“I will admit to being somewhat sceptical before actually using them but I can honestly say they are a game changer.”
Lawrence Homer, on Trustpilot
How it works

Gel-foam padding sits where you meet the seat, at the sit bones and tailbone, and moves with you instead of shifting about like a seat pad.

Breathable mesh panels and flat seams are built for long days in riding trousers. Wear them as a base layer and ride.

Rider taking a break on a long ride in the Yorkshire Dales

Your seat was built to a price. Your backside pays for it.

Fifty miles in, it goes numb. Then you start fidgeting. Standing on the pegs. Counting down to the next stop, on a ride you'd been looking forward to all week.

MotoCush™ shorts put gel-foam padding on you, not on the bike, so the cushioning is always exactly where you're sitting.

  • Padding on you, not on the bike

    The cushioning stays under you, however you shift about.

  • Shaped for motorcycles, not bicycles

    Cycling shorts are padded for a narrow saddle. These are padded for a motorcycle seat.

  • A base layer, not an extra layer

    Worn directly under riding trousers or jeans. Nobody knows they're there.

Hidden under your kit

Slim profile under riding trousers or jeans. No bulk.

Wash, dry, ride again

Machine washable and dry overnight. Made for multi-day trips.

Long distance comfort

I purchased two pairs of the Motocush riding shorts for both myself and my partner. They arrived within six days of ordering and we are both so pleased with them. We regularly ride in in Europe, covering several hundred miles in a day often and these shorts have made life so much more comfortable. I will admit to being somewhat sceptical before actually using them but I can honestly say they are a game changer. A great product and a superb service. Highly recommended

We know riders are sceptical. Good. Take MotoCush™ shorts on real rides, long ones. If you don't feel the difference, send them back for a full refund.

Questions riders ask before ordering

Will they feel bulky under jeans?

No. They're slim-profile and made to sit under riding trousers or jeans.

Do I wear underwear with them?

No. Wear them as your base layer, straight under your riding trousers or jeans, so the padding stays where you sit.

I already upgraded my seat. Do I still need these?

They work alongside it. A seat pad stays on the bike; these move with you, so the padding stays under you when you shift position. Plenty of riders use both.

Will they ride up or shift while I move?

An anti-slip waistband and stretch fit are designed to keep them in place all day.

What if I order the wrong size?

Check the size guide before you order, and size up if you're between sizes. If they still don't fit, you're covered by the 90-day guarantee: send them back for a full refund.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang them to dry. They dry overnight, so two or three pairs will see you through a touring week.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days with tracked delivery and usually arrive in 4–8 days. UK delivery is £3, or free on orders over £40.

What if they don't work for me?

Ride in them for 90 days. If they don't make the difference, send them back for a full refund. You've lost nothing.
