that aligns with the demands of aggressive riding styles. The new pre-shaped ergonomic design further enhances your comfort, enabling greater freedom of movement while minimising fabric bunching.

Made from Ultra-Megno Woven Lycra, the main body of the bib shorts is not only flexible but extremely durable, maintaining its shape ride after ride. This fabric works in harmony with the 4 Layer Comfort Chamois, specially designed to provide extra cushioning and support on rough terrains.

The breathable open-knit suspender elastic keeps you cool and comfortable, allowing for optimal ventilation during intense rides. In addition, advanced moisture-wicking mesh ensures that sweat is rapidly drawn away from the skin, keeping you dry and focused.

For a secure fit, the high-density silicone gripper prevents the shorts from riding up, allowing you to tackle challenging trails with confidence. To further enhance durability, strategic seat paneling has been incorporated, offering advanced resistance against wear and tear on rough and muddy terrains.
